Hey again, it's me, DiGsTeR02. This week I want to talk to you about something
that I and many other people have noticed. Two weeks ago, Whyville got a few new
chatrooms (the teleport planets) including Mars, Earth, Saturn, and the moon. To
go there, all you have to do is say 'teleport mars' (or whatever planet you want
to go to).
I found out about this by reading Bracelet's article, "Teleportation is Phun"
(from the June 20th issue). After reading that, I decided to go to the Moon. I
went into the Greek Theater and said 'teleport moon' and I looked around. This
is what I saw.
"Hmm," I thought, "there's something missing...."
And then I realized; there was no Canadian flag there. I know, you're probably
going to tell me that there is no Canadian flag on the real moon. I know this.
But I think that Canada and America should be treated equally.
Most of the time, when people visualize the moon, they see it with an American
flag on it. That's okay, because that's how it really is in real life. But my
mind does not perceive it that way. I think that there should be a Canadian flag
on the moon, along with an American flag and some other countries' flags. In my
opinion, the American flag on the moon is a way to brag. It's sort of like
saying, "Hey, I was the first one to land on the moon and you weren't."
But I want to change that. I want to make it so a bunch of countries are
respected, not just one. You see, people from Whyville come from all over the
world. I know that most of them come from the U.S.A., but does that make them any
different? I don't think so. We all are similar in some way.
We need to put up different flags on the moon so each well-known country can be
represented. I said only the well-known ones because the moon would be full if
we put up every single country's flag! LoL!
I went to the moon with a Canadian flag in my hand, and someone asked me, "Are
you going to put that in the moon?"
I told him, "Yes," as I found a small crevice in the moon's surface, and stuck
the flag in it. He watched me, and cheered, "GO CANADA!!! =)"
Of course, that flag is not on the moon if you teleport there right now. I just
wish Whyville's designers could put other countries' flags on the moon. We need
to show our country's pride! Hehe. ;)
If you agree that there should be other flags on the moon, then post in the BBS
which flag you want to be represented. See you later! :)
Truly Yours,
DiGsTeR02
Editor's Note: The U.S. landed on the real moon, and nobody else has yet; should
other countries get their flags on Whyville's moon, or should it represent what's actually there? A good question!
