Celebrating diversity -- The One World Flag

The One World Flag enters its second year with big plans for 1998. Created by David Bartholomew of North Hollywood, California, this symbol of diversity and cooperation, like the U.N. flag, is intended to be flown-- literally or figuratively-- above the flags of all nations. Its (protracted) mission statement:"...because we have more in common as a world, than we have differences between nations."

This flag honors the artistic and spiritual paths of each individual (the micro), and, at the same time, inspires us to "Think Bigger!" (the macro). It is supportive of all, at the expense of none.

"While the steps of our individual paths may be different, our destination will ultimately be the same, " says Bartholomew. "And it has been my focus to inspire and motivate everyone in a number of ways, allowing them to choose from whatever serves them best."

While preferring to describe what it is, Bartholomew emphasizes that the flag is not "aligned with any New World Order or other power trip or conspiracy." Conspiracy theorists who miss that crucial point and are inspired to "spam" him at his website are urged to re-read the mission statement for key words like "honoring", "supportive", "tolerance", etc.... "give it a rest, and lighten up."
