With all the stars that are being use one would think we’d get tired of seeing them, but the star is different than other symbols I have become tired of the use of Uncle Sam and the Statue of Liberty. I’m sick of orcas, salmon and polar bears, but the star is something else. It is the king of all symbols that I never get sick of seeing.
