It’s a picture on an Indian.

And an arm with a sword coming out of the ground.

The cause is dumb, but MA is one of many states with ugly flags.

For aesthetic reasons would be happy if they changed it.

I thought the arm comes from the 1775 Bedford Flag, but maybe not.

Some people think it's going to cut off the Indian's head.

Here's the supposed lowdown. Take it with a grain of salt.

The arm and sword are an old heraldic device from England that has nothing to do with Miles Standish. It denotes honor and bravery and was added to remind people of the sacrifices of the patriots who fought in the in the Revolution.
