What does stars are blind mean?
Blindness is an attribute that pertains to living creatures. Stars are lifeless constructs in nature. Frequently from historical times all the way to present day such things have been personified and very often related to living creatures. Stars, for instance, were often related to divine beings or angels. Blindness is firstly a physical condition that afflicts living creatures that otherwise would have an ability to see, but is frequently used allegorically to refer to delusional state, or insanity. Thus, it could be a way of saying that angels are delusional.
I believe that it is Hinduism, though mediums, psychics and clairvoyants mention chakra or something very similar.

Is the US flag a craven image?
I believe you may mean "graven" image. A graven image would refer to a carved or crafted idol, an object that a person would bow down and worship.
Where a very few people might worship the flag, the majority of people would not.
I don't think many people would refer to the flag of any nation as a graven image.

This means that it was created to unite the Arabic-speaking countries and to make sure that their interests are being represented and their independence is guarded.

A dragon's colour does sometimes depend on it's habbitat. for example a polar bear is white to camoflage itself into it's habbitat. dragons are big predators like tigers and lions so they use there colours to camoflage. like the frost dragon, the grogyle, knucker, lindworm and the eropean dragon. they also have diffrent colours to tell them apart fro each other, there are many reasons what their colours mean. dragons dont really have elements they all pretty much breathe fire expect the frost dragon which breathe frosty blast and fire.
Why is the flag on the Scout uniform displayed wrong?
Category:Boy Scouts of America
The flag patch on the BSA uniform is worn properly. So is the flag worn on the uniform of many law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical services and astronauts. Page 76 of the 12th Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook notes the difference between the BSA and the U.S. Army methods of wearing the flag, and that the BSA method is in compliance with the U.S. Flag Code.
The US Flag Code has no guidance on the wear of the flag patch, nor on the use of flags on vehicles. When the US Flag is depicted on a vehicle, the tradition is to show the standard flag on the left side and the reverse on the right so that it appears to be advancing.
The BSA started wearing the flag patch on the uniform in 1972, using the standard flag. Cub Scouts initially wore the flag over the right pocket, then it was moved to the right sleeve.
The US Army wore the standard flag patch on some uniforms during World War II. They began wearing the reverse flag patch during operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Army refers to it as the U.S. flag cloth replica. Other services do not wear the US Flag on uniforms.
