Pop-culture lifeline, Seeking
Ever since strumming my first guitar at age 11, I've prided myself on being reasonably well-informed about pop culture. Even as I weaned myself from network TV, got married and had kids, friends such as Tony have, sometimes inadvertently, kept me reasonably plugged in, and, of course, in recent years I've had all the Internets to help with the task, as well.
But I've finally stumbled across a pop-culture curiosity I've been unable to crack, so in open-source fashion I'm asking you for help. What does this mean?
I've seen it in the form of bumper stickers on the backs of cars, but it's no state, national or navigational flag that I've been able to find. The cars I've seen it on have been driven by people of all races and many apparent nationalities. I've seen it as a decorative front "license plate." I've even seen it as a car magnet in the shape of a six-pointed star, but with rounded points, so that it looked more like a sheriff's badge than a Star of David.
So can anyone help me out here? This is driving me nuts.
Thanks.

Hey- my first time reading your work blog...
I just learned what that is LAST NIGHT. The Thin Blue Line. Friend of Police. There is a similar one with a red line; apparently that is for Fire Department.
Love XXXOOO

Tom, now that I know what to look for, I'll see if I can spot some of the new ones. Thanks!

That isnt a new version of the thin blue line, its just a dumb one.
The one shown above has always been and will always be the only one.
