I love the original motto of the United States: E Pluribus, Unum. It would be hard to express just how significant a sentiment I think it is, but I can tell you quite plainly that it is central to my own political philosophy. It is, in my opinion, the single greatest stroke of genius from the Enlightenment attitudes which dominated the revolutionary era, and only two other democratic concepts--"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and "the tyranny of the majority"--can even hold a candle to it.
It was a dark day for the country when, in our anti-Communist zeal, we replaced it with that awful "In God We Trust."
