America's motto, "E pluribus unum," has been inflated beyond what was originally intended. It was a political statement, a recognition that out of 13 separate states, one nation was formed. It was never meant to imply that out of all the various origins, cultures, and religions that formed America, we have only one uniform people today. Which we don't. Whether we can all live together is a constant test of the American experiment. There's no guarantee that we will always pass the test.
