A while back, the UK held a slogan contest (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article2917745.ece) to reflect...I'm not sure, Great Britain's growth into the new century, or something.

In a similar vein, I propose a contest for a new motto for the United States of America. The current one, "In God We Trust," works, but could certainly stand to be jazzed up.

Any ideas?

"Canada with summer".

Fail on many levels.

Canada has summer, or have you never seen the Plains in June-August? I assure you it gets plenty hot.

As for political reasons, aside from healthcare, not obsessing over gays, not going ape-shit over guns and an overall sense of tolerance and well-being...nope, you still can't compare the US and Canada. The US is okay. Canada rocks.

"Give me an 'A!'

..."

Okay, nevermind.

Seriously, though, I would like something along the lines of "Where personal freedom meets personal responsibility"
But then I remember that for some reason, many people have an issue with a libertarian attitude and I sigh in defeat.

America - an anagram of A Crime

Coincidence?

Actually I like America so my poor quip is purely for the anagram, which most will note doesn't work anyway.

Because, for them, they believe it will suck less than it does in their home country.

So the US economy tends to be healthier still than that of, say, Mexico and is appealing to dirt-poor oppressed folk.

...that's not exactly a ringing endorsement of our greatness.

That doesn't explain all the Chinese and Indian people in my office...

It looks like people at the top of the intellectual chain in their own country want to come here.

India and China are better than Mexico (arguably) but while economic powerhouse they're often not exactly great places to live.

Plus the other reason people are breaking the law is that it's easier to emigrate to the US illegally than legally.
