I think that pride in our country could unite us in a common bond.
However, we seem destined to destroy ourselves from within, pitting faction against faction.
America, as a melting pot, was once our strength, maybe now it is our weakness...let us pray.

I've been thinking that for a long time. The sooner we forget about where our great-great grandparents lived before they lived here the sooner we will be able to unite as Americans.
I could care less that my Father's father came here from the Phillipeans or that the rest of my family came from Europe.
All the labels do for us is tell us how our fellow Americans are different from each other.
