"In God We Trust" is the our national motto, as signed into law
by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. If people out there want "In
God We Trust" removed from their currency, they should lobby for
a change to our national motto. Personally, I like "E Pluribus
Unum" better (From Many Into One), because that supports actual
unity instead of the divisiveness that is tearing this country
apart.<br>

E Pluribus Unum is more likely a part of the problem than it is part
of a solution. While it may be the case that cheering on team
efforts in a competition among other teams is useful or comforting,
the fact of our increasingly less hierarchical and and more
networked social organization is that peer-to-peer and
network-to-network relationships are now more common, and more
important, not just within this country but around the world, both
within and among countries and companies. We need adjustable,
dynamic organization charts that can be more readily modified to
meet the needs and exigencies of necessary problem-solving rather
than just historically inertial, traditional, fixed, relationships
among solution-generating and strategy-deciding workers and
officers.<br>
