(Page 2 of 2)

California's Governor Davis will be the first to ask that Eureka (I have found it), be changed to or balanced by Dude, where'd it go?

Idaho's Let it be perpetual will be amended to Until the U.S. District Judge changes it.

Illinois' State sovereignty, national union will more aptly be stated, National sovereignty.

Will Indiana's Crossroads of America become America's Dead End merely to placate the anti-corporate factions?

And while I generally await the ever unfolding humor of a non-conservative world, I tremble at what changes feminists might demand in Maryland's beautiful Fatti Maschi, Parole Femmine (Manly deeds, womanly words). Ouch.

Imagine what rights Judge Duval will see squelched by Ohio's With God all things are possible and Oklahoma's Work conquers all. Those state governments may be paying out court decreed financial settlements to plaintiffs unwillingly oppressed by those mottos.

No changes predicted by Duval for Nevada's All for our country. Though I personally would support an optional motto of 15% Flat rate for our country. The Clintons will file a brief requesting transposition in North Carolina's To be rather than to seem, thus creating To seem rather than to be. Howard Dean will gain votes by urging an optional license plate for New Hampshire's Live Free or Die: Live Globally or Be Shunned.

Montana's Oro y plata (Gold and silver) evokes materialism, untrammeled capitalism and mines that created ecological wastelands. Organic herbs and vegetables will offer a healthy alternative motto.

Don't ask me what will happen to New York's Excelsior (Higher). Or New Mexico's It grows as it goes. Or Washington's By and by.

Will Wisconsin's Forward be reversed?. Will Texas (Friendship) be influenced by the Girl Scout Council of America, which recently deleted "Be cheerful" from its ten laws for girls. Will we see grumpy Texans driving cars with specialty plates saying Up Yours?

(Judge Duval may be among the first to lay down $25, in currency printed with the pagan-placating national motto In Satan We Trust, to purchase such a plate.)

The big winner: Al Gore! The man with vision! For surely the most politically correct national motto to be court mandated will be E Unum Pluribus!

"La la, la la! La la! La la! La la!"
