Hi Weby-E Pluribus Unum

has been on life support here for most of our history. The Civil War is just the most extreme example of American intolerance. Here are some other infamous incidents.

In the seventies, Sly and the Family Stone had this hit song, criticizing our propensity for subdividing ourselves:

Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my songs
A butcher, a banker, a drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people

There is a blue one who can't accept
The green one for living with
a black ones tryin' to be a skinny one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha
We gotta live together

I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me
You know me and then
Still can't figure out the bag I'm in
I am everyday people

There is a new man
That doesn't like the short man
For being such a rich one
That will not help the poor one
Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on scooby dooby dooby

Ooh sha sha
We got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't
Accept the black one
That won't accept the red one
That won't accept the white one

Different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and
Scooby dooby dooby
Ooh sha sha
I am everyday people

There’s been plenty of Pluribus, and little Unum-and only sporadic scooby dooby dooby (which, lets face it, we could all use more of).

Makes Obama even more amazing-right? Everyone is also chiding Michelle Obama for her “Proud for the first time” remark. Consider the above as the backdrop for her remarks. –Short version of conclusion-anyone criticizing Michelle Obama is a pea brain.
