So, you're saying the motto shouldn't be changed? :) As for RvW, as unbelivably as it might seem, I didn't follow that one so I can't take a position because I am not informed enough.

Don't short yourself on children which are your biological imperative (edit: unless you don't want kids either way) just because of false statment that Earth is overpopulated. The system is broken, industry is fucking all of us and when we would improve on those fields we could sustain even more people while simultaneously being more green. Also, population growth is steadily declining since the 60's and overall population number will soon start to plummet. It will cause problems down the line as population gets older and lives longer.

I know, but it's been, what, almost 70 years... Why change it now? I don't think anyone from a non-christian religion is offended by it, right? Although, true, reverting to a previous motto would please everyone I suppose...

You actually changed my postion on this. "If you want to talk about using the traditional national motto. It was “e pluribus unum” and was established during the birth of the nation." - I agree and it seems reasonable.

Although, I still don't see a problem with "In God We Trust" (because of the reasons I wrote before) as it's a part of the tradition now and something that almost everyone associates with the US.

As for the influence in schools - both sides are doing that. Sadly, all that political bullshit breaks over children's back.
