Why a movement to dissolve the USA? We love America – we just think we’d get along better without such varied competing interests. A smaller, more regional government could better serve its constituents, with fewer conflicts.

Why a movement to dissolve the USA? We love America – we just think we’d get along better without such varied competing interests. A smaller, more regional government could better serve its constituents, with fewer conflicts.

Just think how varied we are as a nation – couldn’t we come to agreement quicker without all those differing viewpoints? Gun ownership means one thing in inner-city Baltimore, and another in rural Nebraska. Antismoking laws warm the hearts of liberal West Coasters, but inflame the minds of libertarian Montanans. We’re different, that’s all. After all - good fences make good neighbors.

Q. Dear Ombudsman: I’ve got a bone to pick with your Latin. Shouldn’t it be Ex Uno Plures? Or something else like that? Have you double-checked your declensions?

A. Thanks, smart aleck. The name of the movement sacrifices proper Latin for immediate communication. It is hoped that every American understands E Pluribus Unum to mean “Out of Many, One” – and that a simple switch of words will quickly communicate “Out of One, Many.” A quick exchange of E for Ex emphasizes an idea of former-ness, or breaking up.

Do we have a better suggestion from within the movement? Feel free to comment with your corrected Latin, or a new suggestion.
