Otherwise, we're not really united.]]> One of the tragic consequences of the regime of Homeland Security has been the shrinking of human consciousness. The idea of the Homeland, reset the ideal of e pluribus unum to the instinct of nationalism. Under the Homeland, we have abandoned the values of democracy for the security of turf.

When people repeated the motto United We Stand, the we didn’t refer to anyone but Americans. The rest of the world wasn’t included in we any more. We were not part of humanity any more. We became exclusively Americans, and set ourselves apart from everybody else.

It’s time to step away from the Homeland, and return to the United States of America that we used to know. This bumper sticker helps us do that. It takes the Homeland Security motto United We Stand, but brings our focus back out to see the whole Earth, not just the USA.

United we stand only works if we stand with all humanity. Otherwise, we’re not really united.
