Andrew PriceThe Freakonomics folks have issued an open call for a six-word motto for America. The first five are pretty great. We also liked:
Number 55: "Not the only country in America"
Number 97: "Like Ancient Rome, with flush toilets"
Number 105: "We're more machine than man now" (That's a Star Wars reference, right?)
See them all here. "America: Love It Or Fix It" is also six words long. We like that one.
Thanks Zach.
