Freakonomics is having a contest to find a new six-word motto for the U.S.A. They were inspired by a NY Times article about England’s search for a motto, or “statement of value” and will be giving a boatload of Freakonoics swag to the winning motto. E Pluribus Unum is good and all, but doesn’t have much punch to it and I bet 19 out of 20 Americans have no idea what it actually means (Out of Many, One).

Here are a few of my favorites so far:

Just like Canada, with Better Bacon

All your oil belong to us.

Some are more equal than others.

That looks nice. It’s mine now”

America: bombing you, suing each other.

war=peace freedom=slavery ignorance=strength

One nation, in spite of itself

Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, Asterisk.

One Nation to Rule Them All

Happiness is mandatory. Are You Happy?

In gold we trust, a lot.

You Call It Torture, We Don’t.

Liberty for all, when its convenient

What do you think? Do you have any good slogans to add to the pot?
