MELTING POT

OUR "MELTING POT" OF IDEALS Egyptian Greek Roman Iroquois . These four form the foundation of American government's aspiration. Each one account for its strengths. Egyptian in its ideals and symbols. Greek in its forms of democracy. Roman in its unique republic form. Iroquois in its separation of powers. Like government its language is also polyglot. Derived from English, the earth supreme polyglot tongue, American English accretes words and phrases incessantly. As such its dictionaries are always in annual revision, some comprising more than 500,000, and more: 750,000! The average American's use of maybe 2,000-5,000 words is also representative of the extent of their understanding the larger paradigm of their government and language . American sapient foundational and linguistic diversity explains why its core credo has been so hard to crack philosophically by minds that have been less read, less knowing that those of its founders, who were learned at least, despite being largely slave holding or hypocrites. Those disposed to remove to undo the cloak of cabalistic sovereignty that rules America, would be well advised to know the complexity of its gumbo, its melting pot of ideals.
