Getting Along...

America's underlying strength lies not in diversity or in any abstract or physical power, but in a sort of plurality. In reality, that strength emerges only when we as a community can muster at the least, tolerance, and even better, an ability to abide and concede that we possess different and beneficial strengths.
The only way that this plurality can continue as strength rather than a destructive and divisive undoing is through dialogue, and much better, a conscious relaxation of the need to be absolutely, immovably (and potentially violently) correct in every situation.
