Unity in diversity. Diversity is strength. All our diviersities are unified. All our unities are diversified, each more than the last and, going forward, more than the next.

Twaddle from "Truthout" - perhaps Eugenia Rela�o Pastor's piece loses something in translation (my emphasis):

European secularism needs to remain flexible and be attentive to the excesses of secularism, discrimination against practitioners of minority faiths and the coercions of the cultures of majority faiths. Messages of exclusion and imposition, Swiss and Italian respectively, could not be further from that contemporary Europeanism that cherishes the notion of diversity just as much as equality; for the official motto of the European Union, mind you, is "Unity in Diversity." The essential task of European citizenship, then, is to create a common ethics that welcomes diversity.

To take multiculturalism and pluralism seriously in our Europe means doing away with marginalization, indifference and hegemonic crosses. The ideal of universalism is built from the recognition of equality and fundamental rights, and so the realization of these principles entails eliminating the restrictions to freedom and guaranteeing liberty for all people; it entails respecting and uniting believers of different faiths and also non-believers. To prohibit and impose excludes and divides, it does not unite, and it dissolves the bonds between fellow citizens. This road leads not to peace and social harmony, nor to an inclusive and pluralistic European citizenship.

Gladly the hegemonic cross-eyed bear.

Update: Urban Dictionary has a snort-inducing definition for "cross-eyed bear". Not sure if hegemony comes into it.
