I was recently informed by my friend's 8 year old son that America is not a melting pot, it is a salad -- all of the ingredients are still themselves, but together make something new and great.

I like the stew and salad metaphors. But mosaic works, too.
Speaking of food, I'ma try the fish place. Mmm. Fish. America is a fish.
The new day is a great big fish!
