Soup or Salad?

After listening to Doug Wilson tonight (co-author of "Getting America Right") I now realize that this is a metaphor for the choice we face in America right now! He pointed out that a salad is a combination of ingredients that always remain intact (until eaten, that is) while a melting pot (I call it soup) starts off with the individual ingredients and ends up a tasty blend of all of them as they gradually meld together...

E pluribus unum "out of many, one."

Ok, so what do YOU want: soup...or salad?
