used to mean something when I was a kid. It meant we (America) don't torture prisoners (learned that playing Army). It meant that we look out for the little guy and stand up to bullies (why we kicked Nazi butt). It meant that everyone has a voice and a vote (until bush v gore). Even though we've never lived up to those values completely, at least we strived for them. Not so much any more. I think they dropped it for marketing reasons but it sure is telling that it couldn't be sustained.
