> HEY! I actually *like* Oregon's motto, which is poetic in a "Lifted by-your-own-bootstraps" kind of way. I looked for it... it comes from the corrupted (invented) Latin phrase "Alis volat propriis" which could equally be translated in a very PC-like fashion, "He/She/It flies with his/her/its wings."

So Oregon's motto could be "He flies with her wings"?
