As for LA, and use of English, that's mainly an issue of immigration, most of it illegal...Seems they

are having similar problems in the UK and other parts of western Europe.

Point: There are geographic and cultural differences in the US, but

historically, we have always been one nation, with no particular demographic

differences. Apart from a couple of states in the Southwest,

which saw wars with the Spanish colonizers, every state entered

into the union freely...That's apparently not the case of

England and Scotland, but btw, I'd be happy to let certain parts

of the US (like the South) go, if we could agree to certain things,

like a common defense.
