those who insist on english as the national language should be able
to demonstrate the ability to read, write and speak it correctly, an ability that I notice is sadly lacking in the chimperor, for one, and quite a few of the "english only" or "english as a national language" bunch. as a matter of fact, I notice this lack in a good many people --it is appalling how many of the european-derivative native-born (we are NOT talking the First Nation peoples here, thank you, they have their own languages)demonstrate a complete lack of competence in their professed native tongue.

for those of you who support "english only" or "english as the national language", tell me, please, what on earth is so damned threatening about people speaking other languages? how many do YOU speak/read/write/comprehend? what deep, dark lack do you feel in yourself that you insist that everybody speak only one language?

and in case you supporters had not noticed, most of our official business, and quite a bit of our private business and communications, ARE, in fact, conducted in english, so I repeat, WHAT THE HELL is your problem? and do you NOT see that this is yet another distraction of the administration to keep people's attention off the miserable failure of their policies? if not, then perhaps you ought to attend to the serious issues at hand, and stop wasting everyone's time, doing kkkarl's work for him.
