One nice thing I can say about France is that everything is in French. If you
immigrate to France, you must learn French. Nobody publishes anything in your
language for your convenience, and if you demand that others do things in your
own language, you'll be laughed at and/or ridiculed.

At last -- a reason to admire the French! I *knew* they had to have
some redeeming qualities...

;-)

Seriously, I find it appalling that our supposedly cash-strapped
National Weather Service is wasting untold oodles of taxpayer money on
bilingual weather forecasting. Who in the hell authorized THAT
expenditure?

First of all, take a look at that webpage. As if ANYONE can't figure
out what the weather forecast is simply by looking at the pictograms?
Why did we need to pay someone to translate it into a foreign
language?

I find what's happening to our society -- at taxpayer expense -- to be
more than a little aggravating.
