I sincerely doubt that. Yes, English is more dominant now than it was when
you were born, but now it is losing a little of that dominance. You need to get out of Iowa once in awhile. Visit Washington, D.C., or New Mexico, or Puerto Rico. We have managed to hold this country together for more than two centuries despite the fact that so many languages are spoken in it. I suspect it will continue for a few more. We have never before in our history had a government that REQUIRED bilingualism. We have always tolerated multiple languages, because we are *all* immigrants -- but the difference now is that all of us are being forced to pay for another set of immigrants who are apparently incapable of comprehending English. You must believe that America has become weak indeed if it can no longer tolerate what has been the situation since its inception. See above. We have never had governement-mandated bilingualism. Ever. What bilingualism existed was like Milwaukee (German) or San Francisco (Chinese), and was paid for BY THE IMMIGRANTS THEMSELVES. Huge difference. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
