That situation has recently changed, with the rise of misguided souls
who seem to believe that it is the U.S. taxpayer's sworn duty to
translate every official document and website into every language
(AKA: "foreign" ones), rather than raising the bar the *tiny* amount
it would take to require English language skills of our citizens.


I guess this is going to be another point where we will disagree :-)
it is not however a matter of 'moral relativism', but of different
background; I know, albeit indirectly, what forced integration
looks like, and it isn't pretty (horror stories from my late
grand dad, the french were quite brutal in their way of spreading
the 'One True Culture/Language (tm)' -- which makes it all the more
ironic when you hear them whine today about anglo-saxon cultural
imperialism, but I digress);

since we are way off topic wise, anyone could suggest a good Spanish
language course in Santa Clara county? my high-school Spanish is
quite a bit rusted and I wouldn't mind getting back to learning it.

How on God's green earth you have equated an opposition to government
spending taxpayer money to translate services into multple languages
with "forced integration" just illustrates that you can only demagauge
the issue.

the arguments justifying either tend to be very similar, hence the
connection I made.

It seems that now illegal aliens will be able to buy aircraft more easily,
since Bank of America is issuing credit cards to them for free. See

I thought this was a class urban legend when I first heard about it, but
unfortunately it's true.

I don't know about courses in that area, but at the very least get the
tapes out of the library and start there. It's free, and it can't hurt.
You'd be surprised by what comes back.

Let me know if you find one here on vernacular Spanish.
