Oh I agree that everyone in the US should be speaking English and that it should be the official language and if you don't speak English you provide your own translator at your own expense. Actually I am taking it for personal pleasure and the fact that my two older brothers both speak Spanish, but the time I came along mom said no more Spanish in the house. I know you aren't flaming we both are really on the same page.

When I was growing up in Colorado in the 50's, 60's and 70's, we were REQUIRED to take Spanish from the 2nd grade through the 8th---after that, we could take another language or no foreign language---

So, I took spanish for 7 years and I barely remember any of it---it still makes me scratch my head WHY we did, way back then...

BTW, I live in Arlington---so, howdy neighbor...!

Also, I am watching THe Beltway Boys and Both Mort and Fred are in favor of some sort of immigration policy that lets them have a sort of amnesty---they said only radical hard right Republicans are against it....

BOY, do they need to read FR!
