But permit me to point out one other little common sense observation. If -- in daily life -- you encounter someone speaking another language around you, what is it that you think immediately? Right. Are they talking about me? Some people would jump in here and say "that's paranoia!" -- but it's not. It's simple self preservation and reasonable suspicion. Imagine what the hijackers were saying to each other in Arabic prior to their final act. They could be reasonably sure that no one would understand them. So they could conspire in the open. And the PC intimidated American public just merrily walks by, hoping...praying...that their secret fears are untrue. But they were true.
So tolerance of "bilingualism" can in fact be lethal. America knew this not too long ago. It was considered rude to speak in another language in front of people for just this reason. But along with other judicial acts of tyranny, the courts have now essentially ruled that you have no right to demand of co-workers and apparently politicians that they should be polite and be sensitive to the wishes of their fellow citizens. I would say that's because they aren't our fellow citizens -- their loyalty is with Mexico and the other Latin American countries that they wish to live in, but find economically unattractive.
So to me bilingualism is not just a cultural threat, but a physical one.
