Mike,
I'm sure you're just venting here, but in the United States - there is NO official language. English is only one of many that is used, and had it not been for ONE VOTE (long ago) we would have all been speaking German!

Hard to believe, but it's true. English is not our official language. It may not even be the most used soon. Seems like everytime I go out I hear more and more accents and other tongues spoken. Who knows WHERE it'll lead. Give us your tired, your poor....Land of the free and all......
