Tell me something.
Isn't this the United States of America? Isn't English the native language in this country (at least for the time being)? Why, then, do so many businesses which we call have voice menus directing us first and foremost to "For English, Press 1"? This sooooo pisses me off! Why don't they assume that most people contacting them will speak ENGLISH, and if they MUST have an alternate language, why isn't the message "For Spanish (or French or German or Chinese or Swahili), press 1"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just one of life's little peeves that grates on my nerves, but it's indicative of how muddy our identity has become. I'm all for diversity, this but this is absurd. Damn.

Yea,this is typical of what's happened in this country. Might as well let the illegal immigrants have the run of the place.
heya, beautiful! expect more of this stuff in the future too. tis really a shame we're giviing the country away!
Of course we all realize that english is NOT the native language of our land. We did take this land...by force of death upon others. Hmmm. Seems ironic doesn't it! Hope that doesn't happen again! By someone else!!
With that said...we, the English speaking, did settle the land; made this country grand; allowed us our freedoms...etc. I, too, agree with what you've written. It pisses me off to no end, but that is the direction in which we are moving.
I also believe that before too long, we'll all be speaking Spanglish (Spanish-English) and we'll all end up so interbred that there will no longer be preservation of any race.
