I think the problem came in here. If you notice at the very top it says "quote Soapweed" Then it put it in a box that had the other fellows name. I surely don't know how all this works but I certainly didn't do it on purpose.

Any immigrant, legal or illegal, coming to the United States, should have to learn our English language before having any rights whatsoever.


You sorta contradict yourself here a little bit. You say it isn't an issue to be voted yet those who vote against it should get no respect. English is automatically the "official" language. It shouldn't have to be voted on period!! There doesn't need to be a vote up or down. We don't need a law on it. Just like flag burning which is a contradiction in itself since the proper way to dispose of a flag is to burn it. Of course, there is a certain decorum to follow but "burning" is burning. There are rules/laws governing this already and therefore an amendment to say the same thing is redundant and therefore not needed.

Sorry for the confusion.

I can see where you are coming from, but on the other hand we are starting to get over-run with "furriners". There is no sense to the fact that all instuction books for appliances, etc., being sold in the USA, need to have any other language printed besides English. Maybe now is the time to declare English the official language for the United States. Either learn it, or resign yourself to not sharing the privileges of English-speaking Americans. I don't hold in high regard any senators that would vote against such a proposal.[/quote]

The reason the instructions are printed in several languages is to save money. They export much of the merchandise to other countries and to print a separate booklet would cost more money than just including the different languages in the same booklet. There are several pages that are the same language--English--that would have to be printed in each booklet. That's the reason for that. I figure the congressmen feel that there doesn't need to be a law to state the obvious. I don't know. I do know that they have more pressing agenda to better spend their time on.
