Date: 2006-05-19 01:47 pm (UTC)This is flat-out STUPID, and I haven't the slightest doubt that they hatched this "wonderous plan" because of the immigrant issue. Sure, encourage people to learn English, require it to immigrate, even, but official language? Does that mean people who speak another language in their own homes (because we know the government likes to push themselves even into the bedroom) are punishable by law? What if someone /doesn't/ speak English, but they're trying, by taking classes or such? Is THAT punishable by law?
This is so stupid. There are so many other issues that need attention, and they're wasting their time on THIS??
I call for a march on Washington! Er. Somethin'. Considering that I'm entirely sure that... no, actually, I'm not. I was going to say that I was sure our representative would vote against it, but Indianapolis used to be a big KKK headquarters, and much as I want to secede from Indiana and attach our county to Illinois, it won't happen. Unfortunately, we seem to be the only county that has more than about 5 Latinos, so they're not exactly visible to the rest of the state. (I actually like the Latinos that live near us... don't know much about the others, but these guys seem hard-working, and they're mostly quiet, except fo the circus music they play. Even that's better than rap, though.)
Sorry for the rant. :)
