...but these days, Reality is so much like Satire I think I'll give up trying to create either.
The United States Senate, by a 2 to 1 margin, has voted to make English the official and sole language of the country, making further nonsense of my facetious post of April 28: http://ltmurnau.livejournal.com/105761.html
Bob Harris puts it well:
"Over two centuries of constant immigration, and never once has an official language been important enough to bother with. And in these days of the Internet, massive multilingual communication, and translation tools at our fingertips, never has an official language been less necessary. Not even close.
But it's an election year. And for about 30% of this country, fear is an emotion that overrides everything else."
