once that chair leg is kicked out from under us we become less of a single nation and the balkanization continues.

I don't care if it's English, Spanish or Latin but we all need to speak, roughly, the same language.

honestly, I think there is no way younger hispanics won't learn English. It's easy, and there's so much incentive. -- nm - loosilu Apr 8, 10:54
