Language

You know, with all this talk about immigration it's interesting to see American's strong loyality towards English- as if it was our language. When they claim that English is America's only language, are they paying tribute to our heritage of having come from the British or do they think that English is OUR language? Quite frankly, we don't have an official language and shame on us for not doing so.

Now, the National Anthem is being recorded in Spanish to appeal to Hispanics. Lot's of people think this is wrong and goes against for what America stands. People say "If you're going to live in the US, then learn English." as if English WERE the official language. Is English really better than Spanish? Personally, I like Spanish better. If we want people to learn English, then let's make it the official language. Otherwise, why shouldn't they be able to have the national anthem in Spanish?
