No, Amos...we have too many people in addition to having "too little imagination, too little vision, and too little organizing talent.".


And...there was an entire hour on MSNBC last night, moderated by the 'fanatical' Lou Dobbs, on the immigration problem....with several sets of panelists, including serious opponents of Lou. Several Hispanic panelists gave their interpretation of the problem and its possible treatments......sadly, many of their arguments sidestepped the real issues.
   When the topic came round to the idea of making English the 'official' language, one man tried to claim that it was an English only push(carefully refuted by a mayor who showed that his city has been TRYING to hire multi-lingual teachers. etc...but can't keep up), while another asserted that "it takes time to learn another language, and people have to work", as if that was an excuse for not bothering to learn the language of the country where you live.
I wish I had taped it, so I could review all the (sometimes heated) debate in detail, but as I expected, there were some pretty emotional assertions put forth as 'evidence'.
