Subject: RE: BS: Your cultural heritage- is it important?
Thank you, M.Ted, for even better examples of what real, everyday problems are like.

"We do NOT have an official language"
yes, I am aware of this

"... and we should never attempt to."
and that is an entirely different question.

If you'll re-read my posts, Ron, perhaps you can tell me where I gave my "answer to solving the issue". I don't believe I did. I wish I HAD 'the' answer.

An official language might help, but it would take a long time to make a dent in the problem. Better control of immigration would help...but that is a whole new level of issues.

What I DO suggest...and what I hinted at above... is that EVERYONE should stop dancing around the problem and admit that there IS, at least in many areas, a real problem...and begin discussing it and comparing ideas beyond quoting the 1st amendment and noting what the current status quo is.
