English as a second language

The whole argument for implementing an English-only requirement is repugnant. Supporters of this Us Against Them revolting mentality, the Lou Dobbsian crowd, should read the history of the English language. Language evolves, just as do the physical traits of sensate beings. (Perhaps Us Against Them, the UAT, proponents believe in the insane creationist theory?)

Our Philosophy:

I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind - that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking. I believe that no discovery of fact, however trivial, can be wholly useless to the race, and that no trumpeting of falsehood, however virtuous in intent, can be anything but vicious. I believe that all government is evil, in that all government must necessarily make war upon liberty... I believe that the evidence for immortality is no better than the evidence of witches, and deserves no more respect. I believe in the complete freedom of thought and speech... I believe in the capacity of man to conquer his world, and to find out what it is made of, and how it is run. I believe in the reality of progress. I - But the whole thing, after all, may be put very simply. I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than be ignorant. **HL Mencken
