I'M CONFUSED

When we talk about being bilingual -- speaking two languages -- why is it we are talking about a one way street.

Think of it.

When is the last time you heard anyone say that a Mexican national should be bilingual?

I don't recall ever having heard that.

It is always us who needs to be bilingual so they can understand us.

Even Wal-Mart no longer requires its employees to speak English.

At a store today (Broadway and I-30 in Garland TX) we asked a clerk where a certain item was in the store.

"No savy Ingles" was her only reply.

Shame on me!

I should have been bilingual so I could have asked her that question in Spanish.

And in passing...

Today, July 1, is the day President Bush wanted 2,500 National Guard troops stationed along the Mexican border.

How many actually made it?

483.

Sounds like our government is just as concerned about the illegal immigration problem as it is about rising gas prices.

And if you think Big Oil isn't price gouging us to death this July 4 weekend -- well
