How To Succeed in Any Society

 1  |  2 

So tell me this: Why is it that there is NO english 'translation' of anything in Mexico city (much less any other city in Mexico)... Not in the subways, airports, or anywhere else? But I have to listen to the seating instructions at Disney's Haunted Mansion in spooky-spanish?

I totally support what Mexico is doing here, by the way... Stick it to the bastards to the North, for sure. But please don't expect us to hand you a drivers' test in Spanish...

Finally, I'd like to say WHAT the HELL? Why are we giving out voter pamphlets in anything other than English? It is a requirement to become an American citizen that one must speak and write English.

If this is a requirement, then all citizens should be fluent in English. Somewhere along the line, something is going horribly wrong. Either citizens are raising their children to NOT speak the languge that they in fact speak, or (more likely), people are becoming citizens without meeting the requirements for becoming a citizen.

What country in the world can you move to and demand education, voting rights, government forms, etc. in a DIFFERENT language? Only here. We're the morons.

If you move to France, you learn French. If you move to China, learn Chinese. If you move to Germany, hide all emotions. And if you move to the United States, learn ENGLISH. It will help you more than it helps anyone else.
