Believe it or not, this is very useful!

Cayenne

I buy capsules and fill them with cayenne pepper and avoid the burn this way.

Warning DO NOT NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES AFTER FILLING THE CAPSULES!

It takes a long while to get the pepper off, it doesn't wash off easy!

You know this whole bilingual thing is crap. Those who immigrated here in the early 1900's adapted to the culture by learning English. English helps to make the individual fit into society and helps to enable them to find and qualify for better jobs, damn it helps to end poverty.

Don't believe that, then check out California, who ended bilingual education in 1998. Since that time, hispanic test scores in math have increased 19% and in reading 14%, damn it helps with decreasing the gap in education.

Something as simple as language levels the playing field. No money, no major government program, instead something that all immigrants who have come to this country have learned, by learning the language you perform better.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles

There are two different issues being discussed here - people who live here and don't speak English ... and people refusing to serve people who don't speak English.

Not EVERYBODY who is in this country right now lives here. There are millions of tourists who come to America every year...there are cities that LIVE on tourism. Now, admittedly, far more foreigners come to America speaking some English than AMERICANS go to OTHER countries on holiday and speak THEIR language. As I said earlier in this thread, we were in three different countries this year, two of which I spoke NONE of the language, and one that I spoke only the most rudimentary high school.

I don't think there's anything wrong with requiring citizens to speak English - and not anything wrong with strongly encouraging people who live here to speak English - but, like everything else in this country (can we say 'freedom fries' here?) it gets carried away - and now restaurants jumping on the bandwagon refusing to serve ANYBODY who doesn't speak English. Preposterous posturing and glad-handing pretentious patriotism.
