[R. Murphy]

It is important to remember that France is an established country of more than 700 years. They have been speaking French for just as long and have maintained quite a pure culture throughout. Meanwhile what we call America was discovered by Columbus in 1492… in the name of SPAIN! It was colonized over the next 285 years by the Spanish, English, Dutch, and even the French. This was a free for all, to the detriment of the REAL Natives. This is the New World, and it is the calling place of immigrants from around the world and their offspring, including us. While we are a primarily English speaking country we have no right to claim puritance of culture! We annexed the southwest from the Spanish and we bought the Louisiana Purchase from the French, even New York was once New Amsterdam. If we are to claim that one language must be spoken in this nation, then it is only right that it be Cherokee, or Navajo, or some other that belongs to this land. Instead of taking offense, perhaps we should smile and appreciate that we are blessed by such a mixture of wonderful cultures and languages.
