It is the same in the United States, R.I., the difference being Spanish
rather than French. This is one of the arguing points of many Americans: How or even why do you expect hispanics to learn English when everything is translated into Spanish for them already? Personally, I think it's a two-way street, so the bilingual labeling doesn't bother me, but there is a point to be made, to a degree.

our "official" language in Canada is English, but....
to satisfy our French brethren, all our signs and labels are in both languages....:(

Well, then, malignantattic, you're alright by me. If you hate Bush, you'll
simply loathe Robertson, Mr. Self-righteousness personified. Check out the "700 Club" or CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network). He's the man behind most of that evangelical media outlet (and a Bush backer as well, as are many of the radical and religious right).

I almost feel obligated to say sorry, but
I don't know who Pat Robertson is so I couldn't comment on many of your blogs, though I wanted to say somewhere that I thank you for supporting my poetry. I agree that our government wastes a lot of time and a hell of a lot of money on being politically correct, when both should be completely spent on the welfare of the people. Oh, and by the way, I fucking hate Bush.
