Unholy_Smite, first off you need stop thinking that just because someone is bilingual that English is automatically their language of preference. That's very arrogant and signifies your beliefs that English is a superior language, and that in consequence is belittling of other cultures. Sure, historically Theodore Roosevelt declared that there was only room for one language in the United States (and that being English), but he was also a staunch supporter of the eugenics movement. Do you know what the eugenics movement was about? As for national unity, that's a pipe dream there buddy. Language is probably one of many things we can ignore as there's lots of other really hot topics on the table; abortion vs pro-life; sex education and prevention; separation of church and state; private or socialized medicine; military spending; taxes; gay marriage; education; economy; stem cell research; civil rights; global warming; equality; legalize pot; Coke or Pepsi; PS3 or X360... the list goes on and on. Let's not forget there's a big fight about defining English itself.
