Does anyone else find it disturbing that the National Weather Service
in the United States is paying out taxpayer money to a government
employee to create a foreign-language web page?

Yes.

One nice thing I can say about France is that everything is in French. If you
immigrate to France, you must learn French. Nobody publishes anything in your
language for your convenience, and if you demand that others do things in your
own language, you'll be laughed at and/or ridiculed.

Step one in moving to France for me was to become proficient in French. I've
never asked anyone in France to do things in English for me. I fill out all
government forms in French. I speak only French at government offices. Never
a word in English.

This being so, I'm perfectly placed and qualified to say that every immigrant
can and must learn the national language. Any immigrant who doesn't is lazy
and unlikely to ever properly assimilate into his adopted society. Thus,
anyone who immigrates to the U.S. and doesn't learn to do everything in
English can do everyone a favor by returning to wherever he came from.

As for people who are born in the U.S. and don't speak English, their parents
are incompetent and are preventing them from ever fully functioning or
succeeding in U.S. society.

Sometimes this 'melting pot' ain't doing much melting.

I say, let them eat English!

I know some Englishmen who would beg to differ with that statement. :-)

It is interesting to note that, statistically, of all the Spanish-speaking
people who _cannot_ read and write English in the U.S., most are also
illiterate in Spanish as well. So putting a Web page in Spanish accomplishes
nothing at all--anyone literate in Spanish in the U.S. is also likely to be
literate in English, and any Spanish-speaking person who can't read English
probably can't read Spanish, either.

Well, Michelle, why don't you learn it? That posting is hardly a model
of good writing.
