Here’s a story out of Taos, NM about a new hotel owner who fired people for speaking Spanish. . .

Down at the Wal-Mart where I shop here in South Florida, these are some of the languages I hear as I cruise along the aisles:
Spanish
Portuguese
Haitian
French
English
Chinese/Vietnamese/Japanese
Farsi
I mean, WOW! What a variety of people and languages!

I think the title is fine. If you get too creative then nobody can find it.

I got the email, but I thought it said it was a reply here. Guess I’m fuzzy today as well.

I’ll put a link to it in my blog roll here.

@Sage, I didn’t post my response here, but sent it by return email. Sorry if it didn’t get to you. Following is my response to your question and the text of my email:

I’m just starting today. Since I know Blogger, I created a new blog using an existing template.

http://youdeservehealthcare.blogspot.com/

I’m a little overwhelmed and fuzzy this afternoon, but I started with an old one. I’ll start posting more tomorrow, one post for each of the six I know about already and any more I can come up with doing a little research. I thought I would list the posts on the sidebar by insurance company, showing how many per company have been posted…like a scorecard.

Any other ideas? The title is not very creative, but that can be changed.

Yes, Spanish IS a lovely language. I agree that nobody should tell you and yours what language to speak.

I miss hearing my grandmother speak Spanish, I miss my aunts and uncles and my own father and mother, all born in the united states. Spanish is a lovely language, and it is our right to choose what language is spoken in our own homes.
When we seek out certain nationalities and insist they speak English, it is an assault on their rights and ours to choose.
We all, with exception of the native Americans, immigrated to this country, and I for one am sick to death of whomever it is that think they know what is best for me and mine.

Terry…it looks like I lost a comment you made. I got an email saying you made a new comment but it didn’t post here. I don’t know why.
