Edwards: You Can't Corner Me
"We have a war going on and we're paying for hospital care, children in school [for illegal immigrants]?" a woman pointedly asked John Edwards in Williamsburg Iowa over the weekend. When a person in the crowd said they had not heard the question, Edwards said the query was about one woman's "view" of immigration, suggesting he did not agree with her sentiments.You see what happened there? Edwards, refused to be boxed in by the womans use of words in her question.

About this Entry
I like Edwards. I have only this to say: When I considered moving to France, my first concern was to be able to communicate with the French. Ergo: learning french.
I'm still studying Dutch in hopes of visiting Amsterdam.
I have read that there is a HUGE english-speaking, ex-pat presence in BOTH places but that would not be my goal. My goal would be to become a citizen of either country.
America is predominantly an English-speaking country. That's not my fault or yours. It just IS. Rather than working to change that, folks should be working to learn english as we progressives have learned spanish to communicate with our latin friends. The deal is anytime we allow a division it results in turning us against each other. The goal is to make it 'the PEOPLE' ALL THE PEOPLE. With a government who is afraid of the people.
Love one another. It's the only simple rule. People try to make it so hard is a result of ethnocentrism. I happen to be English. HOWEVER, my ancestors worked hard to lose their accents when they came here. It's really no different. It's the fault of a democracy that wants to melt ..... each of us is a bit of a mosaic. We can hold our heritage and personal cultures without insistence that our language be used. If my Grandfather had moved us to Germany instead of America I would be a german-speaking person now with English as my second language.
Why can't people SEE that?
I just wonder.
viva la revolucion.
