Words to live byI have this to say about the radicals: I love you. But you don’t have to look to hard to find examples, among us, of some of the same things being rightly criticized in the Brittney Gilbert blogswarm referenced above. An example: It’s a fine thing to slam someone for writing something you find offensive. It’s another thing to slam someone for not writing something the way you would have, or for writing about a subject other than the one you think they ought to have picked. It’s a fine thing to criticize someone moderating comments on their blog in a way you don’t agree with, but it’s another to slam someone for not moderating comments on their blog 24/7. It’s a fine thing to decide that your blog has a specific mission. It’s another to decide that your blog’s mission is the only mission any blog should have. In short, it’s one thing for you to be disappointed in or angered by bloggers with whom you share some political viewpoints. It’s another to assume they owe you anything other than basic human respect because you’ve done them the favor of reading their work. Subscribe Buttons                    | |
All is not Almost
Yep, folks, we are almost all immigrants here whether we speak Spanish, English, Dutch, Chinese...whatever.
It's an awful definitive statement. mexicans are not immigrants "here." they are descended from the indigenous of this continent. and many of them speak spanish. true, a conquerors language. but one sewn into the culture of Mexico. which is North America.
Not that i disagree with your overall statement! But even so, Indians might speak Dutch, too. you know? language is no determiner of bloodline. not necessarily.
