Honestly, I don't know how many times I have walked into a government office and been frustrated with my inability to talk with government workers in English. On any given trip to city hall, the county courthouse, and the DMV I have found my self speaking Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and Farsi. In fact my sons birth certificate is filled out in a combination of Hindi and French. I don't even have a driver's license because I didn't bring a translator with me the last time it expired.
Our culture and language has crept into nearly every corner of the map yet millions of Missourians cowered in the voting booth hoping to defend apple pie, grandma, and baseball from from the clutches of multilingualism. Speaking of baseball have you noticed that Joe Morgan is now announcing games in Spanish, Japanese, and French. Our most iconic sport is a monument to multiculturalism (yes I know it is the second multi-ism in this paragraph). English is the language of the world. Don't believe me? Fucking google it.
And how the hell does this law apply retroactively? Will all of these dumb-fucks pony of the tax dollars to change all of the street and town names that are non-English in nature. We have already anglicized the pronunciation of most of the French that pervades the town of St. Louis. Why not eliminate them altogether and erase the influence of anyone other that English speakers.
Or we could go completely native on their asses and pick an indigenous language at random and then perhaps conduct all government business in Cherokee.
Well at least we didn't have grant the legal status of "person" to a fertilized egg. Stupid fucking Coloradoans.
