I live in New Mexico, but don't speak Spanish...more as a protest to those too lazy to learn the language the majority speak here. I can read it, however, due to speaking Italian.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I've learned the language of every country I've traveled or lived in. Learn the language the law is written in...it's just good sense.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
