17. I say leave it out of the national discourse...
Edited on Wed Jun-21-06 01:10 PM by Solon
It isn't really needed, to be honest, and should be left up to local and state governments for their own demographic shifts, stuff like that. Arizona has two official languages, which makes sense, California has its constitution originally written in Spanish and English, Hawaii is also officially bi-lingual, as is Louisiana. I posted a poll a while ago, its was meant as tongue in cheek, but I listed the choices for America's official language, I figured the choices would have tipped people off, Esperanto was at the top of the list, then I listed Spanglish, Creole(Dialect of French, spoken in Louisiana, also called Cajun), and also Native American Languages, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned English, but I threw it in there, unfortunately, too many voted for that choice, though I got at least two votes for all the others.
