Ditto on the immigration issue. I'm sorry for the illegal immigrants too...but they're still breaking our laws being over here. If I were an illegal immigrant right now, I think I'd at least lay low and keep my mouth shut!
we should also translate it into French and German and Polish and Dutch and Chinese and a bunch of obscure African dialects and heck, Gaelic too; and then when Americans gather to sing the national anthem it will sound like the tower of Babel and maybe God will strike us dead.
That cracked me up! But good point. I heard that the anthem wasn't just translated, though--it was practically rewritten. :|
