English as the Official Language? November 26, 2007

America, as a nation, hasn’t chosen an official language, as most people know.  In Oak Point, Texas, they recently declared English as thier official language.  They claim it is to decrease the expenses incurred when translating documents, such as permits and contracts.  I think that is rediculous!  They have enough money to afford the top-of-the-line police task force, but they can’t afford a few documents?  This subject is under great debate, the city is divided.  My first thought was ‘discrimination.’  I just can’t reason why this was necessary.  If the rest of the nation can afford it, then Oak Point should be able to.  Oak Point it the definition of descrimination.  They have concrete roads in the ritzy part of town and gravel roads in the trailer park.  I think that everyone should be treated the same, no matter what.
