Every now and then people need a swift kick in the ass. It looks like Bill was in the right place, the right time, and had his size 12's on! Now someone White needs to tell this to the white guys, someone Hispanic needs to tell the hispanics, someone Asian needs to tell the asians, etc. Maybe, just maybe, if people hear it from one of their own, it will start to get through and not sound like a put down!

Bill is on the right track! Kudos to Mr. Cosby!

The ballots in California are NOT only in english. I personally believe we spend way to much money to print things in different languages. No other country prints its ballots or government documents in other languages. If you are going to come to this country and participate in the way things are run, then you need to learn the language. I would not go to France, never learn to speak French, and then complain that I can not vote because I can't read the election materials, or understand what the people running stand for because I can not understand them. This is just common sense.

In a way we are encouraging people to NOT learn english by printing everything in every language. If they can get what they need by speaking thir own language, why learn english?
