Just a quick little post to put this picture my son took in Berlin. I thought others might find it intriguing. I've gotten emails and questions from friends lately about right-wing legislation to make English the official language of the U.S. People have this odd notion that it is only very recently that official documents were translated in to languages other than English, or other languages could be heard being spoken on American streets. My own parents grew up in Baltimore with kids who had non-English speaking grandparents.

This picture is very symbolic, tangible evidence that we really are a melting pot, and we're better off if we stay that way.

Anyway, for what it's worth, check it out ...
