Native tongue for America is native indian so which one should it be???????????????? Lets pick on and learn it so we can be politically correct in America. pssshhhh. English will be used here and always will be and to have people fight for it is wasting my tax dollars and yours, move on to an important subject like getting Bush to stop democracizing the world, who did not ask to be democracized and at the expense of our young men and women lives, how about that one.
