I don't think I am. I could say the same thing about being in a french community. There was no english people there but we still learned it. You did have teh chance to learn and you refused to take it. It's not the gov. fault you turn that chance down. It's yours. I speak english all the time, my son goes to a english school and my nephew comes from colorado so cannot speak french or understand it but he knows it's needed here and is willing to take the steps to learn it. I cannot see how you can say I'm being niave about my comments when there was comments made that "if we want french go to quebec" (not in those exact words but close) Maybe so when you were younger it wasn't as needed but that's still not a excuse.
I have not seen anyone answer my question on "if you were a employer would you hire two people to do the job of one?"
Be careful what you write cause you can say boo and they will jump down your throat.
