Nobody

I happened across this story on CNN: Cherokee Tribe Tries to Save Language and it's made me very happy.

I don't have time to write - I shouldn't even be spending so much time at CNN - but I wanted it noted that I think this is a good thing.

The story parallel's the sorts of things my parents and then I went through in school being bilingual. Today my mother teaches in both Spanish and English and I firmly believe this a good thing.

I'm fine with English being a unifying language, but the concept of making it the _only_ language I find abhorrent.

But yay for the Cherokee!

ok...back to work
