To the reader who sent me this:

It seems that, over the last 100+ years, our state DMVs have done an admirable job in maintaining safety via their system of deciding to whom they issue drivers licenses and under what circumstances.  I understand that there are bigots who want to make the U.S. an English-only country, but this strikes me as solving a problem that doesn’t exist.

Here’s a little story in this regard:  I met a guy recently who had graduated from Princeton, and I told him about I guy I know who was five years ahead of me at my prep school in Philadelphia, then graduated from Princeton.  Here we are, half a century later, and I see him posting on Facebook: “English only!!  No open borders!!”

My new friend burst into hysterics.  “Yes, that happens occasionally,” he smiled.  “Jesus.  What a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

English Only?
