Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[AKvetch]

Augie,

I generally stay away from public discussion of politics, but something did strike me in your mum's forwarded letter.

This idea of America, being a multi-cultural community, has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle.

If we, in fact, do not have a multi-cultural society, I'd like clarification on the writer's idea of the singlular American culture, his notion of the American lifestyle, and clarification that we have our own (national?)language. This sounds like the writing of a provincial person.

Should I infer that by posting this letter without comment that it represents both yours and your mum's opinion, or that you meant for the post to become a springboard for discussion?
