RE: Why Americans feel no compulsion to learn foreign langua
A foreign language is useful only when there are large numbers of folk around who speak *one* *particular* foreign language, and these folk have knowledge and skills and power and wealth, for example if you are close neighbor of Germany or France. Americans feel no compulsion to learn foreign languages because the only time they need a foreign language is spanish to negotiate with whores. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

It's interesting to note that while Tim speaks Spanish to gardeners, James speaks Spanish to whores. Can't blame him, considering what American women must be like where he lives. :-) --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

Consider the crypto implications: James's whores can compare notes and discuss right in front of him the size of his reproductive organs and the time it takes him to ejaculate, and he won't understand what they're talking about. :-) --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
