If Proposition 103 passes ..
and English will be the official language of Arizona, will Arizona then be willing to teach English in our schools, rather than 'American English'? Why did Americans recreate the English language? Was it a lack of education which led to words being given new spellings? I wonder.

And will Arizonans then be taught to refer to 'marijuana' by it's proper botanical name, Cannabis? It even sounds more 'American' than 'marijuana' *LoL*

1. I think it is a way to stoke the current fires burning re
immigration.

Which has become a straw man for homeland security.

We do need to do something about the border and immigration, but how many of the terrorists have come in from Mexico?

Scapegoating, IMO.
