I'm also a big proponent of the idea that knowledge of other languages, and attempting to see the world through the eyes of others -which language is extremely useful for- is essential for overcoming our differences and working together for a common good. So I see a multitude of languages, while chaotic and frustrating, a way of gleaning insight into other cultures in a way we can't do if we all speak English.
Wow, I re-read this...and this is right on and makes a great deal of sense. If we were keeping score, you just hit a grand slam! Thank you. "Once in awhile we get shown the light, in the strangest of places, if we look at it right" - Hunter/Garcia
But I think it is time to let go.
Let go. Let go of the diary. Everyone. There are 245 comments now. It's like the Teri Schaivo diary: some of us refuse to just let it die. Keeping it alive isn't a good idea. There are new open threads, you can even start a whole new diary if you want. But if I have to refresh this one more time, my computer is going to be on life support! Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
