Rules for the phone.
How ALL business phones in America SHOULD be answered!
GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA .
Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you learn to speak English
And remember only two defining forces have ever
offered to die for you,
Jesus Christ
and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Seems a bit unfair on the only people who actually have the God given right to live in America, for whom English is NOT their first language (obviously).
How quickly, it seems, history can be forgotten.

Americans are, after all, as human as the citizens of any other country.

Yup, as egocentric and xenophobic as all the British (and other nationality) immigrants who settled there all those years ago and treated the natives so poorly.

And then there were those who stayed put yet still held those views. America does not by any means have the lease on ethnocentricity.

Loulabelle there are no 'Native Americans', some just immigrated a lot earlyer than others and it is still in dispute whether the Aisan tribes or the European (Viking) tribes found this land first. And if it was the European tribes then the Aisan tribes killed of the European tribes first.
P.S. In Canada they are called First Americans not 'Native Americans', the Canadians have it right.

 My ancestors were there to Greet the first "boat load", I'm pretty sure language and immergration rights, was not the first thing on their minds.(more like;There goes the Nieghborhood) So,with heavy heart,and very worn thin "Welcome" mat, I, as an "Native" american ask you,,,Is'nt the BIGGER question here,,,,Why cant there be a "Press '3',to speak to a LIVE operator"? instead of endless recording's that all bring you back,to menu or leave you in that Black Hole of, Voice Mail Boxes,,,Everybody came from Somewhere, and Now Here We are....Take care of each other.....  Crazeeeeeee,,,,,,,,,,,,,
