What I find curious is the your celebration of your independence while clinging to the British Imperial system of measures and still referring to nail size by penny nail. More British then the British wouldn't you say?

Do you not also enjoy the irony of watching people who associate themselves with a group called the "Tea Party" who, feeling threatened by immigrants, lobby for laws requiring "English" as their official language.

I am surprised with many things I see on the Forum ..
So many NACHI members and so few use this Forum .
I think a large number just give up posting do to the % of posts giving help to the % of posts slamming each other .
Yes I do more then I should but others just seem to enjoy the silly blasting that goes on .
The Number of Posts that have nothing to do with home Inspections or education is surprising.
I sure can understand why many good Homies just give up and Move on .
The complain about your Government seems to be over whelming and no government improvements are going to come about from this forum .
There seems to be no such thing as a simple discusion any more .

Roy Lighten up! We were just having a bit of fun.
I've heard of the Tea Party but do not know much about them.
I find it ironic that the ultra right wing parties talk about less government and more freedom then as soon as they get into power they start writing laws to control everything and everybody.
Happy 4th of JUly

That is not a Tea Party position.

Not everyone agrees with you.

What a terrible thing it would be to make English our official national language.

Ironically, you can travel all over Europe without knowing a word of any language other than English. Everyone speaks English. But the nitwits in this country who think that they are doing native Spanish speakers a favor by not requiring them to learn English are actually dooming them to permanent second-class status.

The Cuban refugees who fled Castro in the early '60s picked up English "in about 3 months", as my wife's classmate Antonio Guerra relates in this article.
