It is called, the UCC - The Uniform Commercial Code - which BTW is FEDERAL

There are many other examples PL
There is no point to anything, I was simply asking you if English is the Federal official language of the U.S. A simple yes or no question would do much fine.

As a blanket statement, this is false. Take your own advice and realize that economics is more complicated than you make it. Supply and demand set price, not cost of production, especially cost of labor. In manufacturing, labor is generally way down the scale in associated costs. Raw materials cost far more than labor.

What amazes me about certain liberals (not necessarily referring to you); on the issue of raising the minimum wage, liberals will point to studies showing it has no impact on inflation, yet regarding illegal immigration, inflation suddenly becomes a concern.

For example, Wal-Mart can make or take a vendor that they are working with. Wal-Mart's requirements are so tough that it's hard to earn any revenue for the american companies. I don't condone illegal immigrants...PERIOD!

A) Walmart is not a/the problem - they carry the same products many, many, many other national retailers carry

B) Prices will not go up 30% - that is bogus

C) American companies are paying minimum wages - AND MORE

D) We do not need the illegal immigrants.

Case closed

English is the OFFICIAL LEGAL language of the United States

We will see a Constitutional Amendment, in the near future, to make English, the official language of all governmental business.

And, quit your profanities PL - shows your immaturity

I took the lords name in vain inside church once during a baptism. The priest sprayed holy water in my eyes and it came out. The word was 'ah Damn'. If damn counts as a bad word in church why did the priest assume I said God damn? People who don't believe in God don't think saying "Jesus christ" is a profanity. I don't take this from Religion nazi's.

I can understand your feelings concerning using a religious figure's name in vain; that stated, under FCC guidelines-------'Jesus Christ', etc. is not obscene.
