Zusammenfassung:Native Americans living on a reservation are the last ones allowed to be "bi" or "multi" but the rest of us, not so much. Even then, the trends in the state (and in the country) were seen at the national level, with the president visiting the great state of Arizona, and then denouncing the use of foreign words like "taco" in restaurants, and people wearing their red caps applauded him. Humans haven't yet established moon or Mars colonies (it's in the works), but it's possible to take a cruise over the planet, go around the earth, stare at the galaxy while hitting the buffet and get fatter, another one of these American rights, the right to eat till you explode. The children of the English Only types, primarily white kids, arrive in my class unable to spell the English language at all, and not caring one whit about subject-verb agreement, but I can't lecture them because a damaged, subpar English is the only language they are required to learn.
