Damned immigrants

Mrs Walles and I have been travelling again, and I haven't had time to update the blog much.  Fortunately, though, all this gadding about has given me plenty of material for future posts.  Today just a brief entry, but one that packs quite a punch if you ask me.

In many US states, including Pennsylvania, only the back of a car carries a number plate, leaving the front free for something else like an affiliation or a humorous bumper-sticker style message.  Like this one which we spotted recently.
"WELCOME TO AMERICA NOW EITHER SPEAK ENGLISH OR LEAVE".  How pleasant.

Good thing I speak something that passes for English here.  Although the kind of person who puts that on the front of their car for all to see may have more stringent standards of English than the average American.  I'd better watch who I talk to...
