 I don't need to build an argument, I simply rely on the facts. 
 You OTOH are trying to change those facts and history in order to 
 support your very bigoted POV.  This is and has always been from 
 it's inception a bilingual country.  Obviously you don't like and 
 can't accept that and that's fine but you cannot change history 
 to suit what you think.  Give it up Bill there are enough 
 revisionists in the world as it is.
