Proposing an Official Language »

I'll admit that I'm a white guy who is all too rapidly approaching middle age and doesn't get a lot of things, and at the risk of sounding even more clueless than usual, one of those is why so many people are against an official language for the United States. Unlike a lot of people, I really don't have a problem with it and why it makes news when people want to create an official language really baffles me.

Of course my support comes from the assumption that the official language is English. If the official language is Albanian, I might take issue. Nothing against the Albanians, mind you - I just don't speak the language. It would also seem to make sense that the language of the majority would be the most logical choice, but then our government and logic don't always go together, do they?
