The Ideal America

What would it be like to live in an ideal America?

Here are my suggestions...

“Press one for English” only makes sense if you actually understand the language. But why the only other option is español baffles me. After all, there are other folks in our great nation who speak languages other than English and Spanish. It seems to me other ethnic groups should get their own telephone buttons to press.

In my ideal world, the one button would be for English, the two button for Spanish, the three button for Dixie and the four button for Ebonics. Then, would hear the following message, “Press one for English. Prensa dos para el Español. Y’all mash the three button now, ya hear?
