Lost part three - English Language

I just watched "House of the Rising Sun" which is the first episode of Lost that focuses its flashbacks on Sun and Jin. About one third of the this episode was in Korean with English subtitles. This gives me hope.

This morning on facebook a slight acquaintance of mine posted a number of hateful signs with spelling errors. Things like "English is are only language" or "Obama is a Muslin." I will admit that the irony of these American fascist's poor grammar is entertaining. However, after that moment of humor is past I find myself left with such a feeling of dread that this is what passes for good citizenship.

Then I look at Lost as the number one show in tv and the multicultural cast that was accepted by millions and I feel a bit better about the world.
