In Walmart the other day I was looking at some household odor eliminators and picked up a can of Glade Scents. Dying of boredom while the wife shopped for groceries, I spun it around and began to read the back.
No surprisingly, everything was written in both English and Spanish. Now, I'm not someone who thinks that English is the "national language". There is no such thing, and personally I hope there never is. Even my own wife speaks English as a second language.
But what stuck out in my mind, was the Spanish was translated word for word all the way down the label, until the very end where it stated, "All Rights Reserved".
I looked for the Spanish equivalent, but it was nowhere to be found. There wasn't even room enough on the label for it. So it got me to wondering, do they not reserve all their rights from those that speak Spanish?
Since English is the universal language, why would they discriminate against everyone but Spanish speakers? Or, maybe they are even more diabolical than what I first imagined- do they expect everyone to speak Spanish and only discriminate against those that can't?
Why do they reserve their rights for one group and not another? Or maybe they are prejudice and think that people who speak Spanish have no right to take their rights, so they only need to protect themselves from those that speak English.
This will definitely need some more investigation. Stay tuned for the most Current Situation.
