Yo Querio Pizza Hut?

O.K. Let me start off by saying I am so happy to be living in a democratic society here in the United States and that I embrace my nationality whole heartedly. With that said I must say that I am very disappointed with the state of Texas for allowing democracy to run amuck to appease immigrants. Again, half of my heritage is that of the immigrant plight...after all, my mother came to this country and is a naturalized citizen of the U.S. However, I found myself a bit disgusted with Texas for now allowing the Mexican peso to be used as currency in Pizza Huts in their state. What the hell is going on?!? First the Mexican flag was allowed to be flown over the American flag and now you can even use currency that is not from this country? Since when has English and the American dollar become politically incorrect in the United States? Last time I checked, when I visited other countries, I was required to use their currency and adapt to their language (if they didn't speak English). Nowadays it seems that the United States is the only country you can come to and never have to worry about speaking the language of the land or adapting to any of the guidelines here. Why adapt when we'll accommodate instead? I noticed this trend over almost 20 years ago when I went to take the written test towards getting my drivers license. Even back then, if you didn't speak English, you were allowed to take the test in a host of other languages including Spanish, French, and Italian. At that time, all major roadway signs were in English. Nowadays, the signs are still in English but fancy translation signs are also available to cater to those who might not speak the language. It seems to me the American way now is to be Un-American. I am appalled that this is happening. God Bless the USA...he will now need to start praying for us too!
