A man complained about the state of things today, because he spied a bottle of Red Cream Soda labeled in both English and Spanish.

"This country was founded by English-speaking people," he exclaimed to me in outrage, "and I refuse to support that! I'll just buy the other stuff," he said in a huff -- I made no effort to stop him.

In his mind, he drew a line against the tides of aliens. Just by refusing to buy something he never bought before.

He walked away. Italian Opera Music played over the PA, and he bristled at the totality.
