Yoshie:
I think this is a perfect example of a pseudo-issue that has practically no implications in real life (children will still speak Spanish) but drives a wedge between different segments of the population, while corporate execs divide the spoils of the cold war. Call it conspiracy theory if you want, but it is simply beyond me why would a billionaire businessman want to throw millions to propmote an issue of little practical consequence -- unless he has some ulterior motives - like the divide and rule strategy to divert public attention from economic issues.
