I'm not sure how many of you have passports, but it was time for me to renew mine. I went and stood in line waiting to get my picture taken, and noticed that the people trying to get or renew their passports could speak very little if any English at all. The lady taking the pictures for the passports was a translator, and it seemed to be helpful for what she was doing. When I handed her my papers, she looked over them and asked me a few questions. I answered her promptly, not to hold up the long line. She looked at me and kept repeating herself. I kept answering her questions and was getting perturbed. She finally found it upon herself to say, “I am a translator and know 6 different languages, but I can't understand one word you've said.” I plainly looked at her and said, “Why not make it 7 languages and learn English Bitch?” I took my paper work and left and went to a place that spoke English to get my passport renewed. This is America isn't it? So why do I have to speak a foreign language to get my passport renewed. God Bless America!
