Man’s Mobility

by
Mobility of goods and services is an elaboration or extension of man's own mobility. It cannot be said that man has mobility except as the manifestations of his labors are free to move.... That the general welfare is served by the free mobility of man's goods and services domestically is generally conceded. Then, why is mobility not equally desirable on the international scale?

Lamm, former governor of Colorado, made the startling claim at the conference that “the way to destroy America is to turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country.

It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual.” Unfortunately, the good ex-governor apparently failed to explain how his amazing thesis can be reconciled with ...
