A unified country?

Okay, so having English as an official language wouldn't be a bad idea. In a way I agree with the usenglish website. I can see the consequenses and the advantages of that. There is no way that the gov. can force people to speak english in there own homes, that is their own choice, but for a more "unified" country having English as the official language in the "buisness" world could promote a lote of stuff, but I don't know what.
On the other hand the pbs piece hand a good point that being bilingual/mulitlungual is going to give kids especially a greater chance at life. I work at a grocery store and I get to meet a lot a spanish speaking customers that only know how to say,"I'm sorry I don't speak english." and I don't know their situation, I don't know if they are in the process of learning and could be embarassed to speak. I know that when I was trying to learn French I didn't dare go up to the people I knew spoke french and speak to them, I didn't know enough. My point could be if I had one that bilingualism it great, and so is one official language.
