Thanks for joining in the conversation!
You said it, Robin! Eloquently expressed. My friend and I laughed ruefully at ourselves-- VERY ruefully-- but we didn't let this guy get us down, don't worry. We're both experienced campaigners and too persistent in our causes for that. And I should clarify to anyone reading this that I certainly don't consider Marines, an increasingly diverse entity, to be inherently bigoted. Just the one (if he even WAS a Marine) in question, judging from the juxtaposition of his bumper sticker slogans. Another note: I myself am in favor of English being our official language. There's nothing whatever bigoted about a country having an official language and expecting people to learn it if they don't know it. I'd never dream of trying to live in another country without learning or using their language. But I would never hatefully tell someone to "get out" on the basis of their language practises. This country is so much more vast and diverse than many. There's room for reasonable debate on the matter.
Of course, there are countries like India where many languages are spoken, which could prove quite challenging if I wanted to live there, which I don't. I did recently enjoy the movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel", though! :-)
One earth - one people. Personally, I think everything would be so much easier and better if everyone in the whole wide world could speak Swedish, instead of all these strange foreign languages like English, German and French, etc.. 
Javisst, B! Det menar jag ocksaa! ;-)
Aw, gee, Freddy, you're no fun anymore. Such tact! Such finesse! Such understanding! NOT. But seriously, it's always nice to know one's efforts are appreciated. Hey, I'll try to remember to express myself primly in drab, meaningless, monosyllabic posts completely devoid of any trace of passion or personality from here on in if it makes you feel better, OK? :-)
