"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

somebody thought it was.   :-D
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

I'm thinking a small local paper covering something like this would be quite common.  The fact that it was picked up by the AP is a little surprising. 

However, probably good for the bees and us Beeks!  :)

My wife sent it to me.  Even she pointed out 60,000 is merely a full size hive.  The photo was good and most people have no idea there are so many bees in a hive so it seems incredible.  The article was good though.
