Both work. The problem is, both groups run things now, and they are often as rotten as the English, and even better at being ruthless bastards.
How do the Irish run anything?

we,ve both struggled to attain respectability and secretly revelled in not having any though truth be told , the jews are much more creative , radical and non conformist , irish people talk a good game but rarely walk the walk, at least the ones who live in the homeland
God I loved that post.

Ok, but keep in mind a month is better than nothing.

I am opposed to any designated history months that serve to diviide rather than unite.
Frankly I find that the division isn't coming from the celebrants but from those opposed to designated months yet who did nothing and are doing little to integrate the history of our diverse people into everyday curriculums.

Present company excluded of course.

By the way, that is why they both have produced great literature and comedy. If you don't get the blues there isn't much to say or to laugh about.
I'm "Irish" and we def changed from the "shanty" to the "lace curtain" in what, 100 years? Tho we do still have more problems with drinking and mental illness than many other groups I'm sorry to say but we ARE getting better!

Many Irish fought for the Confederacy too. Over 40,000 - the largest immigrant group. Great detail:

History, Heritage, Folklore, and News from County Sligo, Ireland

Remember, Margaret Mitchell created Scarlett O'Hara - her dad was a passionate Irishman. Tara is the ancientl seat of Irish kings.
