TY, Here is an idea... Why don't you, for the sake of a bit of personal growth, if not to become more secure in your convictions, take a few days in Dublin from Dec. 10 - 14. Come to the conference on nomadism in the 21st century and see the world from the "others" point of view. If it does not change you, you will at least catch a great concert by Paddy Keenan, and I will buy you a pint at Slatery's.
Cheers
Larry
