Whether black or green or the divil-a-shade between for me , MGM . Guest's comment about the world's problems being solved if we could get the warring factions together over a nice cup of tea reminded me of the last verse of "The Gentle Cup of Tea" I saw in Sam Henry's book of Irish folksongs : "With whiskey stout galore ,how many heads go sore ? Shillelaghs by the score so manfully do play For all their heathen ways, good luck on them Chinese That send us oe'r the seas our gentle cup of tea "
