The Irish saved civilization. I've never been welcomed so warmly nor treated so well as on my three trips to Ireland. The country is booming for the first time in centuries, God bless 'em; they produce more software than the US if you believe what you hear. The US would never have been the country it is without the Irish immigrants (nor any of the others I must add). I don't mean to stereotype, but I've developed the impression they love words and a good argument.

If we're ever in a bar all together, I'll buy the first round.

Isn't it time to give this a rest?
