Subject: RE: Songs about The Potato Famine - Ireland
Spot, you should never feel that way. The various abuses of peoples all over the world leave plenty for all of us to apologize for. I bear no ill will towards the English people, as most I have met have been wonderful and gracious to me. What we are talking about was the policy of a government. The only ones that infuriate me are the ones who attempt to mitigate the actions of the times. Or the ones that attempt to continue to justify policies in the North of Ireland that continue to subjugate and discriminate against folks. Time for it to end.
We have all been guilty at various times on this forum of letting our passions get in the way of civil discourse.
