"A Saint Patrick's Day parade celebrates the rich, millenia-old cultural heritage of the Irish Catholics. It is a cultural and religious holiday."

O come on. Who are you kidding. It is a celebration of race. Other people have as rich cultural heitage as the paddies but don't feel the need to march through foreign cities. The Paddy Day Rally is just an indication of the arrogance and the self-righteous conceit of the paddies. They are worse that the South African Boers.
