2. "What go around come around-Yes!" Just cracked me up.
It ranks right up there with "You the Man" -Michelle Bachman

That is why I stay true to my ethnic heritage. I am Irish and I am from the San Fernando Valley. So I use precise language and say "like" a lot. Like a whole lot.

Funny aside: I am still angered by those days so long ago. Ohio got memorialized in a song but the students at Jackson State were left to disappear in our memories.

I won't forget.

I was just in 9th grade and I was already wearing black arm bands against the war. I knew it was wrong for our country and the youth who were being sent to die.

Now, after so many years, I know that no power can ever stop a people from establishing their own country. My family fled Ireland when the British would not release their hold on that tiny island. My father was born a British subject in occupied Ireland in a city that bears a Gaelic name now. My mother's family can now hunt for food on the land where they could not hunt nor fish. Or go to the grocery store. Its much easier than throwing a stone at a rabbit.

We could have helped Vietnam in 1919 and 1947 but we didn't and got a war for it.
