as i am now a bit tipsy i propose a national resolution:
make march national irish history month.
why not?
this nation was built on the backs of the irish.
it's true.
think railroads.
think bluegrass.
think boston.
think police corruption.
think beer.
okay, so think good beer.
then thank the irish.
as it is we get one day.
one day.
a day where no one even cares what the irish have done.
a day where "everyone is irish."
what is that crap about?
is everyone black on martin luther king day?
of course not, i'm probably racist for even asking that question, right?
all i am saying is that every one of america's oppressed groups should have a month (or so) to bring awareness of their contributions.
you don't think the irish were oppressed?
good.
it gives rationalization to irish history month.
now you have the opportunity to learn a thing or two about history, don't you?
so what i propose is this:
i think that for the following month all of us should find out at least one interesting thing about irish history or culture and then share it with the rest of us.
even if you are not irish. i would do the same for you and whatever ethnic group you hail from. even if you're french.
to start things off, i will say that if you ate nothing but potatos and milk for the next five years you would suffer absolutely no vitamin deficiency. thats right. you can totally survive off of potatos and milk. the irish, of course, new this and, being poor farmers, exploited their knowledge to the best of their ability. this is why the potato famine of the mid 1800's was devasting and, subsequently, why so many migrated to america during this time.
there you go. irish history month. i look forward to hearing from you.
