Michael: I am proud to be of Irish extraction. I do not want to be called an Irish-American. I want to be called an American. I do love Ireland, even with all its problems. I am sad when our people kill each other over religion but I understand the real problems. I have had the good fortune of going to my family in Ireland and of seeing that country from one shore to the other. I have done as you suggested. I cancelled my tickets to Tiger baseball and Lion football. Never owned Red Wing season tickets but often went. Never went to a game that I could not get a ticket off the street. My Son is a Red Wing faithful and still sees about every game. He has far more money than I have. I mean, when you are single, 35, (A true Irish bachelor) have a good job, own your own home, and have played hockey all your life I guess you would find it difficult to give up NHL hockey. For kicks, my Son and a buddy of his travel around the U.S. to watch NHL hockey. My Son has to pay his way while his friend is a journalist and that is part of his job. I am pleased for Sergi. Detroit tried to run over him. Probably because he is a "dumb immigrant" I am pleased that he is not so dumb. Mike Illitch will never meet Carolinas price so Fedorov will be playing in Charlotte. Good for him. I would still not attend the games. It is my small protest. I saved your point about "legal reform" because it is the most difficult. My estimate is that about 80% of America's lawyers believe we need "legal reform". The politics of the system will make it very difficult but there is an on-going effort toward that end. Ron P.S. I know another American who has been offended for years by the names he has been called. He is black and has been called all those names you and I know about. He presently gets called an Afro-American and all he wants to be called is an American. I hope that our black brothers will all come to feel that way.
