Terrence, I was right on all my points about the typical Irish diet, and palm and palm kernel oil, but since you will not admit it, and did at least manage a sweet compliment, let's change the subject. Here is a poem about the typical Irish diet of a century and a half ago, during the Potato Famine: An t-Ocras Mor (the great hunger) We are hungry, oh we are hungry We hunger for homes, now devastated For the lives of our children, now cremated For the lands of our fathers; taken from under our feet We hunger, not just for our own crops to eat We hunger for dignity crushed underfoot By tyrants who settle down here and take root We hunger for justice, our land is our own Will Britannia's hold on us be overthrown? We die here in Dublin's docks where our livestock and all our crops Are sent for English mouths to feed One sick crop cannot leave A whole nation to starve But we are hungry. By Katie. You know, the Irish voted today on their peace agreement. The Ulster Protestants had a lot more to lose than the Catholics, since the Catholics have been at the bottom of the heap historically, and it hurts quite a few of the Protestants to share power. The votes are coming in now, and while it looks like the agreement passed overwhelmingly in the republic of Ireland, it may be that enough northern Protestants voted against it to make enforcing it impossible. I guess we will know better tomorrow, when more of the results have been tallied.
