Isn't it ALWAYS the Irish!? <chuckle!>
..as someone with the first name Caoimhín, I can say stuff like that. Though, as far as I'm concerned, anyone pointing out that there's something "special" about the Irish, however meant, is fine with me.
Time for a good round of "Dearg Doom", by Horslips, is in order! Sing it up, boy-o's!
Nations are what their inhabitants make of them,.. by definition. "Freedom" is not defined by what any individual "wants" it to mean, but by what "the nation" acts to define it as.
Those who won't accept the "active" definition of the characteristics of their nation actually AREN'T members of their "nation" any longer, and have decisions to make as to where they want to live, and how they want to interact with the "locals" there.
Personally, being of the "This IS the best, and only, world possible!" school of thought, where things are meant to unfold they way they do, and do so in the best way to allow us to learn from it's unfolding, we can certainly fight evil as best we can, but we also need to gracefully accept those things that we can't alter very much, and help ourselves and others to "surf" the waves of this "classroom" to find the most satisfaction with life at our end.
Aloha īa kākou! <shaka nui!>
