Thumbs up Re: St. Patrick's Day

From Swanny>"Why do people that aren't Irish get so excited about St Patrick's day??"

Cos~ we love you ALL > from those small (but) mighty islands!!

A lot of us over here and everywhere in this world~ have relatives and lots of heritage from your part of the world.

Why~ do American's get so excited and crazy about your Royal Family~ same thing!

We are the original MELTING POT!

Don't even ask me~ how crazy the Italian American's> get over Columbus Day (and he wasn't even Italian)!

Lots of love too you Swanny!

Note, America (once) took pride in uniting its citizens in common virtues and goals.
