Three Cheers for Donna...................

ah gang warfare by email how FRIGHTFULLY enlighteneing, well I was going to let the "proud to be american " pass without comment in the intersts of peace and harmony but as people want to keep on at it here goes. As we seem to be split into those who are proud to be American and those nasty people who either are not or those of us who merely live in the rest of the world. 1. I'm sure all those eager young men in the IRA and UDF (to get back to Ireland which IS what we're into eh) are terribly PROUD of being Catholic and Protestant, so PROUD in fact that they are quite happy to kill maim etc likewise all those young Arabs so PROUD to be muslim. So why is it such an insult to say someone is not proud to be ...? 2. No man is an Island. Unless your geneaological interest extends merely to listing all your surnames in the hope of there being someone else out there with the same name ,in which case you're probably better off on the Ireland Roll Calls List, you are presumably using this board because you have an interest in Co Cavan. How is it possible to have an interest in one of the six counties without wishing to deal with the all too real issues of sectarianism which not only affects people today but affected our ancestors as well. 3.Those not interested in this thread can always delete the messages without reading, or here's an idea, start a new , improved, fun sized thread of their own. 4. " All that is neccessary for evil to occur is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burke 5. Congrats go to Karen for starting the most interesting conversation that's appeared on this board for ages! regards Jane Pearson jtpoutdoor@xtra.co.nz ----- Original Message ----- From: <Shamrock1020@aol.com> To: <IRL-CAVAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 4:34 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-CAVAN] Orangemen > Three Cheers for Donna................... > > > ==== IRL-CAVAN Mailing List ==== > To unsubscribe from this list click on > mailto:IRL-CAVAN-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe (list mode) or > mailto:IRL-CAVAN-D-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe (digest mode) > >
