Very good point, Loy....a point that doesn't only fit to Sternn's post, but many others, too.
Sternn...I've been to Ireland sometimes, and I love the country....but asking average people on the street about their feelings is by far not enough to get into any kind of something like history. It is a bonus, I agree, to know what single "average" people are thinking, but nothing more., really nothing more...
