That’s a really cool side effect of living in a multicultural area "great food" and from all over the world!

Not a thing, I show off my tan-lines all the time!

I first just thought you were just being a red-neck, but I see your point. I have never seen government do more harm than when it tries to medal in our lives under the guise of correcting a perceived social injustice, just look at the current banking/Liberal-lending crisis. I commend you for not being a coward, but I doubt facts are going to influence many on this forum. My ancestors came here on slave ships, starved sick and beaten, they sold themselves into slavery just to survive, later they married with Dutch and American Indians. So now every St Patrick’s day or just whatever-day; I lift my glass just a little higher to thank god no one is giving me all that help. I disagree with an earlier poster I think we should all proudly celebrate our heritage every month I would feel badly if the government had to intervene or re-write history on my behalf.
