You're absolutely right about wars and religion. I think that has more to do with leaders (mis)using religion to whip up nationalistic fervor than with the religion itself. For instance: If the religious factor were the only thing removed from the Northern Ireland equation, would they still fight?




Wait a minute Bill!!!

Is this a TRICK QUESTION???!!!

OF COURSE they'd STILL FIGHT!!!

We're talkin' IRISHMEN here!!!!

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
