I've never been all that sure myself. I get of hearing this. They collected money in areas with high Irish American population, and the average American heard nothing about it, till the "TV news Expos?". If the average American had know about it and had agreed with it, there would have been more than enough money flowing into their coffers for them to have won. The ones who did donate were people who came to the US to get away from the British, and wanted to help those left behind, right or wrong. -- Service to my country?

The people in cities were often rude, and the people in small towns and in the countryside were almost always cheerful and friendly. In the US, I find city and country people mostly friendly, without a big difference. I think the rudest place I've been was Moscow... glories of Socialism and all that. John

NYC and Boston come to mind, though Boston has gotten much better in recent years. I've often pondered if rudeness is inversely correlated with personal economic health. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
