I...Belated happy birthday, fellow 24th Novemberer!<br /><br />I came over to give you an idea about Thanksgiving, since you asked on my blog. But this doesn't seem quite the right moment. <br /><br />Poor Ireland. I feel the same about Britain, watching from the other side of the Atlantic. People losing jobs left, right and centre. Decisions made by unelected bankers, rather than democratically elected politicians. The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. It's really dreadful.Iota https://www.blogger.com/profile/08507184283437057648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300684524183031575.post-44640704868815766292010-11-29T20:16:20.340+00:002010-11-29T20:16:20.340+00:00Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :-)

Greed is an insidious and nefarious creature. I've found it hard to blog this week, in a total slump here. <br />Really need to shake myself out of it and not let it get to me.

The European Economic Community<br /><br />We, countries, were ALL much better when we were independant, with our own cultures, industries, economies.<br /><br />I too am very cross because I love Ireland and it's people and I am sorry to say the Global desease is spreading.

They should have left us all alone I think & I have never been that keen on the EU and hope our currency will never be changed. I never did trust the Euro.<br />There should be some safety net on the Banks. I don't trust them anymore. <br />I hope things improve in my lifetime but I doubt it very much.

In the U.S., even with 24/7 news channels (half of which are more "info-tainment" than anything), we hear very little of what's happening in the rest of the world.<br /><br />I'm very sorry to hear about what's going on in Ireland. I've been there only once, and loved the Irish people.
