Not surprising, since 'Bigot' was the code word for anyone who had seen 
the plans.

Ok, how far off can get go from the TOPIC of this listserve, which has 
NOTHING TO DO WITH Ireland, northern Ireland, the Queen, Canada, Iraq, 
al-Qaeda, or even the US foreign policy

Please take all this other conversation to some other listserve... perhaps 
alt.nationalistic.racists.worldwide, or somwhere else, but none of this has 
anything to do with Powerbooks.

thx,
Dave

Re: Yank arrogance, (was) RE: torx in u.k.

2003-02-10 Thread Roger Adams
Actually, the Scots came to Ireland in the reign of Elizabeth I, some 
several-odd years before Cromwell.  It was referred to as the Scottish 
Settlement of Ulster when Elizabeth gave land to Scottish settlers at 
the expense of the local inhabitants in order to take control of the 
rebellious province.  Just for the record, of course.

Cheers

Roger

He's got a fair point. A system that allows any fool the opportunity to 
become president virtually guarantees that eventually one will.
