Imagine a Catho...BJ, I genuinely don't get it.<br /><br />Imagine a Catholic Irish family and a Protestant Irish family meet up - by coincidence - on holiday somewhere where there are no other English speakers or Christians. Do they start firebombing each other or get on famously?<br /><br />I assume the latter, so why do they behave differently when they get home?<br /><br />What if while they are on holiday, some cataclysmic event wipes the whole of Ireland (N and S) off the map and they can't go home. Would they renew their grievances or put differences aside and get on with it?Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-90958629384213325192014-07-24T20:29:37.496+01:002014-07-24T20:29:37.496+01:00@ MW,

But then again, what could be a more deep rooted solution than sharing the Earth and it's wealth, equally. What could be more unifying than that?<br /><br />Could be just the ticket for showing all the racial/ethnic/political divisions for what it is.
