Don’t believe the blarney

Let me add that while the NINA sign is largely a self-pitying false memory, the nineteenth-century Irish in America were a wildly dysfunctional underclass, and your larger point about their leaders’ largely pulling them out of the mire of alcoholism, prostitution, child neglect, and other vivid social pathologies is absolutely correct.

Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu.
