Pops you should talk to your little bird more
Kerry is not a practicing Catholic to begin with and his wife I believe is from an Orthodox Chirstian. To try and equate him to Kennedy is observe. The pope and the church didnt give him credit because his life is contrary to most of their teachings.
Kennedy gave great speeches, then ran around on his wife with every fluzy that was around. Kennedy was good at coming up Peace corps but a poor tactition...the Bay of Pigs warranted a full scale invasion...not just support of an oppositions. He did get the nuke construction halted which was the end goal I suppose. He and Cruzchev nearly went to nuclear war and back. There is a lot of speculation as to who really killed him. It would be interesting to know who really did?
Okay pops now to your inability to hear the truth. I can take you to the boys grave in Coal Island. It wasnt the British rifle that did him in....you will remember that tanks are more heavily armed. The soldier did him in after he was wounded. If you really travel Ireland and not just the ports you would understand that there are regions still in conflict. In the past few years a lot of the British troop strength and listening posts have been taken down. That has helped tremendously and life is slowly turning around. Belfast has a face lift and Dublin's computer industry and loans from the EU to builld new trains and the like have infused the Irish economy. Right now they have the youngest working population is western Europe. Still most of the progression is in the Republic and the north is still trapped in a bipolar state. The IRA gunmen are now on social welfare and are basically drinking their paychecks waiting for the old ways to return or someone to offer them a job. Okay who wants to higher an alcoholic hitman? Not a whole lot of people. But the bright spot is that the old guard is in control and the young ones respect them. The Blanket men of the sixties are guiding the north into self rule with the help of Blair. Cooperation with the orangemen is still at an impasse though...they stand to lose power gained through centuries of repression. I think most of the norths problems are from a lack of jobs and therefore a lack of hope. Things escalated around the turn of the century because Belfasts textile mills and shipping industry was slowing down. The Catholics lost what few jobs there were...then steps in the IRA. With the prospects of jobs there may yet be hope for Ireland, yet if the industry pulls out and goes for cheaper labor forces in India then they are doomed to repeat their cycle.
Peat is used still on the West coast..but not as a primary heat source....the old farmer who doesnt have too much may resort to finding peat to heat his home...but most people are leaving the west coast and running for Dublin jobs. Dublin has gone from a town of 3000 to a town of 200 000 in a decade. Most of the peat is see is made into trinkets for the tourists....harps, crosses, busts of saints
