I suppose we are mentors while they are kids.They depend on you completly.But once they start sussing out this whole life thing, we can only be friends.We are all fairly equal in our ignorance, so once they see you dont know everything......... Though i myself only have a nephew to go by
Can you do that? i mean fair play if you can. Ireland is the suposed neutral country.I cant remember hearing of Americain neutrality pre 9/11. On St. Patricks day just before the invasion, out taoisacht gave a nervous speach to bush, saying that without U.N. backing, ireland could not offer support.Then low and behold, once it kicked off, he does a total u turn.That was done for Bushe s cronies, not for a new iraq, not for the irish and americain peoples wishes.Either fear of economic exile or a nice fat brown envelope. Whatever they can get away with, they will get away with while the rest of us divide, speculate, argue about things we, at present, have no controll over.
