Although I usually support going green, I wonder why the Irish are so self congratulatory. A special day of drinking to excess, wearing a certain color and shouting inane slogans. Even their own boastful book, How the Irish Saved Civilization.
The Germans don't insist on their own special day, nor do the Swedes, or even the French. So how is America left with Saint Patricks day, year after year?
