Tying it All Together - PART 9 - posted March 17, 2011 - Saint Patrick's Day.
In the March 1996 edition of their journal, "Right of Way - for the Right of Way Professional," the International Right of Way Association published an article entitled, "Columbus Meets Saint Patrick, A Vignette of American History," written by one their members, which recounted that member's eviction of an American Indian woman from her ancestral home. The editor chose as a conspicuous sidebar this quotation from the article: "Her ancestors were witness to the transfer of land through discovery, conquest, revolution and war - polite names for theft and violence."
Which brings us full circle, to "Tying it All Together - PART 1, posted January 27, 2011.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, all,
from shaggy old Ray, and recall
something today
that YOU should have done,
(except nailing him to the wall !)
