It was said that prohibition was an Irish potato famine revolution or the election of another Kennedy because Joe went outside and left a few condoms to feel like a King.  But, there were several Irish politicians before prohibition and after the Kennedy elections.  In fact, some people think November 22nd, 1963 was also a potato famine revolution.  The revolution happens when people who were conceived during the passage to the new world were told not to be too happy in the beautiful plains of North America.  They were given good eduction but if they felt too happy or too free, their grandparents or great grand parents would seek to remind them of what they suffered to get to a happy cul -de- sac blue print and that they should never forget what their ancestors suffered.  This causes a lot of cross generational anger but also cohesion when someone decides that everybody in the whole entire population is getting away from that sense of collective famine pain and the consumption of aborted children during the Atlantic passage just to stay alive or something like that.  It's really sort of scary and has nothing to do really with beautiful Ireland or any place where they have lots of churches, happy people and beautiful cold water beaches for fishing sometimes.  It could be time to be really thankful maybe.
