Ire Land

*"Whispering Hope" was music to my ears Today's fare sounds like children clashing gears When Eire becomes Ire Extinguish the fire Lest hope never soothes your grandchildren's fears! *1949 "Whispering Hope" Jo Stafford, Gordon MacRae duet

Ire is especially prevalent in the USA and Middle East, where the disparity between rich and poor is greatest, a subject still considered, "hot potatoes". Aloha! Rico
