Irish Thought for October 4...

Timeline of Ireland

1795

Foundation of the Orange Order, which commemorated William of Orange, the Dutch prince who became King of England, Scotland, and Ireland in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.  In particular, the Orange Order celebrated the victories of William III and his forces in Ireland in the early 1690s, especially the Battle of the Boyne.  Catholics were barred from becoming members.


Well, after the first presidential debate, I am starting a call to speak out! Governor Romney said that he would stop letting the government give money to PBS. Do you know what that would mean kids? No more Sesame Street. Wouldn't you miss Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and the rest of the gang? You should tell you parents how much you would miss them and that they shouldn't vote for someone who would do something like that. For any adults, wouldn't you miss Doctor Who? Everyone keeps saying that this man won the debate, but I do not agree. I thought he seemed slimy, and when he talked about axing Big Bird, I knew I was right. Even if you aren't old enough to vote, you can tell your parents what this plan would mean to you and have a voice for the future of your country.
