					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve watched the entire 7-part series of videos that blert linked.  They are utterly fascinating.

Here is Part 1, to get you started.  You can pick up the other links from there.

Part 7 is marred a bit by global warming propaganda, but the real takeaway message is that we can adapt to a constantly changing climate.  People lived through actual global warming 8-10,000 years ago, and nobody would argue that it was man-made.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The answer for me as a non-Irish/non-Scotsman (I love both whiskeys) has to do with the bagpipe bands.  I love massed bagpipes!  This year&#039;s parade in NYC included a bagpipe band from Brittany.  Great!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As my Irish roots were Scots-Irish, I occasionally wore orange on St. Patrick&#039;s Day, and didn&#039;t get a lot of flack for it.  Probably because there are an awful lot  people of Scots-Irish  descent in  the US. What the hell, we&#039;re all Celtic. 

 A Jewish guy at my high school wore both green and orange on St. Paddy&#039;s day, so he had both bases covered.

Several couples I knew  went back to  Ireland to see the  auld sod.  All got good receptions. One introduced herself to her relatives by saying, “Father John is my uncle.” And the party began. Another, a very prim and proper soul, was relating what the local youth did to the Blarney Stone. Although she couldn’t state it directly, she was able to communicate in as proper a manner as possible that the local youth peed on the Blarney Stone. Tourists, remember that!

The Celts- Irish and Scottish-  have a tendency for drink and story telling. My uncle, whose father came from Ireland,  did a lot of both. But as he died  last fall at 88, the drink didn’t do him in.  

In honor of my uncle, here are Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers singing &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfJuGiDsoVA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Finnegan’s  Wake.&lt;/a&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ancient Basque culture must surely be responsible for cave art and is the only logical source for Solutrean culture.

There is ever increasing evidence that Ancient Basques/ Solutreans made it to the Americas thousands of years before the Asiatics.

DNA has also established that the American Indians hail from Central Asia -- not the Orient. 

Apparently they simply followed the elk as the ice melted. 

Tribal DNA in  the New World shows that European mutations are astonishingly common in some tribes.

And there are muted tales of race wars in the Americas.

Thor Heyerdahl&#039;s &#039;crazy&#039; assertions are looking ever more solid. ( He believed that Whites/ Solutreans lost a race war in the Andes in almost modern times and fled to the Pacific Islands. Such a notion is supported by Polynesian &#039;myths&#039; and practices. Particularly the weird desire to whiten up brides by confining them to a cave  [ it&#039;s been found -- loaded with evidence of such use ] so that they&#039;d be white enough to marry into the upper caste.)

That&#039;s a VERY odd tick to pick-up without meeting European bloods.

The upshot is that in the fulness of time, the ancient Basques were the original diaspora, forever moving. 

This last tick was explicitly noted by the Romans when they entered Britain.

It also explains the Royal desire for English/Norman kings to hang onto French lands -- which can now be understood as the original stomping grounds of the Irish, Scots, Welsh, English and Basque.
