Saint Patrick was just a missionary. He
probably did little to improve the lives of the Irish and instead came to the
island to fill people up with mysticism. He never drove out the snakes because
there never were any to begin with.
Many of us celebrate this day because
we are all or part Irish. Some of us support Irish nationalism and the Irish
cause, with the symbol of the Starry Plough.
For many people this holiday is just an
excuse to get drunk. Maybe that is OK too. Don't forget to drink an Irish Car
Bomb, an Irish Stout or (yuck) green beer. -SJ Otto

Baileys and Jameson Irish Whiskey to a shot glass.
