"Millstone family makes Irish eyes smile" - Examiner, 7/12/07
"There are wars in Ireland about religion, and I hope Peadar learns how different religions can get along," Tighe Blazier Jr., 12, said.

Peadar did show them a picture on his MySpace page of two men who were on a hunger strike and were being put in jail.

Peadar, a Catholic, said they were going to jail "because they were Catholic."
A twelve-year-old's perspective, of course.

Can Americans teach the Irish how to get along? Maybe we aren't as deadly in our dealings as we used to be, but I can't imagine a kid from the thick of it can learn anything from us ivory towers.
