Here is another reason that I like Ireland: YourCountryYourCall.com. The economy isn't doing so well over here. Yes, some people are crying in their Guinness, however, I love the government's response: Somebody give us an idea.
The competition asks you (the common man) ". . . to share your creativity to give life to new industry, revitalise or revolutionise an existing market, or even change the way we do business entirely." The goal of the program is to "pick two truly transformational proposals so big that, when implemented, could secure prosperity and jobs for Ireland."
The competition is open to anybody from any country. Two winning entries will be chosen to win 100,000 Euro each. So get those pens moving and check out the site. I just gave you a chance to win 100,000 Euro. Don't say that I've never done anything for you. Wait, that's a double negative. Say I've done something for you.
Here's another question for the peanut gallery: Do you think that the US would ever do something like this? Or do we already sponsor programs like this in the form of grants?

I thought that's why we were wasting our tax dollars on our congressional 'leaders'....I think that I too, prefer the Irish way. And they said that drinking killed brain...and they said that drinking killed...said that they did.
