God gave the Irish whiskey so that they wouldn't take over the world (3)

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day (for those of you who do not know a lot about Saint Patrick, I would encourage you to click on this link). I do feel it is my duty as someone who has Irish ancestors to educate others about my own heritage. While there a many individuals (Irish & non-Irish) who understand and appreciate the life and legacy of Patrick, too many others take this holy man and feast day for granted. In fact, racial & ethnic groups throughout the world (especially college students) have decided to equate this HOLIDAY with consuming a substantial amount of alcohol. In doing so, this feast day loses its ultimate meaning and becomes a shameful display that it was never intended to be.
