i actually cant believe these days that this country is still viewed that way.That's a bit sad actually.We haven't had problems in a long time.It was terrible here when I was growing up,dont get me wrong,i am in my mid-thirties and I remember it when it was at it's worst but the situation has changed so much now.
I actually didn't like Towsend as Lestat at all.He didn't manage the swagger that i always picture Lestat to have.he just seemed too..well...he seemed like a bit of a big wimp really!lol!

I think that yes there is some apprehension that the situation could change on a dime there. I studied the history of The Uprising, etc and the Irish political situation was always a big part of our discussions when growing up, in spite of the fact that I've lived in the States my whole life. However, I remember it being MUCH worse than now. Now it seems to be definitely heading in the right direction and I hope things will stay that way.

Have you seen Rice lately? My goodness! Age has caught up to her.
