My Tribal Roots?

"...This Irish surname of MIMNAGH is the Anglicized form of the Gaelic O'MUIMHNEACHAIN, and is occasionally used as a synomyn of the names MINNOGUE, MINNAGH and MOYNIHAN.

There was a sept of some importance of the Hy Fiachrach called O'MIONACHAIN, dating back to the year 1220. The name means 'a Munsterman'.

The earliest of the name on record appears to be The Bishop of Leighlin who died in 1050, Clerichen O'MUINEOC, who was described in the Annals of Loch Ce as 'tower of the piety of Erin'. Ireland is one of the earliest sources of the development of patronymic names in northern Europe..." (as found on http://www.4crests.com/mimnagh-coat-of-arms.html)

Will have to look deeper into this...stay tuned for updates...

America, The Slacker...

After watching results of our annual elections trickle in...I am not so proud to say that this "record setting lack of voter turn out (Monroe County, NY as reported on WHAM 1180 AM radio)..." confirms that we as citizens of this Republic have become bloated, lazy and arrogant to our future.

Just as hogs in the barnyard, we will do nothing but wallow in it and complain about it until we are fed something we dont barf up or shart out...

People are dying all over the world just for the opportunity to cast their ballot, their opinion in a prescribed time and manner that reflects the uniqeness and individuality of the person.

Groups of religions have made it their goal to squash these folks. That these humble people do not matter and all that matters is the will of the mass.

We as a country do not honor our brothers and sisters dying around the world by refusing to show up to vote.

Worse yet, we do not honor them, our soldiers or this country when we stay on the sidelines and are content to ride the JV bench of politics.

...after all..."They are all crooked, what difference am I going to make?"

C'mon folks...get your heads out of your but and protect your perhaps last liberty by voting each time everytime your duty calls you to vote.

Your voice is diminishing now, soon it will be silent.
