A Golden Opportunity for Great Britain: Help Ireland Develop Wind Power, Recycling, Environmental Protection Technologies

Queen Elizabeth II's courageous visit to Ireland this week has presented Great Britain with a golden opportunity to convert the Irish into lasting and true friends of the British.

Great Britain can do that in part by offering technical assistance and loans on behalf of the development of wind power technology and other renewable-energy technology throughout Ireland.

The financial savings that Irish homeowners and Irish business owners and the Irish government will incur from installation of successful renewable-energy technology throughout Ireland, will put a delighted twinkle in the eyes of all the Irish people.

That delighted twinkle and accompanying heartfelt expression of gratitude from the Irish will help to put an end to the unflattering reputation for violent volatility and nasty abrasiveness that has long plagued the Irish.

For too long, people throughout the world have referred to the "Land of Eire" as, instead, the "Land of Ire"----a European nation where vehement eruptions of viciousness from the citizenry were dismayingly frequent. (Even the Irish professions of national affability, as exemplified by the seemingly convivial jig, were regarded by many as parenthetical to the prevailing militance and misanthropy that marred the Irish record. "It seems that the Irish people, when actually sober, are more likely to be throwing hand grenades at their cited enemies than exhibiting true and sincere affability toward other human beings!", concluded many observers of Ireland.)

Great Britain can also "convert" the Irish into true and lasting friends of the British people by providing technical assistance to Ireland on behalf of installing recycling technology and recycling services, as well as improved environmental protection technology and services, throughout that republic.

Someday, perhaps in the year 2015, a future President of Ireland will be publicly declaring in a televised address directed at British as well as Irish audiences: "When I refer today to the good luck of us Irish, I'm often referring to how very, very fortunate we Irish are to have such very fine and peace-loving and generous neighbors as the British! With help from the very benevolent British assistance we've received, we Irish have achieved many urgently-needed improvements in our country that have greatly enhanced our standard of living throughout all of Ireland!

"I am convinced, in fact, that the finest and most powerfully benevolent and truest Leprauchans in the entire cultural history of Ireland have been in the form of very human and generous 21st Century visitors here who represent our best friend in the entire world---those very fine British people of today!"
