The Irishman wears his lack of manners (or grace) and learning on his sleeve as a good workman would wear his watch on his breast. But the Irishman is no adept workman,he is a clart. Wolfe Tone the Pennsylvania slaveowner and Irish patriot characterised the Swede,The Dutchman as he called him, in his early writings and that Dutchman is a signature for the proper Irishman,a moron in the Englishman's and Scot's thinking.
People such as the Provos and the cardboard cutout Irishmen who appear every Saint Patrick's Day are the road to no town,players in the crowd scenes in the towns of Ireland and cities of North America.
The Irishman allows the clergyman to come out on top be he Catholic or Protestant,if he wishes to climb the social ladder. That is, if he has any sense and he usually has none.
Ireland is a progressing country and its industrial development has yielded some major economic results but precious few social gains.
Irish politics ordains that John Citizen be at the cornice of a three-cornered hat with the police felon setter sending rival informants to leech off him. Those informants or,when paid,informers leech off the subject and play silly mind games with the organism that provides them with their supplementary dole money because all dole money of that sort is itemised. The informer is motivated solely by self-enrichment like his nemesis,Karl Marx's scientific materialism. Although for our purposes,it does well to remember that Marx was a Freemason and Protestant,most of his undertakings were undertaken gratis and for no pay. The vulgar materialist,the Irish countryman,undertakes nothing unless he is paid in advance or,at latest,at the end of the week.
Whether we like it or not,we are all materialists and the church and church-going obscures that.
When the Irishman and Asian awoke from his centuries-long somnambulence,his first demand was for wages,stipends,salaries and doles. From his selfish point of view,none the worse for that fact.
