Tosú ar rud a dhéanamh

       Tosú ar rud a dhéanamh, or roughly to begin.  I wonder how many people can actually read those words.  I can't, and I don't pretend to know the language, but I do contend to know the people.  You should ask; who are they, where are they from, are they different, are they dangerous?  Here's a hint, they were known as the black whites and infidels in Europe, and "crackers" in Colonial America.  They have also been know to commit acts of terrorism, treason, illegal immigration, and are responsible for the outsourcing of thousands jobs through globalization.
     The language is Galiec, the people are Irish. 
     I could have been talking about any group, creed, or religion.  Throughout human history there is a single guiding principle to people, to be human.  It doesn't matter where you're from, what you believe, or what you look like, we are all human.  "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"  Shakespeare's character Hamlet grapples with the concept as he contemplates to Horatio on the bones of Alexander the Great looking no different in the earth than those of anyone else.
