The jet ski’s are one thing, but the noise coming out of Enya is far more terrifying!

David, we have the same jet-ski retards at work here in
the State of Wisconsin, USA.

As a rule, most folks seek the pleasures of nature to
escape the assaults of the noises of the Industrial Age on
their senses and sensibilities.

According to my study of Irish history, Patrick Pearse of
1916 fame recoiled at the death of the soul in
Industrialized England. One of his reasons for seeking
independence for Ireland was to preserve the non-
industrial senses and sensibilities of Ireland of his
day. Political independence was one way to do this.

I believe you poet W.B. Yeats echoes Pearse’s values
position. The roar of engines driven by retards is hardly
poetic, aesthetic, mystical, and natural, the stuff of
classic Ireland — the core of music like Enya.

The barbarians are coming — and they are riding jet skis!
Run for your Round Towers!
