The Irish can not be so ignorant that they can't see all the benefits the EU has brought them. They also better stop listening to those so-called &quot;Euro skeptics&quot; in Britain - a country which has never treated the Irish with much respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The British Euro Skeptics actually are very much like the old time British Imperialists.  They are ultra conservative, nationalistic and believe Britain is superior to all nations. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francis A. Boyle, a law professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, wrote a report commissioned by the New York-based Irish Famine/Genocide Committee which concluded that &quot;Clearly, during the years 1845 to 1850, the British government pursued a policy of mass starvation in Ireland with intent to destroy in substantial part the national, ethnic and racial group commonly known as the Irish People. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EU membership for Ireland is not only a guarantee that this will never happen again, but it is also a source for long term economic prosperity.  Voting yes on Thursday also means voting yes for an independent and strong Ireland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eu-digest.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;For the complete report click on this link&lt;/a&gt;
