Any Irish Out There?

"When the potatoes ran out, millions of Irish men, women and children packed their bags got on a boat and showed up right here. And we're still doing it. We're not even starving anymore, loads of potatoes. In fact if there's any Irish out there, I've breaking news from Dublin, the potato famine is over you can come home now. But why are we still showing up? Because we love the idea of America."  -Bono (Wikiquote)

If all the Irish people here were still there or if many returned there would most likely be a new potato shortage. Spuds per capita is a delicate balance not to be taken lightly.
