Let me pose a littly hypo to you.
Assume you're walking down the street and some guy comes up to you and
says 'I am starting a program to fund the production of a DEI musical in
Ireland. It costs $70,000. Would you care to donate to our cause"?
Answer honestly, would you donate even one red cent?
If you have one shred of honesty you would answer 'no.' And why would
that be? Is it because it doesn't benefit you? Maybe you think it's a
waste of your hard earned money? Something else?
So, why do you think it's okay for your government to make that decision
for you?
