To all the Welsh here,

Dydd Dewi Sant hapus!

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.  – John Adams (1814)

Why, thank you very much!!
America almost always gives recognition, especially in New York.  :) :) :) :)
 
Saint David is the Patron Saint of Wales, but I will leave it up to Wikipedia to give you the general idea.

God said to the Welsh: 'I am going to give you this glorious land of lakes and mountains.' So where's the catch, asked the Welsh? 'Wait until you see the neighbours,' replied God.

Happy Saint Davids day. The only reason I even knew what the holiday was/is, IS that It's my mothers Birthday today also, along with Scott Abfalters. (an old poster in the fan fiction forum.)
