Aren't the best Rugby

Aren't the best Rugby players just the guys least concerned about getting head injuries? What does that say about the Irish?

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
