I got to visit Belfast last July on my British Isles cruise.

Even though "the troubles" in NI are quiet there at the moment, you can sense that it is a powder keg just below the surface. It would not take much for someone to adapt a fuse. There's probably a team in St. Petersburg (the one in Russia) working on it.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
