Why must we continue to compare genetics with linguistics? The
two are just so patently different, I could just whack people on
the head, it's so stupid! Ugh! >:( This is not to say that there
is no correlation between the two, but the fact that there are
Irish people in Canada who no longer speak Gaelic should give
most of us a big giant clue that the above is gaga-science. It's
telling us nothing.
