Why Saint Patrick's Day?
Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.
So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.
In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

If one more CTU agent dies this season I'm going to SCREAM. It's enough that they took Michelle, Edgar, and Tony. (forget Lynn) Oh, yah, and Palmer's death was a shocker too.
Why can't President Logan die.

The old saying "Time heals all wounds" comes into play here.

I've never watched "24". Many on FR rave about it. There is an ongoing thread about it with about 9,000 posts on it.

You know. I feel the same way!! I was hoping to see Chloe and Edgar get together at the end of this day(season).(It looked like it might had been heading that way) I figured Lynn would buy it, though.
And-- I guess they can't kill off Logan, cause they need him to be a spineless metro, so that the VP can put the hammer down.(I am beginning to think that we are going to be VERY disappointed over the true conspiracy, in a few weeks.. )

Looking for a REAL man, not a boy!!Actually, I'm not looking at the moment. I'm not at a good point right now to get into a relationship.

I think Chloe has a crush on Jack, she would have never gotten together with Edgar, IMO.

I am sad about all the deaths, but I'm still pretty happy with the show. As long as Chloe and Jack don't die I will continue to watch.
To: Maximus_Ridiculousness
What will be your reaction if they tie the conspiracy to the government, as a ruse to get "more control" over the populace, and such??

Not sure how I would feel since the story line seems to go deeper and deeper each week. They'd have to end it on that very note for me to be angry.
To: Rca2000
Considering that Joel Surnow is a conservative, I doubt it the story would significantly go in that direction.
To: All
I'm out of here. Have to get up early tomorrow.
Nice chatting with all of you and see you on Friday.
