So this means the Irish can get reparations from South America? How about Hugo? He has plenty of cash?

Dang, I thought it was caused by global warming or that it was Bush's fault.

"U.S. scientists" could have read the National Geographic article that surmises the EXACT same thing...15 yrs. ago.
Or, they could have talked to my long-dead Nan who told me about the "blight" in 1960. There were actual eye witnesses who could have saved the American taxpayer alot of money on this nonsense.

On behalf of my many Irish immigrant ancestors, I'll be demanding reparations from the Chilean authorities shortly. I'm sure Jesse Jackson will be happy to lead the charge to fight for equality for the millions of my impoverished, oppressed ancestors. Now the healing can finally begin.

This is a no-brainer, as potatoes originated in the Andes region; they are not native to Ireland.

How timely, another thread was just discussing the potato famine. BTW, one contributing factor to the high death toll was the landlords (landowning class) evicting large numbers of tenants for non-payment of rent (after their crop failed and they couldn't pay their rent). It was a scandalous practice to throw starving people out of their homes.

U.S. scientists have determined the fungus-like pathogen that caused the 1840s Irish potato famine originated in the South American Andes. OK, they know where it came from, but how did it get from the South American Andes to Ireland?
