I first learned about Coyne's article through a Derbyshire posting on NRO's The Corner. I like to think of myself as a freethinker, but I find myself agreeing with just about everything Derbyshire writes on anything to frightening degree, except higher mathematics, in which case I must plead ignorance. I may be Irish-Canadian, but I'm no J.L. Synge.

I'm also a fan, even though he is a Brit :-)

The British tradition of conservatism is far more skeptical than the American.

"I may be Irish-Canadian"

And just what part of Ireland belongs to Canada? Oops! Sorry, wrong direction. Which part of Canada is owned by Ireland?

If I'm 1/4 Scottish-Canadian, am I supposed to hate or like Irish Canucks?
