People in the US of Irish descent have some compulsion to return to the 
'Auld Sod'. After a friend returned I asked him how it was. 'Green! It 
should be green. It rains all the fucking time!'

I can only speculate why my people left Germany. There was no family lore 
about the old country and no one had an interest in returning. That's not 
to say they weren't proud of their ethnicity.
