Is there any historical truth in this view on Irish potato famine?

Yes that's exactly what happened. The English stole the Irish people's food at gunpoint so the Irish would starve. If that isn't genocide i don't what is. The only difference between the Holocaust and the famine was that the Nazis built concentration camps, whereas the British turned the whole of Ireland into one big one.

What is wrong with these tomatoes?

I grow tomatoes and it always happens, yellow or dead leaves near the bottom. Cut the off and don't worry about it. As the plants age more and more of the leaves and limbs will have the same problem, trim them off. This causes no ill effect as far as fruit production. It is the nature of the plant. You can expect the fruit to get smaller as the plant ages so have a new plant ready to replace the old. No spray or treatment will help.

What was 1985 Los Angeles like?

I'm just wondering what these times were like. The 80's seemed like a fine time for music and generally just culture. What was residency in Los Angeles, California like? It looks pretty fantastic from what I see. Was there a lot of hope for the community? I think guitar, dancing, and performing arts were very popular and in the norm back then.
