Looking back on this year and your work, you have come so far ,or we all have made a journey. Go maire tú an lá! and Codladh sámh. Been reading more on Roger Casement found a statement by the Prophet of Paradox, George Bernard Shaw on the case. in 1916-<br /> in|which he said :—<br />No wise man now uses the word Traitor at<br />all. He who fights for the independence of his<br />country may be an ignorant and disastrous fool;<br />| but he is not a traitor and will never be regarded<br />i \as one by his fellow-countrymen. All the slain<br />men and women of the Sinn Fein Volunteers<br />fought and died for their country as sincerely<br />as any soldier in Flanders has fought or died<br />for his. Their contempt for pro-British<br />Pacificists, like myself, was as fiercely genuine<br />as the contempt of our conscriptionists and<br />military authorities for Mr. Clifford Allen. Treason is, after all, merely a technical term<br />which bears the same relation to politics that<br />heresy does to religion, and if the heresy of to-<br />day be sometimes only the truth of the morrow,<br />so perchance may the treason of to-day be the<br />patriotism of to-morrow; though all human<br />organisations, whether Churches or States, are<br />bound to victimise those born out of due time.<br />But deep down in his mind there seems to<br />have been a thought which, given other conditions^—peace instead of war.Timothy Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626399091447383952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-40886601265195467502010-12-25T01:24:12.639+00:002010-12-25T01:24:12.639+00:00The Season's Grettings to you & sucess in ...The Season's Grettings to you & sucess in the year ahead :)A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.com
