The Ballymurphy legacy,now part of the heritage of more than insensitive <br />British interests. The crimes of the British will be challenged, on all levels ,in all places. The legacy of the past, is and has always been about people. The human condition,encompasses the experiences of being human in a social, cultural, and personal context.the human condition', but what is it? The Irish Human Condition is one of nature and course of human social evolution. This means a nation's mentality,this assertion in its broadest sense. Owen Paterson predispositions of one kind or another or just simple ignorance is part of the problem. People get on with the routine of life,when your alive to do it.Timothy Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03626399091447383952noreply@blogger.com
