I think there's a yearning there, for justice and for a role to play, for a part.<br /><br />How wonderful it would be to have a real spirit of unity come to life amongst all of the people in Ireland. Then the beautiful vision of Wolfe Tone would come into being and I think it would also be a great tonic for the terrible kinds of suffering that people have to endure through incongruence. I hope so anyway.Michealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310793974335095318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-60817226295459913542009-06-30T22:59:20.358+01:002009-06-30T22:59:20.358+01:00Gerry,

So maybe my coming home to Belfast will bring great things to Antrim. Let's hope.<br /><br />Glad it made your day ...made mine reading it. Well done Antrim and now "Settle down Mister"<br /><br />Ta ar la anois <br /><br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298431689847348822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-15021791188740198182009-06-30T21:37:08.240+01:002009-06-30T21:37:08.240+01:00Gerry did you see this article today?

So...Hi Gerry, Never knew you were a big sports fan. Sometimes that long wait between championships is well worth it when it happens. Last weekend I was in South Bend for a Notre Dame wedding and happened to walk into a bar with all cub fans, they wanted to throw me out when I asked on purpose what the Phillies score was. Poor cubs haven"t won in over 50 years. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I think only the cleverest, physically fitter teams can win. <br /><br />Had a good time in Dublin recently. I had no idea that Irish history was so fractious.<br /><br /> We were'nt taught Irish history when I was a boy because of "the troubles". We were effectively dispossessed of our identity by free-statism and its inherent fear, a phenomena which amplified the destructiveness of british imperialism on the Irish nation and one for which we cannot blame the british. <br /><br />I bought some good books in the Sinn fein shop to be getting on with and the rebel tour of Dublin was excellent. <br /><br />So I'm getting some compensation now through Sinn Fein for the deprivation of my youth.<br /><br />I think the Unite Ireland project should be opened up to the greatest number of people possible. The problem is, that people have their own desires that they want to fullfill and those desires take precedence over community based projects.Michealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310793974335095318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004730508631468243.post-539659688421286092009-06-29T14:21:22.025+01:002009-06-29T14:21:22.025+01:00Gerry, I'm so glad you got the chance to enjoy...Gerry, I'm so glad you got the chance to enjoy your game before the conference. What a nice way to start the day!<br /><br />Though I'm not a sports enthusiast, I truly enjoy reading your accounts of the games you've watched. Your love for the game comes through in every sentence, much more so than in the writing of professional sports writers.Linda Colemannoreply@blogger.com
