Very special & very short edition this one, if you're reading this in Ireland or are one of the Irish Diasporia - Congratulations! You are now one of the Establishment, in the period from the 23rd of May to the 2nd of June all the Irish people joined ranks & played their part to be the Regime. We are all Brainy.

I went to see this move yesterday expecting a special effects laden epic and disgusting American jingoism and was violently slapped in the face and kicked in the guts for my complacency. Instead I experienced a film such raw realism showing the utterly horrifying depravity of the hijackers such as Siad Jarrah, their utter contempt for human life especially the passengers of United 93 and their revolting sociopathic Islamic fundementalism.

Is a cosy consensus the same thing as the rule of law? How are politicians or judges prevented from mucking about with the law, introducing bad law, administering the law in a partial or unfair way? Does the system require more checks and balances? Is obscurity and obfuscation the order of the day? Are we taking the modh direach to a lawless and capricious Alice-In-Wonderland world? ... read full story / add a comment

The call for somebodys head to fall has always been the response of people to a national concern which seems to provide us with the satisfaction that we have rid ourselves of the cancer that caused the problem in the first place. Is it time as a nation we grew up and realised that we as the electorate are the ones responsible for the problems in society we see today? ... read full story / add a comment |
