Have a good morning GeogreH
Check the gift you got in the Mudcat night before christmas,
I agree we probubly agree on much more than would come through in the single sentence jabs that happen on line. Trying to condence thrity years worth of conversations with everyone from Burnadette McCaulisky, to Sean McBride,into a few paragraphs, is not an easy task. I again repete to my fellow Republican posters, read what GeorgeH actually sais, and think of the totallity, this is an environment where missunderstandings are easy. For example, it is easy to see me as being much more hard line, as some put it, when I say I am against the treaty, as there was threat of force behind signing it, if it is ignored that I, as most others opposed to the treaty, say, we are 100% against continuation of violence while talking is possible, or more, while England is not instigating the violence.
If any Repulican has a knee jerk reaction to through bricks at the English working class, I would advise taking the collected essays of James Connolly into the corner, set your chair to face the wall, and dont come to the dinner table until you understand what that great man was saying.
It is an often stated native bit of wisdom, that we have one mouth but two ears, listen more than you talk, Brothers,
All the best, and peaceful Christmas
