Well Trevor, and thanks to Cara for the realization this is taking too long to load...
Can we at least agree that our friend Crying Child has a view of South African history that you and I would find to be off the mark?
One of the classes I found truely remarkable in law school was a class in South African law. The degree to which that state legislated racialism is beyond my comprehension as the work of modern minds. It was a regime which existed borne up on ignorence and greed.
As to your observation about placing Provos in place of humans, have you known many IRA volunteers, read their life storries? I would ask that you take a moment to read about the life of Bobby Sands MP. Ask yourself what your responce to that degree of victemization.
I have to run, time for a rehersal.
All the best old and new friends, and speak to you soon.
Larry
