The point that all you can do is stamp your feet and shout at MPS. "My Government" has yet to do anything that I condone. I have yet to see a politician do anything that I've asked. My opinion as an individual is completely insignificant as far as politicians are concerned.

The problem is that ordinary people can't actually DO anything. The bastards never listen. And then to have ordinary people think that blowing each other sky high will solve "complicated political issues" is just plain bloody daft. You think I should get off my arse and be an Activist in order to de-comission the military, surely that's exactly what I'm doing? God, I've got more productive things to do with my time, but this issue is important to me, so I'll sit here and swear my little lungs off at anyone who trys to tell me that "might is right".

That point.

Oh yes, Casement was murdered by firing squad. The Government just gave the instruction. Nobody HAD to pull the trigger. Sure, the consequences of dis-obeying an officer were (and probably are) severe, but everyone's got a choice. Casement's Death is deplorable, as is the case of anybody who is deliberately killed. He should have gone to prison for a very long time, but there we go. Certainly no Martyr though. He was in it for the money, by all acounts.

I guess it was inevitable that this would upset somebody.

Oh well, Sorry, but it's just how I feel about it.
