Subject: RE: BS: Marching Orangemen
I swore I would not get sucked in to this. because if you don't live there every day you can't get it! these lovely people(orangemen and RUC) burned my house to the ground in1957 because my father(a prody) was married to an Irish Catholic. they told him to get out of the area he said no. so all of your nice thoughts don't mean much to a little kid watching his mother get pushed around and grouped by these lovely people. Hate you bet and no matter how hard I try to forgive I can not. My father, God rest him, served in the 42nd in wwII. made no difference to them. you have to feel it from the bottom to understand. ah never mind.........
