This is a music venue, primarily. But we find, now and then, that more serious matters intrude. This thread is certainly one.

Generations of division and enmity, taught by fathers and mothers to sons and daughters in perpetuity, lead inexorably onward to more hatred and more strife, more of each generation doomed to succumb to the same ills that killed and maimed so many of their forebears.

At some point, not at all limited to Ireland, humans must find a way beyond the self-fulfilling prophesy of death and destruction, class or religious hatred or envy, economic or military domination and personal fear and insecurity. All peoples have gifts to bring to the table. They are better shared than hoarded.

The alternative, given the opportunities and tools for destruction now available, is unthinkable. Anyone can easily find a rationale for maintaining hatred. It takes all the more courage to overcome it.
Hopefully, music can be both a messenger and a balm in helping this along.
