Allan, if I take your meaning, then it is OK for Irish Americans to wear IRA symbols, because it means something different to us than to English folks. And English folks should just get over our preoccupation with the IRA because to us it is a symbol of our heritage and these folks, to us, are freedom fighters. This is being used as an analogy and not a completely accurate representation of my views, but is my analogy flawed? If so, how?

All the best,

Mick
