Thread Name: The Massacre of Glencoe—Favorite Version
Subject: RE: The Massacre of Glencoe—Favorite Version
being a direct lineal descendant of the youngest son of the last gaelic laird of glencoe(by gaidhlig law) i say stop singing that limp wristed and mournfull piece of crap. at least untill they give us out land back.

sing a proper rebel song, or at least give an introductory talk about aborigional land rights and the injustice of british/americam genocidal imperial warfare.

thqat song is contining the romantic crap from the nineteenth century about the noble savages. being in this case the gaels.(by the way we didn't call ourselves highlanders).

we are the nova scotia branch. i am from a cadet line. my grandfather was the youngest son by a secong wife of the direct line, one of whom became lieutennent of nova scotia. his achieving the viceregal status was viewed by him and many others as an historic avenging of the injustice of the dispossion of the gaelic clans. and he gave many lovely speaches in gaeic.

its an awfull song for the soft headed sentimentalists--SING A REBEL SONG
