Almost creates a physical barrier albeit subtle, which adhers to one, producing a breeding ground for negativity and hostility. Anyone who can't feel it.......well wouldn't understand it either way. This may explain the "feeling" of dislocation that respondents articulated. The pleasures of living in Dublin. <br /><br />Apart from that GM flip the coin over and what have you got? Oh yes, the elite and the collusionary masses. Effectively the powers that be - in Ireland and the Western World - have engineered an environment whereby people equal production units. If they happen to belong to a certain class, no matter race or creed, then they are a willing part of the consuming masses, if not, then they are the underclasses. This ultimately corrodes society until all that's left is a culture which has all the consistency of treacle. The process may appear supine but it's ultimately dangerous.

The present Labour party adopted the red rose of the English Labour party as well as their Blairite polices. The result being that if the polls are correct Sinn Fein are the second party at the moment.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-76569929994484830352011-10-07T10:53:28.301+01:002011-10-07T10:53:28.301+01:00Yes GM, quite amazing that our government would do...Yes GM, quite amazing that our government would do this, I mean you only have to look at its long history and trad....
