I was thinking of Ireland when I decided upon that title. I talk a lot with family there, and they are still velebrating the 100 year anniversary (it went on longer, of course, than the 1916 events). My younger son got one of the older paper notes signed by my grandfather's cousin, who was the second treasurer of the Free State. My son hadn't realized that our relative was in a cell next to Mick during the struggle.

The advantage that we have here today is that we have the ability to get rid of this administration by peaceful means.
