So we really are fucked, eh? I know more about American politics than Irish, but you'd hear mixed reports all over the gaf.
What's going to be getting worse? I know it's a naive way of looking at things but the view from the ground seems to be okay. A bad recession with high unemployment, yeah, but I know plenty of people in jobs and the disposition seems as cheery as ever. I'm never getting a job, are my . |

We always find a way though, look at us at the start of the 90's compared to the end. It's surreal how cyclic these things can be. Overoptimistic, I know.

The same people who rally GAA communities to protest headshops, bearing in mind Diageo is entertwined with the GAA and Guiness actually improves your hurling ability. The tagline is even 'guiness is good for you' for fuck sake. It's like priest, pints and a healthy sense of closeted racism is the aul Irish way. But it's still a great place because the good folk have this whimsical 'ah sure fuck it' view about it. At this stage Bertie 'I don't know where it's all gone, lads, I had it a second ago' Ahern looks like one of the best things to ever happen to the country. It's that messed up. |

But nah, you should read or watch some of the stuff about the New World Order. Very enlightening. Our democratic rights are being minimalized slowly but surely. |

I'm on the Chomsky end of the scale, taking David Icke to be the highest point of nuttyness. Because we were 'better informed' this time, apparently. This was our 'informed' vote. Not the first one. Sure we all stumbled into the polling stations blindfolded the first time, knocking over ballot boxes. Thank god Europe stepped in and showed us the light. |

We're following suit. The states started it so we followed. It would have been the same thing if any party had been in charge. New World Order baby.

Yeah, I'm with you here, but unfortunately it's very hard to shake people out of it when we're holding on like this.

Speaking of that, Brian Cowens reason for us voting Yes to the Lisbon treaty was, "we're a small nation, Europe don't need us but we need them" I heard a guy on the radio yesterday say he met Brian Cowen and asked him If we're such a small insignificant nation as you say how is it that our politicians are one of the highest paid in the world, he had no answer.

Exactly. Who the ***** does Alastair Darling think he is, committing this country's money to shore up the *****ing Euro? - let them clean up their own mess with their own money.
