I wonder if many Americans have taken up collections for the IRA over the past couple of weeks. For those who don't know, the IRA is the Irish Republican Army which is a terrorist organisation which bombs men, women and children who are tourists or otherwise quietly going about their business. Americans have naively financed their 'freedom fight'. I imagine that a lot of Irish Americans have developed a sudden awareness of the human cost of sectarian violence and terrorism. Perhaps not, because religious zealots seem to have their brains disconnected from reality and they might have trouble understanding the parallel with the WTC bombing [the IRA are genuine cowards - no suicide bombing for them though happily quite a few of them have blown themselves up by mistake]. I wonder if Arab Americans would get the approval of Irish Americans if they said they were sending money to Osama bin Laden to continue his freedom fight for Saudi Arabia, Palestine and fundamentalist medieval Islamic rule across the Moslem world. I wonder what the Irish Americans [like Bill Clinton] would say if approached by Arab Americans to support the cause. One person's freedom fight is another's mass murderer. Remember Omagh. It seems the USA money is at work bombing people in England just a couple of weeks before WTC. guardian.co.uk Perhaps Irish Americans would please refrain from causing more mayhem and murder by telling the next IRA collector to take a hike [and perhaps reporting them to the FBI].

Hello Jay, good you're back. I too have been reflecting on your Art. And the degree to which Life has stepped up to the plate to imitate the jesting Unreal Tournament imagery constructed on this thread. Sincere flattery. Somewhere in that Creole-Trinidadian heritage was there perhaps a woman with no small dose of The Gift? Or perhaps it is something different. Perhaps you are indeed a scholar of the Arts and have sketched for us the blocking notes of a play. Not just any play, but The Play. The one our troupe is destined to play many many many repeat performances on the global stage. Perhaps we are now engaged in Act 3 Scene 7. Which logically follows Acts 1 and 2 plus recent scenes one through six. The script for Act 8 is just over the next page. Or traced in the margin notes of those who acted here last. If we want, all we need to do is ask them. Or turn the page to see how it all comes out. In my version, the last scene is where a bunch of new actors find an ancient script and begin to act out a timeless play... A kind of Scripted Improv Audience Participation thing. So maybe Art is Life. And Life is Art. And thus the uncanny resemblance to the blocking of the last performance. That our self determination is so predictable is politically incorrect to contemplate, let alone etch on phosphor. But this thread is not shy in that regard. Perhaps it will be a smash hit in the theatres. I sense we will take our kids to see the animated version so that the terrible lessons are never lost. And they will tell their kids "You have no idea what it was like...". Correctly, of course. So that they may act in our place with a sense of destiny. In character. The greatest show on earth. John.
