Yeats and David Norris… The documentary ends with discussion regarding the Seanad Reform Bill 2013 which could by Christmas help get people more democratically involved.

Screen Shot 2013-10-01 at 01.22.15Meet Gambian President Yahya Jammeh, who last Friday in a speech to the United Nations General Assembly said the following:

The biggest threats to human existence are basically three and are a consequence of human behaviour which are ungodly attributes. These are:
1.Excessive greed, and; therefore addiction to gather
material wealth by any means necessary mostly through
violent or immoral schemes;
2. Obsession with world domination by any means including the resolve to use nuclear, biological and chemical
weapons to achieve this fanciful dream;
3. Homosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which
though very evil, antihuman as well as anti-Allah; is being
promoted as a human right by some powers

All these three have nothing to do with climate change and are more deadly than all natural disasters put together.

..we know for a fact that all living things need
to reproduce for posterity. They become extinct when they can no longer reproduce. Therefore, you will all agree with me that any person promoting the end of human reproduction must be promoting human extinction. Could this be called promoting human rights when you advocate for a definitive end to human reproduction and procreation? Those who promote homosexuality want to put an end to human existence, it is becoming an epidemic and we Muslims and Africans will fight to end this behaviour. We want a brighter future for humanity
and the continuous existence of humanity on this planet
therefore we will never tolerate any agenda that clearly calls for human extinction.

Writing about this in @irishexaminer – war erupts as @CorkRebelWeek describes Michael Collins a langer #Cork

 

Collins did sell us out, in fairness.

Any excuse

Support for the Labour Party has fallen to its lowest level in more than a quarter of a century, according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI opinion poll. The backing of voters for the junior Coalition party has fallen to 6 per cent, a three-point decrease since the last Irish Times opinion poll in June. It represents the lowest percentage of support for Labour since November 1987.

Satisfaction levels for Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore continue the downward trend of the past two years. Some 15 per cent of respondents said they are satisfied with the Labour Party leader, while 65 per cent expressed dissatisfaction. This puts Mr Gilmore well behind the other main party leaders.
