[Celtic Party] "Ay, sir; to be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand."

January 11, 2011   "Ay, sir; to be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand." By William Finnerty   Great, REALLY GREAT, but ...    :::::::   While I (as always) feel extremely grateful to all those who take to the streets in peaceful and lawful ways, to protest against major outbreaks of government and corporate wrongdoing, my fear is that such protests will never (by themselves) be enough to remedy the basic set of problems involved: having due regard for the kind of people who are doing (and the many others who in one way or another are supporting!!) the wrongdoing in this particular case, and in many others like it all around the world.   I can very easily understand the viewpoint that "weak governance" is playing a major role.   However, there is also the alternative perception that, from the viewpoint of the wrongdoers, that it is "strong governance" (albeit of the completely wrong kind as far as I'm concerned) that is, on an ongoing basis, winning all (or almost all) the important battles for the tyrannous despots, plutocrats, and kleptocrats (etcetera) who are indulging themselves with impunity in the extremely serious, but exceptionally well and deceitfully hidden, criminal activities concerned.   Unless the starting place of the well-hidden and devious power-source which drives and sustains such "strong governance" can be honestly sought out, faced up to -- by sufficiently large numbers of honest people -- and successfully tackled by the use of the FULL range of all peaceful and lawful means available to them, I have difficulty in seeing how there can ever be a happy ending for humanity generally (i.e. humanity as a whole)?   Then, and to add to the already large set of obvious difficulties involved, there's still the less-obvious and awful -- and perhaps impossible to remedy snag (for humanity generally)? -- which Shakespeare's Hamlet pointed out well over 400 years ago:    "Ay, sir; to be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand."   Related link (before being censored): http://www.indymedia.ie/article/98585#comment276652   < BACKUP COPY >   The above text has been copied from the following Indymedia (Ireland) www location (before it was censored): http://www.indymedia.ie/article/98599#comment276707   < BACKUP COPY >     The above text is also on view at the following OPEN NEWS location:  http://www.opednews.com/Diary/Ay-sir-to-be-honest-as-by-William-Finnerty-110111-898.html =============================   Human Rights Ireland http://www.humanrightsireland.com   =============================
