The Little Blue Book.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() on Democracy · Election and Representation. Little Blue Books The Irish have a little blue book. It has two names Constitution of Ireland Bunreacht na hEirinn Great. It has loads of really cool stuff in it. Amendments are really hard to make. But great fun. And inside there is lots of really unused stuff too. (They could cut out all the English language bits for starters and just leave the Bunreacht). Now I´m a young man older than I was but not old enough yet to be President, and besides it is a traditionally female role. But there doesn´t seem to be any problem with having other jobs. Loads of jobs in the little blue book. Lots of stuff in there. Really On the other side of reality, last Friday Mr Stallman came to my local city where as a resident I would quite naturally have voting rights and rights to represent my neighbours. Mr Stallman has a great beard. Beards are very important. Dalí quite rightly pointed out the decline of the beard in the Western Dialectic which is the "Bolshevik Leader". Where was I? oh yeh the Irish constitution. Well it has been very flexible hasn´t it? How far do you think one would have to go before it broke? I have most recently taken to consideration of constitutions. Fine minds are writing the European constitution. There will I assure you be an online free version. The Irish constitution has been slowly eaten by lots of little worms in the filing system. But you´ll get that with old books. Some great favourite characters here have been doing their level best without enough encouragement to draw your attention to the wonderful little blue book. Don´t you think you should pay more attention before the lesson plan changes? Mr Stallman was exceedingly funny in his introduction in Barcelona, look at what he said, http://www.maths.tcd.ie/local/JUNK/Constitution/ oh last thought Then why can not I have the right to vote in the constituency of my birth, in the country of my birth, by electronic vote or postal vote, or by showing my passport in a designated diplomatic mission of the Republic of Ireland in harmony with those democratic rights held by my fellow citizens of the European Union. I asked Mr Stallman this same question. SHALOM = SALEEM = SIOCHAIN = PEACE |

I'm sure lodas of people would like to cloe their eyes and...
he's a great man to listen to.
go along 19h30 TCD.
the constitution has moved you see,
Trinity College Dublin Mathematics department no longer keep it in the "junk file".
So if you click on the last link in the tongue in cheek usual silly style piece above, you won't get to our little blue book "the constitution one".
anyway the majority of the island of Ireland is governed by this little book and it has appeared to have worked quite well.
No-one is into breaking it @ all @ all.
Rather we would seek to make full and proper use of it.
