No shit there has been nothing posted about a YES vote on the Indymedia because it is over. And the people of Ireland have voted yes. Most of the people who visit this Indymedia site are anti nice and anti government etc (just selfish bastards). And aren’t getting enough attention in there everyday life so they need to come on here to get it. Grow up. I heard somebody say that RTE were giving unfair coverage to the YES campaign. But just look at this site, all you see is NO NO NO. People who are not anti government or anti nice do not visit this site it’s not Independent. IT all ways takes the view of the odd ball. Maybe coz it’s run by odd balls. Get over it the people have voted and they voted YES ... read full story / add a comment

Read a short book 'Zen Of Global Transformation' - it's free on http://www.QuayLargo.com and you will see that the solution to world problems has been invented many times. The problem is for PEOPLE TO AGREE ON ONE! There will be NO change in the world unless people involve themselves in solving LOCAL issues. And look at how local issues effect global issues - e.g. do you own shares in plc's? If so you are contributing to Elite Domination / genocide / environmental destruction etc. It's done in the name of making you a profit, of providing you with a pension. ... read full story / add a comment

"Timing is everything when you do this. If you launched [a public campaign] too far in advance and nothing followed, that would raise questions and fuel a debate that would not be helpful to the administration...If you join the debate now, but don't act for months, you pay a worse price."

1999 Cork Sinn Fein local election candidate Michael Nugent, Sinn Fein Passage West member Sean Kind, Youghal Sinn Fein member Kieran Kiely and Walter Nagle were convicted today in the Special Criminal Court of possesing firearms (THREE LOADED HANDGUNS) in Mitchelstown last year. Is this part of Sinn Feins' support for the Gardai , army and the State? Is it part of their commitment to non-violent means? Maybe Sinn Fein could let the rest of us know is it compulsory for their membership to receive arms training. Will these four be disowned by SF like the former Ard Chamhairle member Jim Monaghan and Connolly their Cuba rep? Or just forgotten like the Limerick IRA unit in Gaol for killing Gerry McCabe? Only time will tell. You cannot have it both ways calling on us plebs to support the police and state and at the same time running around with guns. ... read full story / add a comment

Anyone there able to add any more details? ... read full story / add a comment
