    Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are, and those few dare not oppose themselves to the opinion of the many, who have the majesty of the state to defend them.

    The "stickies" were the official IRA. You should brush up on your history.

    So you're saying that terrorists were the way to go then?

    Ah yes. The ones that were connected to the Workers Party and through that to the Typhoid Mary of Irish politics Eoghan Harris. I wonder if a good game could be made in the fashion of Six Degrees of Separation? Link Eoghan Harris to any Irish political demise or disaster in six degrees or less.

    They declared a ceasefire in the early 1970s and pursued politics by attempting to unite the nationalist and unionist communities on a class basis. Not exactly terrorists. Eamonn Gilmore used to be a member I believe as was Labour MEP De Rossa (I won't attempt spelling his first name)

    Well I'm not in the workers party so I couldn't explain their demise in detail. There is a guy called Podolski on here who is a member so you'd have to converse with him about Eoghan Harris.
