GREAT SHAME

THE TITLE OF A BOOK ABOUT IRELAND DEFINES THE BEHAVIOR OF GREAT BRITAIN AS EMPIRE - A GREAT SHAME. IRELAND'S QUEST FOR SELF-RULE HAS BEEN BLOODY AND USELESS. REPRESSION AND PERSECUTION HAVE BEEN ROUTINE. CREDIT GREAT BRITAIN. GERRY ADAMS, SINN FEIN AND THE IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY, REPRESENTING CATHOLICS, IN PROTESTANT ULSTER JUST CUT A DEAL WITH THE BRITISH UNIONISTS REPRESENTED BY THE PROTESTANT IAN PAISLEY FOR JOINT POWER IN THE NAME OF PEACE. DO NOT CREDIT GREAT BRITAIN’S LACK OF EGO. HER GREAT, SHAMEFUL EGO HAS ACCOMPANIED HER EMPIRE THROUGHOUT HISTORY. THE BIG 'E' FITTINGLY BEGINS BOTH WORDS.

IF EGO ENTERS THE EQUATION OF CONQUEST AND COLONIZATION BEYOND THE HOMELAND, EMPIRE IS SURE TO FOLLOW. SUCH A MENTALITY INSPIRED THE GREAT BRITAIN TO JUSTIFY ITS MANDATE AS A PROTECTORATE AND EDUCATOR OF THE LESS ENLIGHTENED PEOPLES. THINK INDIA. THINK AFRICA. THINK SCOTLAND. THINK IRELAND. DEATH AND REPRESSION BACKED STEADFASTNESS OF PURPOSE.

THINK ABOUT AMERICA'S SHAMEFUL TREATMENT OF THE INDIANS AND BLACKS UNTIL SHAME RECOGNIZED ITSELF IN THE MIRROR AND ACKNOWLEDGED ITS SMUDGES UPON THE SOUL. OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM IS ALSO SHAMEFUL. IT PRIDES ITSELF ON BEING ABLE TO HIRE PROGRAM DIRECTORS WHO ADMINISTER TITLES FROM 1 TO 9 PAID FOR BY THE GOVERNMENT (READ TAXES) BY 'RE-PRIORITIZING' GOALS. YET THE GOVERNMENT'S EGO IS IN DENIAL ABOUT THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN INCREASED FUNDING AND IMPROVED QUALITY IN AMERICA'S SCHOOLS. ANOTHER GREAT SHAME IS THAT OF POLITICAL HYPOCRISY. DEMOCRAT SENATOR WEBB'S EGO DISPLAYS A TYPICAL, LIBERAL POSITION WHEN HE JUSTIFIES OWNING A GUN TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY EVEN THOUGH HIS PARTY IS FOR GUN CONTROL FOR ORDINARY CITIZENS. HE, LIKE ANY TRUE, IDEOLOGICALLY, SMUG EGOMANIAC, KNOWS WHAT'S GOOD FOR HIS INFERIORS. A GREAT SHAME.

HINT: EGO = MANDATE X CHARISMA, SHAMED
EMPIRE - MANDATE X CHARISMA, SHAMED
