Well, this is interesting.

The Irish Republican Army is disarming. They have decided that peaceful means are the only means to use. And Britain rejoiced, and Ireland with her. Maybe now they can get some work done. So long as they, erm... stick to their guns.

Unfortunately, at home, things aren't so good. The Democrats have made themselves a right-wing party. Soon it will be the Democrat-Republicans again. And then, maybe Big Brother will finally appear. After the flap over Hot Coffee, it might be that we don't get to see the blind video gamer work his magic. (Unlike Tommy, this guy's really blind, and still plays a mean pinball.)

Today wasn't necessarily uber-productive, but I did write and game some today. Productivity has it's advantages? Maybe. We'll see how it turns out. More writing and gaming to go tomorrow. And then things like weddings and weekends and uberparties and Everyone seems to like Saturday, for some reason.

Oh, the IRA may be (claiming to be) disarming, but the Real IRA, Provisional IRA, Continuity IRA and their ilk haven't. The splinter groups will reject this.

The primary network wasn't much more than an organised crime ring by now anyway.

So it's really just another symbolic and somewhat empty gesture? From here on out we get to see violence like this, just not in their name?

And of course there are the Potestant gangs as well. They've nearly as many men on the street as the Catholic at any one time.
