i got a hide today for a post saying i wasnt sad. but damn it, obits are the 1st draft of history, and i'll be damned if i let the fawning overtake facts.

yeah, i'm gettin a lot of flack today for being glad the old bird is no more. but i'm irish, and there is blood on that crown of my direct ancestors. before my grandparents came on coffin ships, 5 gen back, my rebel ancestor was sent to oz on a prison ship, tho above decks as a settler, his kin scattered. his nephew landed here. and the more f'ed up this country becomes, the more bitter i get that i am here and not home.

eta- tho my ancestor went as a settler, shortly after he got there, he was charged w sedition for saying- in this land all irishmen will be one.
for that he went to van demon's land. he was eventually acquitted, and rose to power there. but in the end, the crown, w help from the bottle, took him down, and he died in debtor's prison.

update- earlg has kindly reversed my hide.
