At_Last

half of the Irish wasting away in H-block prisoner of war jails have had no charges, trials, hearings, nor semblance of representation. English law (their variation of the word which might warrant a new thesaurus selection of ‘oppression’) allows them to decide who is troublesome - then jail them straight away. In a very telling way, this behavior points out that the English have no faith in law as it might impact on POLICY. They remain a nation of POLICY - not law, and certainly not men. Policy, aristocratic or ruling policy manifested as police or militia action without law or equal access to law is what got them tossed out of just about every place they fouled to the tune of ‘Rule Britannia’.

In an unpublished - for my own safety - portion of the manuscripts in my possession, McGuiness writes of the very brutal image he holds in the public eye :

"Honor doesn't suit me. But dressed in revenge, I am a well tailored man."

An introspective and telling comment follows shortly after, when he observes,

"I have glutted on vengeance but never smelled of justice."

and then declares:

"Men have thrown their lives away seeking answers to questions, questions planted in the soil of ignorance, grown in the light of prejudice, and weeded for a harvest self serving tastes. I don't seek the grain of truth, nor yearn a flight of fancy in the winds of history. I simply speak for the chaff as it is blown away."

About good and evil, McGuiness declares:

"Good is that which can't abuse. Evil is all the rest."
