I
am an Irish born protestant who cares more for Northern
Ireland and its people than for anyone or anything
in Britain or the Irish Republic.
I
read the Dolours Price
piece with interest. It seems to me her writing
reveals mostly her own deep bitterness and twistedness
which she has nurtured within herself by her prejudices.
It is very obvious to the reader that she is going
to bring about her own destruction in this life and
sadly the real possibility that it extends into the
life to come.
Dolours
writes as someone who has no future; she lives as
a prisoner of the past; her own past, the one she
constructed herself. She has nothing to offer Ireland,
north, south or united because she is full of bitterness.
Reading her comments makes clear that she sees no
future for any diversity in Ireland. The only Ireland
she envisages is hers - for her and those like her.
Thankfully there are relatively few people who share
her politics, her vision and her readiness to murder
and maim.
As
for Doulors comment's about Gerry Kelly, they may
be a closer description of herself because Gerry has
grown up to be the man he used to be when he was a
boy. I mean he saw the world a happier, more positive
place with hope and adventure and a future.
Dolours
started off that way too but sadly that little girl
has turned into the woman that little girl could never
have imagined even in her worst nightmare. What happened
to that little girl? Is she lost forever? I want her
back for her own sake.
