opinion/analysis
Sunday June 19, 2005 20:08 by iosaf mac diarmada - ipsiphi barcelona
It has long been observed, that on Sunday the mass does different things.
Some go to church, some return from clubs and sleep, some read a book, some do the gardening, some catch up with their kids, some eat a lot, some practise yoga, some Vote.
It has long been valued that on their non-banking days people are pretty much the same as when they work, graft, toil and sweat. Except they have less money making opportunities. This facilitates their increased participation in their society as citizens and nationals of the Civilised World.
It has long been observed that the mass on their non banking days readily absorb shite.
This is why coups are most successful on the weekend, and elections as well.
It is on your non-banking days that you are presented with the most filagree woven tissues of spirit and lie, ghost and truth. It is through weekend that we have considerable space in your head.
In today's edition :- How Galicians voted & not voted.
the place in question. 3million people who just decided "their leader" "You say: Galicia is very small. I tell you: Galicia is a world...
It may be small in size; in depth,
in substance, it is as big as you could want..."
Vicente Risco
[1884-1963], writer
"All of Europe has made the pilgrimage to compostella."
Goethe (the great) 1749 - 1832
"The song of every bird in Galicia was silenced for an instant on contemplating so much future ahead"
X. L. Méndez Ferrín [1938], writer
"And whoever was as beautiful as us
Beautiful, if they loved a friend,
Beneath these blossoming hazels
Will come to dance..."
Airas Nunes ( XIII century), poet
"For Galicians Finisterre has never been the end, But the beginning"
Raul Alfonsín, President of Argentina [1983-1989]
"Wiederwahl von Ex-Franco-Gefolgsmann Fraga fraglich"
-even the swiss germans are punning in their interest the Goethe connection lives on.

L'automne de «Don Manuel» recyclé du franquisme, Je me sens fort comme un toro», disait-il l'autre jour ; «Je veux mourir sur la place comme un bon torero»,
= The domain of Don Manuel recycled Franco-ism, "i feel like a bullfighter, I won't to die on the arena like a good bull-fighter"
http://libe.com/page.php?Article=305031
It is reckoning time, for the Don might lose, might indeed someday leave not only the stage but life, & so many wonder what has he prepared for those he leaves behind?
Before Ireland became a nordic country, rivaling scandinavia in drink and tobacco prices, economic indicators, and we went "viking". Before Mcdowell's blonde justice, some corner of the heart of the nation, some aorta of De Valera's blood was shared with Galicia the celtic dominion of dolmens, sea & Fraga when notions of nations and consciousness of states were defined so clearly so permenantly by flags, oaths, songs and most of all, “great men” who lasted so so long.
THIS IS ABOUT POWER.
its not just about the little corner of Finesterre.
its not just about :-
the issues.......................all of them.
€urope - Kathurlickism - NATO - U$A - España - Euskal Herria - Catalunya - Rights - Environmentalism - the 20th century -
nope its more than that-
whoever wins gets magical powers you see.
:"are you president of the Xunta?"
:"yes I am."
:"well done here's your magical potion, you now live long and be wise yet stern".
:"I can think of no-one else capable of the job"
:"maith an buachail"
:"bikiños, carinho"
:"mais of that"
