The quote is a good one. It was very well put in the movie. I can see the truth of it and certainly not just in the North where SF have parked themselves at the 'big' table with no more purpose than being having their irrelevany presence accepted at it.

Larry and itsjustmackers,
My fictional quote has not been fully understood……who do you think he is referring too when he speaks of the book readers sitting around the table eating and drinking…..here’s a clue, it’s not just Adams and Co.

Nice to see you copied the characters words from the movie.
He was reading from the book ;
By
Mikhael A. Bakunin,
"The Patriotism"
But I like others on TPQ , prefer to use our own words, and if a quote is used , the source is given as well. But the other Juan Miranda was born in Cuba, He is a famous American footballer playing for Tampa Bay!

Nial, are you a mexican revolution movie buff. I saw that movie too. The bandito's brother was a priest and he got slaughtered for taking the 'easy' way out.

Thats an excellent piece from Eoghan, A lot to take in and digest ,and to decipher.

I am one off those who was poor in the recent conflict on our Island Of Ireland, Albeit the North Easter Province of Ulster.

I can assure you, I and my Friends could read very well, and, are still alive today, So whats your point about the poor not being able to read and all dead?. The last part of your posts is too obvious, but it reflects on something I have adcocated several times, We are on an ever ending rollercoaster untill the British, either leave or are forced to leave by Demonstrations and protests, refusing to pay Rates etc, if that fails then it is back to the drawing board and a new army council, and a new war, But I hope it doesn't come to that, but I cant think of an alternative. Now, Do you have a different plan?, I would love to Read your plan on the TPQ, maybe it could be followed up on.

I will Plead ignorance on the Juan Miranda, I was looking to see if someone by that name had posted! (american Football player) or, am i missing out on something.
I do know who John H Mallory was .

Juan Miranda, I know what I am talking about whe...

Juan Miranda,

I know what I am talking about when I am talking about the revolutions. The people who read the books go to the people who can't read the books, the poor people, and say, "We have to have a change." So, the poor people make the change, ah? And then, the people who read the books, they all sit around the big polished tables, and they talk and talk and talk and eat and eat and eat, eh? But what has happened to the poor people? They're dead! That's your revolution. Shhh... So, please, don't tell me about revolutions! And what happens afterwards? The same fucking thing starts all over again!

John H. Mallory’s response,
Hmmm.
