Recently on social media in Ireland shocking graphic images of a traffic accident were shared causing genuine horror and distress. At times people on line can behave in cruel vicious ways. John Waters has pointed out the irony of the strict standards the Irish Times insists on in verifying letters to the editor but it allows vile personal attacks to be published freely and anonymously.
I was utterly horrified at the scenes in Dublin castle on May 25 and still feel sick thinking about the mentality of the electorate that rubber stamped the Harris law.
For years we have been informed of complex heart rendering hard cases. Now the mask seems to have slipped and actual delight in the power to kill can be expressed with dancing and rejoicing. Last week the new ultra liberal New York abortion law was also greated with rejoicing and the lighting up of public buildings. Again a self proclaimed catholic politician led the charge.
The loss of a common sense of decency is another casuality of this new dark age. We lament loudly and rightly when individuals are crass and shameful in sharing accident scenes but no one dare criticise the dancing dervishes of death.
