This is Episode 6 of An Irish Devil's Coal - the last. The story has been too long for a single podcast so I serialized it over six podcasts. It has been a story of the misadventures of two Irish-Catholic brothers on the streets of Boston on Christmas Eve and the consequences of their actions. It is a story of good intentions gone bad. Highly humorous, it has been told around Murphy clan gatherings for over 30 years. It is based on true life events. As an aside, coal is not merely a catchy title. P.S. There will be a short Epilogue podcast to put a wrap on the series.

This essay was written in 2016. It puts the thinking of a group of real life common men into context. Existential fear of Islamic terror has caused them to suggest the use of extreme, and possibly amoral, measures by the US in response. Author interjects his own thinking about the implications of that sea change. Written before the 2016 US elections but proven to be on point since.

A short essay written in May 2016. It opines that the younger generations have never experienced real, full scale, war and, therefore, can only conjure up some abstract idea of it. The argument is made in historical and philosophical terms. Cautions against both martial romanticism and the negative impact on society of failing to be in a natural tension with its neighbors.
