Given that the U.S. is the only super power left and Haiti is on its doorstep and given the military is the only organisation able to respond quickly with aid, medical support and the security necessary to enable all responding organisations to operate and given the Haitian government has ceased to exist, who the f**k else would you suggest went to the aid of our fellow human beings in Haiti?
Get your paranoid, twisted, naive head out of your ass!0 -

Film Screening: Cuba - An African Odyssey, Thursday, 13th May, 8pm in Solidarity Books.
This revealing, award-winning documentary adds to our understanding of the Cold War through its least-known context Africa.
From 1961 to 1991, the Dark Continent was a battleground for four different competing interests. The Soviet Union wanted to extend its influence into a new continent; the U.S. lusted after Africa s natural resources; former European empires felt their grip on the area weaken; and, newly formed African nations fought to defend their recently won independence. When the latter called on Cuban guerillas to aid them in their struggle, Castro and Cuba stepped in to build a new offensive strategy, which would have long-lasting influence on developing countries in their battles against colonialism.
From Che Guevara s efforts in the Congo to the triumphant battle at Cuito Cuanavale, CUBA: AN AFRICAN ODYSSEY tells the story of those internationalists who won their battles but ultimately lost the war.
Film Screening: Revanche, Saturday, 15th May, 8pm in Solidarity Books.
Ex-con Alex dreams about starting a new life with the Ukrainian prostitute Tamara. To do so, he wants to rob a bank erasing debts and making the flight towards the South possible. But Tamara is unintentionally shot on the escape by the coincidentally present policeman, Robert. Alex flees to the farm of his grandfather and learns that Robert lives close by...thoughts of revenge start to arise.
Running Time: 121 minutes.

[FONT=georgia,serif]Colton Theatre Company[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]present another chance to see their debut production[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]'This Lime Tree Bower'[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]written by Conor McPherson[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]At The Cork Arts Theatre [/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]Monday 8th of November to Saturday 13th of November @ 8p.m.[/FONT][FONT=georgia,serif]All tickets €10! Box Office (021) 4505624 [/FONT]Directed by Killian CollinsFeaturing Kevin Twomey, Eamonn Doyle and Jody Quirke.
[FONT=georgia,serif]This Lime Tree Bower features three young men from a small Dublin seaside town telling the overlapping tale of one fateful weekend. Ray is the boyfriend of Carmel, sister to Joe and Frank. They all live with their widower father, who operates a chipper at the Dublin seaside. Each character has his own story to tell: Joe, of coming-of-age as he searches for adventure to extricate himself from the boredom of school; Frank, of the hatching of his great plan to solve all the family’s troubles; and Ray, of the unsettling effects of too much booze and sex with students on his academic performance, as well as of his convenient if unanticipated involvement in Frank's scheme. Conor McPherson’s This Lime Tree Bower is a funny and moving tale of how three inextricably linked lives are turned upside down in a matter of days.[/FONT]join us on our Facebook page @ www.groups.to/coltontheatrecompany0 -
