Can we learn from the past? | Started by: CarraigRealta on Mar 25, '13 14:04 |
So now I have been here and traced a few old cousins I was given a key to an old lockup in The Loop in old Chi town. So quick as I could I popped myself down there and went to see what delights I could find. When i got there....Nothing...nothing but some old newspapers and a rusty old gun. So not knowing what else to do I started flicking through these old cuttings. Its amazing how we could all learn something from our forefathers. |

As someone whose bloodline only came to these shores quite some time after these events occured, I would say that I find hearing such tales extremely interesting. |

Ms Delaney, while I do agree with most your views here, I do think that there is a constant desire to learn and a constant desire to bring about change. People just feel that changes can be brought about by other ways than coming to the Streets but rather in the coffee shops and in other sites such as the much fabled hideout called 'Skype' and therein lies the problem, in my opinion. |

I'd like to read another small article from this dusty old print... |

I believe the Teq family are always more the exception than the rule.
They have always spoken their minds no matter the situation.
Sometimes we can look at the past through rose-tinted glasses, the problems of the present plagued our families in the past, however they are highlighted more due to the longevity of our lives. Amazing what science can do these days. |

Yes I remember those days when I was a nipper. They used to question who was authed and that was their rights. The auth in turn would have had to come out here and explain themselves otherwise they would have got axed not long after. |

An interesting archive to share with us Carraig, thanks for digging it up. It does raise and pose a few interesting questions for us to ponder. Questions that were relevant then, are relevant now and will be just as relevant in the future. |

We live in a different world to our ancestors, CarraigRealta. The line in the sand became a lot shorter than it used to be so some off us are not as active here as we would probably like to be. It IS getting better though... the current crop of powers have brought the streets back closer to what they were. If your bloodline had been around just over a year ago I think they would've seen how bad it had become. (When people were killed for comments in OOC).
It is TOTALLY dependant on who is deemed to be in charge. If they have a relaxed attitude to street speaking you'll find the chains loosened. There is usually someone out there to 'push boundaries' when it comes to what's being said so we all know where the proverbial line in the sand is. Some still overstep the mark, most don't.
All I can say to you Carraig is... it could be worse. |

The good news Countdown, is that "... it could be worse" is very different to "... it can't be better". |

To be honest, Mr.Realta, the latest snippet that you have brought forward is, in my opinion, quite misleading. People came out and questioned? well, how many people actually did it and let Uncle Nicky know who they were. One person from all those people and that of course, a member of the TeQ bloodline, well known for speaking its mind regardless of possible repercussions. Well, we have a TeQ now as well and in my opinion he has made quite a few statements in his existence that were more inflammatory that the aforementioned one. |
