I was told I was a "baby murderer". My picture was put up with a picture of the Black and Tans with a caption asking what the difference is. I am not boasting and I never do, but the irony of it is that I have a chestful of War of Independence medals that I inherited from my granduncles. I know for a fact that the antecedents of some of the people who put this stuff on Facebook made tea for the Black and Tans. That is true. A bit of humour is no harm.

This is a difficult issue. I respect everyone's point of view. It has been a very reasoned debate so far. I pray and hope that continues out into the country. I believe I am on the right side of the debate. I believe those of us who intend to vote "Yes" are on the right side of history, and that is where I would prefer to be.
