Ireland to Abolish Murphy's Law

For Immediate release: Drama over Murphy's Law

(ACPA-Dublin) Calls are growing across Ireland for the abolition of Murphy's Law following a series of mass arrests by the authorities. In early morning raids yesterday, dozens of Citizens, unfortunate enough to have had nothing go wrong, found themselves incarcerated in Dublin's decrepit Mountjoy prison.

Ireland's Supreme Court to hear the case- from www PDPhoto.org Slavish adherence to Murphy's Law by Ireland's ruling Authorities predates the arrival of St Patrick and Catholicism to the Emerald Isle and over the centuries the Irish people have been bitterly oppressed by this legal heritage.

From the Viking destruction of the "Land of Saints and Scholars" to potato famine and failed rebellions, Murphy has been invoked time and time again raining misery on the unfortunate natives.

The dominant Catholic Church quietly supported it, believing that it was in their best interest to have anguish poured on the people on a regular basis.

That sorrow continues today with the hope and optimism of the "Celtic Tiger" economic miracle replaced with rocketing property prices and traffic that would make a condemned man stay in his cell.

A pint of plain is your only man- by Jon Sullivan at www.pdphoto.org There is hope! Amnesty International has declared all those arrested as "Prisoners of Conscience" and are appealing for their immediate release and the total repeal of Murphy's Law.

Meanwhile Defense Lawyers intend to argue a case that Murphy's Law became obsolete after Ireland joined the European Union.

They will also shows statistics proving that the recent influx of Eastern European and Afrcian immigrants has reduced the ratio of required disasters per head of population.
