I lean over and let my legs dangle off the railing a little. The wind makes noises like thunder when it whips past my ears, but the sound of the heartbeat in my chest is too loud for me to really hear it.

The use of the word folly was essentially a word that won over its use despite the negative connotation that many stated it gave off. I guess many felt the use of the word would tarnish their brand and image that they have held…

The Irish Republican Army (IRA) has existed as an organization for nearly 100 years. Particularly as terrorist groups go, that is impressive; in fact, “long-standing terrorism expert David Rapoport argues that 90 percent [of terrorist groups] last less than a year.” The case of the IRA, therefore, is significant to the discussion of how terrorism ends by, providing an essential context for a variety of reasons.
