If they don't change, then how effective*br*: will they be when we apply them??? Searles, anybody... *br*: thoughts???*p*Taliesin,*p*     With regards to the brehon laws, from my understanding of them, they were designed to cover every imaginable situation/circumstance that might possibly arise. . . The terminology, as appears in the Seanchus Mor, etcetera, might be dated but the situations they cover stay the same. . . Essentially, it boils down to a common sensse approach towards a certain set of circumstances. As for the triads, again from my understanding, triads are like stories that can be altered or changed in order to get a specific lesson across to the target audience. Of course the person teaching the stories or triads also knows the original stories or triads (the core knowledge), and with that core knowledge, alter and change them according to the lesson he/she wants to get the students to learn.*p*Slan,*p*Aicerno
