    Default I just found this map and it makes me very sad.



    That big blacked out area on the right is Belfast.

    This thing should be hanging up in every museum in Ireland.

    That is pretty rough. Do you know how many names that is in all?

    Wow. That's dire.

    Minard would like it, though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Joseph_Minard

    There are approximately 3500 names on there. It only includes those murdered within Northern Ireland, and only up until 2001 although thankfully there haven't been that many political murders since. I'm guess there are perhaps 40-50 people who died elsewhere or since 2001 whose names aren't included.

    I wonder if it includes disappearences as well or just known killings.

    Either way, its a sad piece of work.
