What a joke... or... dun mak me laff yah.

Out of pure curiosity, I went to see our lawbreakers in session just the other day. I was shocked, utterly petrified with what I saw. I had to ask the guy next to me if this was normally how things went about. Let me put it this way, whoever you voted for is taking you for a ride. Not only that, they are making you pay for that ride. I have never seen a bunch of more ignorant people in my entire life. I swear on my plum tree. It is all a big bluff, so what I am wondering is who takes these guys seriously? If you ever see me run for office, please remind me of this. They could not pay me enough to lower myself to these guys standards. In the mean while I am going to go and produce something.

The Ambassador

When I saw this documentary last year, nothing I saw surprised me. This kind of thing will happen again, and again, and again. It does not matter on what level it happens, but this is typical of us and our country. What needs to happen is that these kind of people have to be forwarded to the right channels, procedures and checks. Our ignorant people have to learn that anyone can be white and wear a suit and tie. It does not make them god, but that we are their equals, and should interact with them based on this fact. From what I can tell, there are very few Liberians out there who have actually seen the documentary. Make sure you do before you start making noice. It is undercover journalism at its best and it exposes a lot of weaknesses in our society and in the Central Afican Republic. Our biggest weakness: Awe of white skin!

The absence of debate!

During the gone elections, all kinds of organisation were arranging debate amonst the contenders. As usual, nothing came out of it. Just today it hit me, the reason we do not have debates in Liberia is because there is basically nothing to debate. It is just a power struggle amongst crowd of friends.

At the end, we all want the same thing.

Know your history...

...but do not dwell on it. The past is nothing we as a people can change. We can look back and learn from it. We can spot mistakes made and avoid them in the future.

This does not mean that we should spend our days arguing about who did what, when. We need to take our eyes from the rear view mirror and look towards the horizon.

That being said, lets put our heads together and figure this future thing out. No one is going to do it for us.
