Storm in a glass
Damn, we like politics business oh! What! It has been over a month now that, and all over our various media institutions, and our honourable lawmakers at the various conference centers in the northern suburbs of Monrovia and elsewhere, are still voicing their different opinions of whether or not this person violated the constitution. Blah, blah, blah. According to X.x article of the constitution, this and this. According to the Supreme Court ruling, this and that. And we shouldn´t even mention everytime the Liberian Petroleum Refining Cooperation releases a finacial statement. Ooohh! You just see them creeping out of the woodworks, every last Tom, Dick and Harry voicing their "expertise" on what is wrong and right about this and that, and still getting the facts wrong. Don´t get me wrong, freedom of speech is one of the things I will defend to the end. What I am trying to say is that we need to build up our country and create jobs very urgently, but it seems that most of us are sitting around debating petitesses with such enormous energy. Egos are flying all over the place, our so-called legislators all want to demonstrate their newfound power. A lot of these voices being thrown into these debates are from abroad. Come home, do not just sit there. If you are all that, you should be here, helping. You who knows accounting, come home and demonstrate. You who know law, I am sure that the judicial could use your help. And it just goes on. But no one is interested, everyone wants a government job and as long as they are not given one, our businesses will remain run by foreigners. This reminds me of when in the founding of our nation, land was being handed out to each family that arrived. But still, almost four or five years after the beginning of the settlement, not enough food was being produced because no one wanted to farm. Everybody wanted to trade. It got to a point where some lazy asses just sat and waited for the next boat to come in with supplies. Please funnel your energy into something productive instead of wasting it on nonsense.
