if i were Nkrumah

Pal,
i'm still observing issues on the Ghanaian political scene!!!
and a lot of stuff make me wish i could just take myself out of this generation into which i was born and find me some more sane space in some place with a different breed of human beings who are not stuck with human worship!!!

who the hell is Mills?

president and so? adult and so?
if i'm supposed to respect a servant of mine, a chief one for that matter simply because he's so old or because he himself does not understand that his position is no matter what name is given it (president, emperor, sultan or prime minister) is one that is supposed to make him my chief servant then to hell with leadership!!! in my kind of world a leader is simply a servant!!!

anyway, Mills is the least of my worries!!! my worry is with the many people around him, 'within' him, without him, and far from him who just keep spewing rubbish!!!

the son of Ghana's first presidents is one of those spewing a lot of rubbish! but even that is not my concern here!!! my concern is the rubbish supposedly coming from the family of this son of Nkrumah. They claim Sekou is embarrassing them!!! what rubbish!!! embarrassed indeed!!!

Pal, i have little pity for those who make their sensitivity override reason!

and so I wish i were Nkrumah!!! and if i were Nkrumah (pun? no Sekou is Nkrumah), I would have issued a counter statement claiming that even though i don't agree with Sekou Nkrumah I'm not embarrassed because someone who shares the same surname with me is speaking his 'mind'.

if these guys are embarrassed so what?????? indeed i pray that Sekou does not give up but continue to spew his rubbish as much as he can if he really believes in what he is saying else he should tell us a different story.

cheers pal,
later!

petty sentimentalism

Pal,
i believe religion is one of the most confusing of all human pursuits in this world!!!

some believe in God the father, others believe in Allah the most gracious and still some think it's all about light and sound!!! me think it's a big joke!!!

but pal what's making me tell you this again is this thing ongoing about GROUND ZERO!!! and some Americans we are told are saying that a mosque should not be build on that ground because it's slap on their 'sensitivity'? what rubbish!!!
what sensitivity?

what have these ones done about the scores of atrocities their forefathers unleashed on the native Americans? or is it the case that they don't have anything to be sensitive about?

Obama has been very charitable by playing diplomacy like he is noted for. Americans are lucky i'm not their president, else i would have told them all that anyone against the building of that mosque simply bcos it's against their sensitivity must be sick in the head!!! such petty sentiments cannot be allowed to overrule rational choices!!!

i'm just getting sick and tired of such human failures pal. for all these years that human beings have inhabited this earth and with all the examples from history to guide us, when we keep pushing such things which is based on nothing but sheer sentimentalism i wonder when we would learn to reason!

indeed if Obama had agreed with the opposition to the building of this mosque i'd have called him a fool bcos that would have gone against all the ideals he campaigned for mainly being: equal opportunities for all without bias for sex, religion, colour, etc.

who says that just bcos some extreme islamist did some wrong then that wrong should be tagged to the Islam religion as a whole??????????????

Pal, even as i would call for the end to religion anyday, i'd say let people learn to reason and let's have a stop to all the petty sentimentalism.
