Pal,
Many are they who have committed all kinds of evil under the dark. I certainly prefer a man who'd coming attacking me with full and determined force in the face rather than have someone creep up my back to stab me or hack off my head! ouch! what did they do to Osama again? and what was that Osama did to them too?
Forget skyscrapers and forget the wonders of Dubai! This world is far from civilization pal, I dare say! In a world where people can hardly be frank and speak their minds to ideas, without looking over their shoulders for all sorts of shackles that come in the form of religion, age, tribe, culture (something I think has no meaning or at best confuses human beings. what is culture at all?) eye-colour, political organization, etc., you don't call that world civilized. That is an uncivilized world for civilization stems from the mind and you can't cripple that stem and claim to be civilized, to put it simply 'in a winding way'.
So it's in the spirit of such yearning for civilization that I welcome all the leaks from wikileaks with open arms, awaa waa tuu u! How so refreshing! Almost every govt is this world is embarrassed in some way by the leaks and I'm glad so. If Jesus is a saviour then so is wikileaks! Ye-su!
In Ghana where I'm supposed to be a citizen, some are eager to remain tied to their conservatism and are saying people should ignore wikileaks. How? Why? their reasons are still-birthed with confusion anyway! no sense! wikileaks is like the revelations in the Bible and gives enough food for thought. It reveals issues ranging from Agriculture to the Zealousness of people, which issues should guide men and women to build a better world instead of playing the ostrich and remaining in sh*t! (even shit one cannot say freely).
what kind of world is this? why can't someone who thinks he's white just feel free to call me Black Monkey while I also feel free to call him White-Elephant and just walk free without any beastly killings or harm? I urge black Americans to call for the free use of the n-word. NIGER! allow people to use whatever word they want. For ChriSt's sake, words don't kill. Humans do!
Anyway pal, I pray for more leaks for more revelations. The world is a better place so!
have a good weekend and see you on the flip side!

The deception called patriotism
Pal,
I'm not patriotic!
This is another bogus principle that is preached: patriotism.
when we were growing up as school children we were thought to sing patriotic songs like Yen Ara Ya Sa Se Ne, etc. good songs in terms of artistry but left lots to be desired in terms of principle.
Today I look back and cringe at the idea that instead of helping to open the minds of young men and women we rather had adults who were too willing to make sure our imaginations were clipped so we did not think much beyond the artificial borders created for us by none other than Europeans ironically. So the songs said, hold on to these borders and never let go even at the peril of your life.
They said we should put our country first (not bad in an age where Obama is ready to team up with Sarkozy to destroy Libya with the excuse that Gaddafi is a tyrant). but on a serious philosophical level, why have human beings been such uncivilized for all these years that we have created borders for whatever reason, fear, greed, etc., and at which borders we meet and fight? these creations cannot be civilization. No!
True civilization is when men and women respect the existence of one another and accord one another space to probe ideas. we are not there and I wonder when we'd get there.
So, as for me, I'm not a Ghanaian. I'd never truly accept that I'm Ghanaian even though my passport says so (just so I can get by in this artificial world). indeed, I'd never accept to be a citizen of any country. I'm me and my thoughts are freely based on ideas of this world.
I'd support the Black Stars of Ghana if I want since I like good football just as I'd support the Lions of Cameron if I want. I love Eto. Again, I'd support Gaddafi against Obama when I see a calculated attempt to destroy and steal from Libya and I'd at the same time find space to condemn Gaddafi for any wrongs on his part.
That is how the human spirit is naturally: FREE!
chat you later pal.
