Joke

What  am  trying  to  put  through  you  is  that, when  you  let  extreme
words  lead  to  extreme  deeds,  you  can  be  devastated.  Innoucous  as
your  last  posting  may  seem  regarding  the  journalists  in  the
Gambia,  do  understand  that  evil  prevails  not  in  great  chilling
leaps,  but  through  tiny  banal  events  that  slowly  mount  to
hightened  tension.  That  tension  is  condusive  to  bitterness  among
the  citizens  and if pushed  into  a  corner,  they  will  react.  So
you  see,  violence  has  no  place  in    any  civilized  society.  If
the  APRC  is  feels  libeled  or  slandered  by  any  journalist,  we  do
have  courts  to  plead  our  cases.

Beating  journalists  and  threathning  to  bury  people-  whom  you
claim  to  represent- six  feet  deep,  does  not  lay  a   fertile  soil
for  peace.  The  more  bitter  people  you  create,  the  more  bitter
people  you  have  on  hand.  Exculpatory  decrees  shall  not  do  it  in
the  end.  The  will  of  the  people  shall  win  over  demagoguery.  Be
careful  what  you  say  and  the  same  goes  for  Yaya - for  "loose
lips  sink  ships".  You  cannot  hope  for  peace  without  laying  the
groundwork  for  it.  What  you  sow  is  what  you  reap.  Be  very
careful,  for  the  might  of  the  people  is  bigger  than  Yaya  and
his  cohorts.  Be  rest  assured  that  you  all  will  stand  trial  one
day  if  you  plunge  our  country  into  chaos.
