Ditto Ous Ngum.
I cannot understand how intelligent people cannot take criticism and move on.
I find that quite hard to believe, with all the snide remarks, and
pettiness.Yet, we still hope to make progress as a people. I guess the idea
is to bully people so they will not come forward with any criticism, and we
say we are trying to get rid of dictators.

Hold on to your seats people, because i will offer criticism whenever and
wherever i find it necesary. I just hope we start directing our energies
where  it counts most, instead of spending valuable time and energy throwing
out "garuwalehs" like a group of school children. I actually cannot believe
it.
