Mr Kujabi Sir

Another brilliant critique! You sure are reading some very interesting meanings into my stories. Meanings not even the author had seen, just as you have always done. That is just what a critic should do - read universal meanings into particular references. Go from the general to the particular and from the particular to the general. Hold it up sir, hold it up!

>This is another master piece of yours. This time in your 'NEW'
>LITTLE TOWN,
>a Town of DILUTED CONSTITUTION and CULTURE, is now witnessing the
>EMERGENCE
>of its 'NEW' LEADER who will soon spread his net over the entire
>Town. The
>new Leader, RHINEHEART SOBERLOOK, is a leader of passion who lacks
>WITS, has
>more BRAWNS than BRAINS. Rhineheart Soberlook will soon ban even the
>diluted

>constitution and
>new set of laws to govern. His emergence has been marked by
>VEHEMENCE and
>DIVISION that Men and Women of Wisdom, Wits and Experience have all
>gone in
>hibernation and shy away from constitutional duties.

>Consequently, Rhineheart Soberlook, the New Leader soon realized
>that there
>is no one out there to stop or challenge him. He firmly established
>himself
>as the Towns strongest Leader ever. Knowing that he lacks wits, his
>PERCEPTION of POWER becomes so incongruous that it went over his
>heads,
>thinking that since no challenges are encountered even from Men and
>Women of
>great Wisdom and Experience, therefore, no challenges are eminent in
>the
>near distant future. He became so brutal and vehement with those who
>broke
>the law, and in the end, his perception of power made him to believe
>that he
>is more intelligent than even the Men and women of Wisdom and
>Experience.
>But what Rhineheart Soberlook, the New Leader, failed to realized is
>that
>LACK OF CHALLENGES from those people with Wisdom and Experience has
>been due
>to the fact that these people have wits, the power or faculty of
>rapid and
>accurate observations. That is to say, even though they have been
>hibernating, they have been keeping a watchful eye over his deeds.
>
>But, as time went on however, Men and Women who have power or
>faculty of
>accurate observations soon realized how idiot and Moron their
>so-called New
>Leader is. They began to emerge from their hibernation and to face
>situations as it is, though some of these people have fled to
>neighboring
>countries, and some have gone further across the Ocean. Rhineheart
>Soberlook's perception of power and vehemence, made him to fetch and
>destroy
>any viable opponent; in some instances, he will stand on platforms
>in public
>gatherings to threaten opponents of LITTLE TOWN that he will even
>bury them
>SIX FEET DEEP, for his perception makes him to believe that filling
>the
>DEATH HOUSE with CORPSES and burying some alive seems to be the
>perfect
>answer to silencing his opponents. Consequently, Rhineheart
>Soberlook now
>becomes RHINEHEART UNSOBERLOOK, for he now also dispatches his
>Search and
>Destroy Team beyond the LITTLE TOWN and its environs to go fetch and
>destroy
>all those who have secretly fled the LITTLE TOWN.

>Baba once again, my felicitation.

>>MR. KNOW-ALL SPREADS HIS NET
>>By Baba Galleh Jallow
>>
>>
>>Rhineheart Soberlook had almost gotten all he wanted in terms of
>>information
>>on his enemies, his business rivals and just about all the
>>prominent and
>>not
>>so prominent bigwigs in our little town. In fact, he had gotten so
>>much
>>information that his eyes were getting squinted from the effect of
>>browsing
>>through loads and loads of information on a daily basis. His
>>evergrowing
>>number of informers were fast turning his Operation See All Unit
>>into the
>>world's leading espionage outfit, and nothing rendered our gentle
>>Mr.
>>Know-All more proud and happy tahn feeling that he had the entire
>>world of
>>information at his very finger tips, which were growing fatter by
>>the day,
>>thanks to his exceedingly flamboyant lifestyle.
>>Indeed, so happy did Mr Know-All grow that he created what he
>>called his
>>special Happy Day Sessions. At such sessions, held on the posh
>>balcony of
>>his special super-mansion, he invited all persons of calibre and
>>timber in
>>our little town. Cattle, of which the wealthy Mr Know-All had
>>hundreds,
>>were
>>slaughtered and the guests treated to a barbeque of a lifetime. In
>>the
>>middle of the eating, the chatting, the drumming and dancing, Mr
>>Know-All
>>would proudly climb the podium and gently coo into the Public
>>Address
>>System, 'May I have your attention Please'. And having had his
>>obliging
>>attention, he would delve into some special topic or other, often
>>intentionally revealing information about some of his guests that
>>they
>>would
>>rather keep secret.
>>But who dared defy or contradict the mighty Mr. Know-All! So all
>>his
>>prominent guests could do was just to laugh and coo and loudly purr
>>and
>>pretend nothing was the matter. Whereby our gentle Mr. Know-All,
>>feeling
>>like the lion king himself, would cast knowing glances in the
>>direction of
>>his selected targets and proudly grin and nod, whereby they in
>>turn, would
>>grin and gaily wave and loudly clap, as if to drown the screams of
>>misery
>>tearing their hearts.
>>Rhinehart Soberlook was a very fastidious guy. Hard to please, he
>>was a
>>stickler for perfection. So that when some of our common townsfolk
>>started
>>seeing through the ever-widening cracks of his seemingly
>>indomitable
>>armour,
>>he got really flustered and exceedingly miffed. So miffed that he
>>in fact
>>caught the flu, which sent him angrily coughing and huffing,
>>puffing and
>>spluttering all over our little town. Being the custodian of such
>>monumental
>>knowledge, powewr and wisdom, Rhinehart Soberlook could just not
>>understand
>>how such simple nonentities as some of our common townsfolk could
>>know so
>>much about his mighty self. He just could not go to sleep until he
>>found
>>out
>>ways and means of dealing with those impudent blokes who called
>>themselves
>>clever and thought they were wise. When he came to think of it, he
>>even
>>wept
>>aloud. Why should they call him fool? Why should they make him
>>dance? Would
>>they make fun of him? He would let them see!
>>Within the twinkle of an eye, Mr Know-All had an idea: He would
>>spread his
>>net!! Immediately, he recruited more informers and trained them in
>>the
>>tecniques of what he called 'special spannerworks'. He then sent
>>them not
>>only into the nooks and cranies of our little town, but also into
>>all
>>neighbouring towns and villages and everywhere else he felt were
>>any people
>>trying to call him fool. The really smart ones he sent to Europe
>>and
>>America. Their terms of reference were to throw a spanner in the
>>works of
>>his percieved enemies and critics. Confuse them, distract them,
>>make them
>>feel little and stupid. Tell them they were seeing the world upside
>>down.
>>If
>>they spoke about the moon, tell them no, they were wrong, they were
>>actually
>>speaking about the sun. If they made any unsavoury reference to any
>>Mr.
>>Know-All, tell them hey, could they not see that they were wrong?
>>And, holy
>>cow! Those guys were smart! So smart that they soon became known as
>>the
>>smarties!
