Mr. Dampha, Get-off your high horse and face reality. If you believe that people living here are ignorant of what goes on here, then you have a problem. Peddling vulgarity after vulgarity will not win you people or elections. The onus to educate the people of Kiang, if you consider it necessry, rests squarely on the UDP. You keep going on and on and on about the tragic events of April 10 & 11. Do you think the people of Kiang that. Tragic as it may, it has happened already and cannot be undone. The government having decided that prosecuting those found were incriminated in the commission of enquiry report of the April 10 and 11 incident will not help the healing process, what do you expect us to do. Having tried and indicted the government leadership, why have't you done more than just ranting and raving? Why not mount a challenge to it or initiate a private prosecution? From your postings, I can sence desperation, anger and extreme narrow-mindedness. Your lack of tolerance and inability to see beyond the superficial and recognise the underlying truth that the ordinary people of both Kiang and Badibu don't see the UDP as an alternative to the APRC is your problem. This clearly shows your lack of insight. Mind you, a person lacking insight may not necessarily be ignorant. As to why people should vote for a murderous regime, why don't you find out yourself. I am even surprised that you keep asking me this question. Don't you know that when people go into those ballot boothes, they are there alone and vote according to their conscience? If you really believe in democracy and that the will of the people is what legitimises a government, then you should respect the verdict of the people. If you, up there in cloud cuckoo-land can see what is happening here, so are we. It is said that perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another. My advise to you is to remove your blinkers and get the bigger picture. People are more pre-occupied with healing the wounds of April 10 & 11 rather than dwelling in them. Have a nice day and bye 4Now, KB Jobe. ========================================================== "There is a time in the life of every problem when it is big enough to see, yet small enough to solve" (MIKE LEAVITT) =========================================================== _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
