People, Strong minds do not fume when faced with opposing views. They do not hijack the masses' sense of judgment and call them feeble minds. The tyranny tag pasted on Jemus' forehead is disguised in some of us. Give us the opportunity and we will break his record! Self- intellectual grandeur means bull to the farmer in Njolfen. He is more concerned about how to get his 'kobo' for the family 'chereh' - tonight's dinner! Coming forth with some methodology to improve his lot should be the agenda. In our crusade to exhibit ourselves as 'intellectual dinosaurs' we easily lose sight of the most fundamental needs of those whom we claim to defend. To task of the day: in my humble opinion Lawyer Darboe should make a complete U-turn, back to Dumbutu(Kiang). The money to be used for his trip to DC should go to combat voter-apathy, more female-participation on the UDP platform(female-friendly attitude), employ party members to see to correct voter-registration, and of course why not buy some votes? can anyone enlighten me on how Darboe's presentation in DC is going to motivate voters in Kiang make history, come October? Let Darboe visit DC after the elections to celebrate victory! There is work to be done on the ground. Resources and efforts should be channeled to where they are most needed. The same goes for the other opposition leaders. On a concluding note, if finding rolls of empty rhetoric boring, means being a 'mental midget' then the majority of our populace are 'mental midgets' of the first order(They are bored to death by rhetoric, more after actions to improve their lot not words). I am honored to hold high their banner, marching alongside towards our freedom. Long live 'the mental midgets' both on the L and in the Gambia. We are our own liberators, we cannot depend on the cyber dinosaurs. Still calling on volunteers to be ready to lay down dear life and save the nation, without an ant sneezing! Minos. _________________________________________________________________________ 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
