Ousman,Jasseh-Conteh and junglesunrise just stay focussed let no amount of "harsh" and "annoying" verbose 'parambulators' distract you.You see it used to pain me in the beginning when i saw people that i knew and still know as offshoots of the days of PPP-dominated compounds come here and insult us but now it doesn't pain me at all it makes me feel sorry for these self-crowned democrats of Gambial! As i used to say here;i wish that a panel of examiners or judges could put some of us together with these "spongy-minded" guys at a corner and test our iqs once and for all! They do call us all sort of names here on Gambial but back home we know and knew each other! We know who is who even along the chilly corridors of maryland,seattle and Connecticut! we know! The politics here isn't politics! Its hating with tricks! Hey! stop it hating the APRC or calling M'baring Shiriff Dibba names isn't the way out! No amount of rudeness or disrespect can change society! Society can only change when a societal approach is taken.Individualistic feelings or "kabudu" intellectualism is for "ngenteh platform" ot "takka scenario" of gambianised politics and not for serious democratic podiums.Swallowing borrowed jargons from pop stars or revisiting encyclopedias only to satisfy peers isn't the way out. All of us can write whatever but is that enough a guarantee that we have received the baton of honour?! Marx theorised,Engels did,Lenin did but didn't the syndrome of tightened theoretical methods based on wax-like literature go away?! Those theories weren't they penetrated by the security apparatus of the west.1917 to 1989 was too short a period for a serious theory to erode like that! It eroded because we saw bearded theorists who thought that no other brains existed except theirs! Totalitarianism is a disease! and i will keep on raining it into the sacrosanct e-mails of those submerged into imaginery intelligence! whether they like it or not. If someone doesn't give a hoot about Dibba's position it makes me laugh aloud because some of us do even forget that some characters herein exist in the first place. Rudeness during positive engagements is like a blanket being used when the temperature is at 45°C!!! The choice to cover oneself is there but the heat to peel the person's skin is also there! I feel that my nerves are draining for seeing people who find it hard to manage their immidiate surrounding claiming to pave a way for a country! Some are even my close relatives herein and are harboured by total hatred just because one's wishes aren't grated by nature and society! Is that what we should call good muslims and christians from good homes and environments?! Some are annoyed because of their own makings and not the ARPC! Even if the APRC were to be out today i will never venture sharing a political approach with people who hate and shun for personal reasons! Be realistic and live a life. By the 1st of March i will be in the states on a leave and i will be more than happy to meet some of you and see if the way you write is the way you speak. A session will be held between me and some writer's group somewhere in Maine or Atlanta and i would really want to be challenged by some of you.Please without "mental midgets!!!" because that is a frustrated style.Its also the easiest way to debate. I will contact Ousman Bojang to give him the venue etc when we meet in Banjul next week. YERO.
