As I read each of Saiks correspondence with a Sister Jay and her quarrels with the gentleman, I cannot help but wonder what the lady's problems are. And how empty the quarrels really are. Each message from her contains a subtle lambasting of why Saiks is not in the Gambia staging the struggle there instead of Oslo. Excuse me what are you doing in Sweden? One wonders what self sacrifices you are undergoing that makes you so self righteous as to chide Saiks on his little contribution? The guy told you that when students were being gunned down he happened to be there on a mission for the better but no that doesn't suffice for you. You want his permanent presence there. You want him set up an outfit to battle the regime; a trade union or something of that nature. One would be excused into believing that you have already set up your own Gambia Women Findi Grower's Association for you to adopt such a self righteous posture. Ironic isn't? You staging that phoney and outdated Marxist struggle/revolution in Stockholm for wretched souls in the Gambia but aha, Saiks is exempt from that privilege because maybe he happens to be a man. Surprised?...me? Nope. This is the age of irony. People just wouldn't stop this self righteous talks about how each should conduct him/herself. For chrissake lets stop this these senseless quarrels. If people want to make their presence known on the List let them tackle the real issues that affect us as a people rather than engage in slugfests that lays bare one's sense of irony each time. By the way just wish to inform you lot there is indeed ugliness in diversity. Time has not accorded me the opportunity to tell you why. Diversity like conformism can be both dull and ugly. This is such a time in the struggle against the Fascist regime. Brother Saiks, continue your struggle. The struggle is not defined where one is residing or have chosen as a base but what one contributes. If you wish to stage it in Nicaragua or the North Pole, do not take sanctimonious or holier-than-thou sermons from people in the comfy worlds of Stockholm or elsewhere who think otherwise. The struggle can be mounted/staged anywhere. Bottomline is one has just to be patriotic, dedicated, selfless and well meaning.
