Edi,
You seem fixated on this "insult the president" issue. I have come to the
conclusion that for you, expressing my views and calling the APRC regime and
Jammeh what they are, tyrants and dictators is what you call insulting them. I
hope that you will learn how a democracy is supposed to operate one day soon.
Just support those who have the courage and the conviction to fight on behalf of
all Gambians, yourself included and you may both learn and enjoy the benefits
of a true democratic government one day. If you would rather straddle the
fence for self preservation by telling us that you are against the regime but have
spent all your time on this list defending them, then we have seen the likes
of you by the dozens, they are the ones who nurture the subjugators of their
own all over the African continent, but we will still fight on your behalf for
the sake of everyone else.
Now, most importantly, if you are so convinced that what I have been doing is
insignificant and no one is listening to me and Jammeh is all powerful, then
what is your worry Edi? Seems to me that if you really belived that, you need
not spend time debating me on that issue and informing me of this or is this
your startegy of planting this amusing idea of yours into peoples' mind? I
think those likely to pay attention to this infantile campaign of yours are
already worshipping Jammeh so you need not devote any precious time to it because
it is akin to preaching to the choir.
All you need to do is ignore me and my tirades and be secure in your
knowledge that
what I and people like me are doing is insignificant. That's certainly what
I would do if I were you because then what possible harm could I bring into
such a secure situation huh?
