KB,
What makes this whole thing bizarre and ironic is that we the oppressed are
even paying our opressors with the the hard earned moneys we pay through
taxes! As i said earlier, we must ask ourselves as conscientious free beings
whether it is not about time we question assenting the moral authority of of
an illegal regime that is oppressing us each day? The contract between us
and the State has been breached and since the basis of the contract is our
implicit consent to being governed, then we must therefore ask in the name
of that consent, the moral imperative to be handed back our consent. If this
is resisted, we must do all within our limited powers to wrest our consent
from the immoral regime that the gov't has become.
Your point that the opposition should question whether to participate in
elections if there ever is any, is a good observation. I have made that
suggestion earlier before this crisis erupted. Another politician who
intimated such views is Hamat Bah in an interview with the Independent
sometime ago. The opposition should not involve in anything where the
playing field is not level and where a player is also a referee as we saw in
the 1996 presidential elections.
