 Do you think you are a man of  principle yourself? I don't think so. since

 appologizing. Again I think you are not fair to the man as your mail is so
 insulting. I for one, will be greatful to see everyone who is involved in
 the present government to join the list. In this way our voices can be
 heard.

l second that motion  of refraining from personal attacks since it tends to
give the impression that those of us who criticize the government  are
launching personal attacks and have hatred for the people we criticize,
rather than just political and moral differences. Yes, if more of  those in
positions of responsibility in the government joined the list  with the
intention to listen to the different  opinions, it would certainly serve  as
a tool for them to hear the  voices of at least some of the Gambian people
who have something important to say, and which can serve as food for thought
for  those in positions of responsibility  if they want us to believe that
they have the interest of the people at heart. Then perhaps we can get some
intelligent feedback from them as opposed to just  meaningless one liners
that truely just go toward supporting the notion that they could care less
about what those who they purport to govern think.
