Conteh,

The above is the profound statement of the moment, and I would like to echoe
it.
A person or two have told me in the past week or so that they have lost
respect for me or something to that effect, because I dared to speak the
truth regarding this coalition situation, as well as my conviction to remind
the people not to make the mistake of repeating a  dreadful history.

My sentiment is that if having respect for me means that I have to blindfold
myself to the truth, then it is respect  I cannot possibly afford to have,
and I will stick with the truth.
