Alagie, One of the things I hate most, is narrow minded-ness. This is because narrow mindedness limits your ability/willingeness to reason out things in their proper perspectives. I know you wouldn't make the enquiry because you already know what I am talking about. Boy, what is wrong with you? I have said it here, in no uncertain terms, that things are very bad, have been very, very bad and that we need to do something about it. But how can we do anything about it without talking about it, understanding it and developing a strategy to overcome it? How can we develop a strategy to solve our problems if selfish people like you not only elope, but will not allow others to try their bit? Some of you are really anti-Gambia and not anti-Yahya. If you were not anti-Gambia you would encourage respectful discussion of all our problems with a view to finding the best solutions to them. But no! You sit in your comfortable environments, not caring about anything except what affects you directly and expect to see and hear about things that you like but will not do yourself. You make me feel sick. Your twisted logic Alagie, will not allow you to do that. Your narrow minded-ness will also not allow it. Very sad if you ask me. Njiaya, I have said it here before, that development is a process and not an event. We may not have all the answers to all our poblems at the moment but can atleast try to implement some of the answers that we have. We cannot think and act digitally. No Alagie we can't. For decades, we have not had the opportunity to scrutinize policies made on our behalf and as a result, we have not only been subjected to those policies without our consent but we suffered as a result of them. This is what the government is trying to overcome and they are making good progress. The best you can do do is to criticize them were they have their short-comings but encouraging them were they are doing well. This, I believe, is the way forward. None of you can force change in anybody especially in cyber space. If that is the case, then what is the point of trying to discourage civil discourse about important issues that concern and affect all of us? Alagie, your choice to live in the States, join the US army and now a reserve, is not my business. But to sit there and try to bambozle people down here is not acceptable. I have given you, and all those who have access to the L, information that you can rely on for the future development of the country. What you do with it is your business. I am sure some day your conscience will remind you of the lost opportunity you had in making a difference. On a final note Alagie, now that I have fully established your true identity, consider this debate closed, atleast from my end till whenever you come to the Gambia again. Have a good day, Gassa. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>> To view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] <<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>//\\<<//\\>>
