Badou de Kaolack, there you are. I didn't know you were taking a week to share this brilliance with us.

I read your notes in their entirety and I have redacted the significant parts. Before I begin, I'd like to share a consternation I have with your laziness. You were troubled variously about the accuracy of a certain map for your children and grandchildren, but you omitted to begin making the map. WHy would you worry yourself about the accuracy of someone else's map for your children and grandchildren??????? You don't see us relying on the accuracy of yourmap for our children and grandchildren, do you???

Having urged you into making a map for you, I shall share some ideas with you regarding the incongruent gibberish below:

[In a message dated 12/30/2010 3:54:57 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: Our view of reality in this compromise is like a map with which to negotiate the terrain of a prosperous life for our children, grandchildren and for ourselves.] BDK

We understand you refer to AGENDA 2020 for you and yours. View and map are used interchangeably here.

[If the map is is true and accurate , we will generally know where we are , and if we have decided where we want to go, we will virtually know how to get there. If the map is false and inaccurate , we generally will be lost and become failed people.] BDK.

I agree with you Badou de Kaolack. I encourage you to review your map therefore. I have a map to make for my children and grandchildren. I will review that thoroughly to make sure it is accurate.

[We are all aware that the voting system in the Gambia has been manipulate just to suit the whims and caprices of King Williams professor Jammeh with a simple majority. There is no second round, so why do folks cling to the idea of majority Party?] BDK.

Manipulated. The idea of majority party issues from majority will and desire. It is desired that after you and I make our maps and certified their accuracies for our families, and if the horizons of our destinations (views, maps) leads us to a common destination, we use economies of scale and association and synthesize our maps (views) for efficient travels sakes. That is the idea behind majority party. The survey party. Now do you have an idea for common exploration BDK??? Please share that with us or go away or stow away. BTW how's the container business coming? How do we know you're not shipping arms and munitions to begin a rebellion in Kaolack? We're not convinced as uncle Mose is wont to quip. Convince us. We must be convinced if we are to join you in your expeditions.

[Therefore, they must impose and condition smaller parties to join them.] BDK.

Ain't no imposing here. You either accept our travel log or you suggest a more plausible one. One that all our children and grandchildren can be proud of, not just yours.

[What is more beautiful than joining together only for 2 years and then all of you go to your individual parties to context for election?] BDK.

Contest. Join together to do what in 2 years???????????? Why not one year, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years? And why entice us to go our separate ways after we "unite" for those however many years???????? You're worrying about the wrong things. The number of years we should stay "united". For what???? I would figure out first why I want to travel with you and to where?

[Is it that our future leaders do not care or proud of leaving a legacy behind them?] BDK.

Again, you worry about the wrong things. With this attitude, you may never make your map accurate and true. Even for yourself and your progeny. The leaders are our travel mates. They have children and grandchildren too like you and me. I don't know about leaving legacies and circumstance behind. I want my friggin legacy in front of my beautiful face. Talk about the OCCULT.

I love you BDK. Oh before I forget, the UDP rally in Brikama came after Hon. Halifa designated uncle Sidia as Negotiator/whatever for coalitions/alliances. And because I'm one of the nephews of Uncle Sidia, I demand that he make an accurate map for me first before I decide to join travel parties with you. I hope you demand the same from your uncle.

Haruna. Gone map-making. For my children and grandchildren.Don't use the protractor and plumb-bob at the same time. Don't let the door hit you as you exeunt.
