Scratch my back and I´ll scratch yours mister Obama

You know quite so often last year, I sat back and wondered Mr Obama
was getting so much stick from the very people that quite so vehemently put him in power just under a year back!, i even argued termagantly with a close friend that all this was simply hate and I sided with those who reasoned that he was under fire just for the co lour of his skin and that it hat nothing to do with his policies. well that is still a point of contention and until next time ill leave it baking in the oven.

Then came that rhetorical remark his excellency made a few days back, he seemed to ridicule at our values and our thoughts concerning homosexuality, according to him we cannot even justify debating it in parliament,we are too crude on the fellas and any more cuts in their pies will cost us serious aid. like they even cared! the aid from the united states does not even make 1% of the united states budget and they are cutting.

So here is what we shall do Mr president, if you want respect from us you must be willing to show us a little just a little, taking it from your own mouth "we will extend a hand if you unclench your fist"
let us be us,let us breath and dreamlike us, remove your chains from our feet,and let us walk!

    i found this stanza particularly fascinating...

    "So here is what we shall do Mr president, if you want respect from us you must be willing to show us a little just a little, taking it from your own mouth "we will extend a hand if you unclench your fist" ....(did u not mean.. round up lynch and kill where necessary perhaps?!???)

    tis' a touching statement and no doubt well meant but don't u sometimes feel there is simply enough hate in this world? wateva happened to the old adage LIVE & LET LIVE..?

    i suppose it's painfully obvious that am a liberal, but as i roam free i dream of that freedom for everyone, even those who don't subscribe to my idea of normalcy...

    (especially when the idea of normalcy is based on a convoluted religious interpretation of an IMPORTED faith that is no longer relevant to the said 'importers')

Just who do the Egyptians think they are eh?

Today I am going full bloodied on this because it is not only inhuman but absolute carnage by the Egyptians but also the people in bed with them over the Nile water sharing agreement!, but first the facts! 1. The Nile Water Agreement of 1929, granting Egypt the lion's share of the Nile waters, was drawn up at a time when Egypt was a British satellite, regarded as strategically crucial by London because of the Suez canal, which controlled access to India. The agreement is now in effect enforced by international donors, who are reluctant to advance funds for major river projects that will upset Egypt, a key Arab ally of the US in the Middle East. Sub-Saharan countries cannot match Egypt's diplomatic clout, but they face a dilemma as a major untapped resource rolls through their territories. "We have reached a stage where all the Nile basin countries are confronted by domestic development challenges," said Halifa Drammeh, a deputy director of the United Nations environme

About Religious fundamentalism!

Wikipedia refers to fundamentalism as a belief in a strict adherence to an established set of basic principles (often religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life. I on the other hand perceive it as a reluctance or better still the complete refusal to engage or in a mind set that is contradictory to your own. It is the extreme form of radicalism to me! Now in the last couple of days, President Barrack Hussein Obama ( as his tormentors so affectionately like to refer to him) has got the hard end of christian fundamentalists all over the world (but more so in the U.S) for his purported indifference at the proposed construction of a mosque right next to the site of the fateful September the 11th bombings in New york city. Because of that, a recent survey shows that 18% of Americans surveyed think President Obama is a Muslim, many argue that he is not in that case worthy to hold office simply because they believe to

Confessions of a non+alcoholic!

Some time last year I decided after what was fast becoming a pretty obvious pattern of life, that I needed to try something new, something different, I needed an experiment of some sort, only this time i was the guinea pig. So after a few moments of thought, well a little bit less than that I came to my decision, never mind the stark nudity in the social consequences involved. What I had decided on was alcohol, yes I know that sounds very wrong especially if you are me from even the most acute of angles but then again yes, besides this was an experiment and I could add purely for research reasons, as the Japanese say each time they are hunting our precious whales. Now obviously I was a very new entrant in the market but my knowledge for the drug was not of a new born, I knew a thing or two and that came in handy. On the few occasions when the 'laboratory 'was in good order I asked only for what the not so ordinary twenty something year old would define as the "sexy"
