No not from the Twitter (pick a color) Team
I received a Facebook message from Garsen Subramoney someone I know through Facebook and Twitter. he contacted me on quite a serious subject actually, not the inane Ze Frank initiated color team war meme on Twitter. In fact this involves the future of a young democracy, one of the few hopeful spots in a a troubled continent: Africa. In this case South Africa-Garsen’s country. It is quite concerning and maybe merits you reading of the article in it’s entirety.
It seems that the world has a series of challenging forces and factors to deal with: presidential elections in Taiwan and USA, Tibet pushing against Beijing control, and now this political change for the worse in South Africa. Let us be aware of these places and issues and do what ever we can in what ever way we can to try to make a difference. Many would say why bother in this corrupt dystopian world we live in? I’d say that partial idealism is much more hopeful and potentially helpful than complete apathy.
