I don't watch the news. Only know what's going on in sports - from time to time. I may not be better than you, but I sure am happier. Sometimes, the only way to stop the noise is to keep your head in the sand. Sad, but true. I don’t read the papers. I don’t watch the news. Only know what’s going on in sports – from time to time.

I may not be better than you, but I sure am happier.

Sometimes, the only way to stop the noise is to keep your head in the sand.

Sad, but true.

Numbers 26:10 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that company died, when the fire devoured 250 men, so that they became a warning. Let it happen to the house... Sometimes I say God some people don’t have purpose to live why cant He just flush them away and give His people peace.

Can the country remain peaceful or is it headed for a violent disaster come 2012? So, after all this complaining, what do you think the Kenyan citizen will do? either before or after 2012?

Can the country remain peaceful or is it headed for a violent disaster come 2012?

I didn't say the politicians were right. I said, the regular people have the solutions. The point is to control what we can. And word of caution, anger is not part of the solution. - Take no bribes - Offer no bribes - Invest in knowledge (vs propaganda and bickering) - Once in a while go to parliament and ask questions and offer solutions - surprise them with a follow up in say 3-4 weeks - challenge rumors, ask for evidence and be prepared to admit when you've been wrong Here's what I know for sure. That many a good politician has been turned rogue by the negativity they face from the public. This is an ungrateful job. Which means they all turn inwards for support. And then the public becomes the enemy. We must open our eyes to the fruits of our actions and our labor. We can't always be pointing fingers. If we're at war with our politicians, then we're the enemy. we need to bridge this gap. That's why I say, quit bickering and sheep mentality politicking. Read, research, ask and be honest not emotional with observations and opinions. Understand that managing resources for a nation is not an easy task and appreciate the challenges. And then propose solutions. There's more where this is coming from. But this is supposed to be a comment, not a post. Now, now, angry Kenyans. I didn’t say the politicians were right.

Artfully put, yet succinct. I think there are points to both Mimmz' and 1.7's arguments. How many of us have bribed? How many of us REALLY are not tribal? The fact that our younger MP's are just as bad/worse than our older ones is clear evidence that our leaders are really a reflection of ourselves. A leader does not magically change on his ascendancy to power. What he/she always was only becomes more visible... ON THE OTHER HAND there is no justification for the wanton looting, dereliction of duty, slavery to ethnicity, and petty politicking that our leaders are currently exhibiting. And we had better cease to expect solutions from these chaps. To most of our leaders a failed state is one that can no longer be milked of its resources, either because those resources have run out or because its citizenry refuse to allow it. By that yardstick, Kenya is alive and well. Vintage M. Artfully put, yet succinct.
