@Thea. Do you have a shrunken head? That country? What country are you talking about? Africa isn’t a country you know. And no – I don’t have a shrunken head. And I am not petty. And I am not dishonest. I’ll give you the intellect bit though. But saying that Bush was the hero in Africa is missing the bigger point of what Africa needs. He did some good – and I’ll give him that. But he is no saviour of Africa. Maybe if he starts going for free trade (including in agriculture) we can start talking. Or when he stops protecting pharma’s instead of those who are dying of illness. But hand-outs just doesn’t do it for us in Africa. We welcome the help. But we would rather fish than receive the fish thank you.

And don’t hide behind the “they are liberals” comment. I won’t call you names if you don’t call me names. I’ve heard it. And guess what. It doesn’t hurt me. And neither does it make an argument if you just call people names.

On the Africa is a country bit. http://angryafrican.net/2008/04/05/my-beloved-country-called-africa/
