Mr. Dambisya:
Believe it or not, I know better than call you a complete imbecile! I also know that you love a good fight and I very much intend to give you one shortly.
Frankly I, too, do not see much merit in this Kanyeihamba debate. So I'll get back to presenting what Ibingira wrote about the UPC and Uganda's nemesis, Obote.
Ssemakula
have made any statements, anywhere, accusing you of having a "pathological condition" of any sort, if so I'd surprise even myself!
I am unbothered that you are "not terribly fond of Obote", why should
you be? You are entitled to your description of Obote as you see it fit, as you elaborate, he has earned such characterisation(s). In any case, your saying that need not substract from the substance of your postings. One only hopes that your lack of fondness for Obote will not become the blinders you are so quick to notice on others' eyes when they try to look back at Uganda history.If I knew that posting parts of Kanyeihamba's book would have that kind of effect on you, I'd have thought more carefully before doing so, then I'd have been more prepared for your onslaught. As it were, I sent in that posting while waiting for you to "reveal" more about Obote who you wanted me to defend. Since I love a good fight, I accepted your challenge. Instead, we've started going around in circles over which author is the "real ?Macoy" on these issues. As far as I am concerned, no single author will give us everything. The question of whether Obote singlehandedly destroyed Uganda's future is one even your grandchildren's grandchildren will not resolve, but that should not stop you from trying to impose your will on everyone else. Elsewhere, you provide a tutorial on sources, and their levels and
importance, and for that I thank you. What I shall not thank you for is the assumption you made that that was new knowledge.
I wanted to take exception to the "you folks" reference made to me, but then realised you must have meant it in good faith so no offense taken.
Just as long as you give allowance for the fact that I am not a complete imbecile who is incapable of seeing one or two things on my own, as an individual, blinkers notwithstanding.Now, may I suggest that you forget I brought up Kanyeihamba's book, and get back to the real challenge you set before me a few days ago.

You seem to have a pathological hatred for Obote. Why? embedded in writings of decades ago. See for instance: "..Perhaps this is a good moment to disentangle Obote's enemies. The Baganda were hostile almost solidly since the action over the lost counties. This was their main quarrel with him since independence................." The Kabaka of Buganda; Desecration of My Kingdom; Pg 183. Perhaps the quarrel continues! Best regards, Yoswa.Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE*
