Bwana Mulindwa, I agree with most of your analysis especially regarding M-7's utterances which are extremely economical on the TRUTH.
But on the inability of Ugandans to be critical thinkers, I think you are generalising too much. What I personally have observed to be the major problem with the political elite is SELF INTEREST. People deliberately refuse to "think" or think 'backwardly' and make utterances which make you wonder whether your ears served you well. Otherwise, can you explain to me how a person calling him/herself a "professor" can make some of the statements I've heard recently from our professors in M-7's regime in support of the 5th term (25 years in power) ? It is SELF INTEREST rather than inability to be analytical. But since you are in North America, can you help me by telling me how much this gorilla called Humvee costs (bullet-proof, TV, fridge, communication equipment, parachute, open roof for papachuting in case all fails, etc). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Mulindwa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Nyende" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 02:26 Subject: Re: [Ugnet] RE: SQUANDERING NATIONS' RESOURCES ONLY ON SELF > Mwaami Nyende > > The problem we must make public again and again is a simple fact that > Ugandans are not critical thinkers.
