I guess it's already clear what my theme is going to be. POLITICS!! I love politics, like I already stated in the last posting,I have this undying passion for it. the best part is that, there is always something happening in the world, it never gets boring. If it's not in the Middle East, than it's in the States. And on that , it's "SUPER TUESDAY" tomorrow, in the States... but according to looks of things, Obama is winning already, he is in the lead so far, even though there are ties in some states. The delays in voting are going to make it difficult for the elderly because of the long queuing lines. Even though the results aren't out yet, there are demands already for the next one...So we will have to wait and see what happens...
Well well well, what can i say, english has never been my favourite subject, i dont know if it iwas the teachers way of teaching or what, but i felt as though they never taught us anything but just just the tense..Its as if I taught myself how to speak the language, as I am from a tswana speaking family, what I mean is that at home it is strictly Setswana no English at all, even at school the whole english policy nonsense never worked for some of us. I would get beaten all the time for speaking setswana at school to a point where every morning, i would just wait for the teacher to come and give me my 6 lashes just so that they do not bother me during classes. To me as long as i knew the basics,reading and writing, and being able to converse, i dont know why they stressed over it much,even though it was helpful, i found it boring, for them to force us something we did want to learn...being stubborn about it helped me though, even though i was forever bruised!!!
Just days before the presidential elections are said to take place in the States, there have already been a lot of tension between the two candidates being Obama and McCain. It is believed that there are a couple of personal vendettas springing up, which is not what the Americans want to see just days before "the elections". But at least for Obama things are turning out well for him as it is evident that Barack is winnign so far, to an extent that former US President Bill Clinton will be joining him in the state of Florida for hiscampaign, considering the fact that at first he was against him, but now that he realises that he might be what America needs now, he wants to be part of that CHANGE... classy move Bill!!!!Whether it's the poverty exposed by Katrina, the genocide in Darfur, or the role of faith in our politics, Barack Obama continues to speak out on the issues that will define America in the 21st century, that is the change that he is forever preaching about. I hope he makes it on the 4th of November, we'l keep our fingers crossed for him...GO BARACK GO!!! i believe that maintaining the status-quo before the Bush administration is what Bill Clinton wants to see happen in the USA.
Politics have a huge impact on our daily lives. Because it deals with important political ideologies, the different political systems, great political thinkers such as Karl Marx, Plato, and Aristotle etc, it makes politics a diverse and exciting subject to study. I am wildly passionate about politics, to a point where I feel small minded and idoitic at times. I feel as if those who dont share the same political ideas as me are, either evil,uneducated or even selfserving, and can discredit them at every turn. A politician's power is largely rooted in their ability to influence other politcian's.To me, this crazy passion for politics is strongly driven by the likes of Ms. Najma Heptulla, who became elected as the first women President of the Inter Parliamentary Council. The likes of Helen Johnson Sir-leaf who was Africa's first female president in Liberia, and Condoleezza Rice, who became the 66th U.S Secretary of State. I have this storng belief that if these women made it in politics , then what on earth could stop me from getting there too. POLITICS, thats where my passion lies..
