The absense of morality Print E-mail

goodsamaritan“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.” ~  Oscar Wilde

Ladies and Gentlemen I have been away for a long while; however, last year 20008, at the end of the  year and the eve of 2009  I visited a church for the new year celebration many of my friends said let us stay home and buy beers to watch the new years celebration at the New York time square look at the thousand lights bulls raised by I refuse to do so and went to worship my God.  When I entered into the church the choir begin to sing a song called "Try a little kindness...."

Shifting the rice mentality. Print E-mail

 potatoes-01A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. Albert Einstein

Rice has led to major issues in our nation it is time to shift from rice to another staple.

I suggest that Liberians move from rice to Potato as a staple. Potato which originated in the highlands of South America has been consumed for more than 8000 years. Potatoes are easily grown and harvested, and should become a staple instead of the dependence on rice – which is tedious, difficult and takes a longer time to grow.

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Humans, unlike animals, are self-conscious.

Humans are aware that they are alive and that they must die, and because they are self- conscious they are not only aware of living, but of living well or badly. Life is not wholly something that happens to humans: it is something humans engage in according to values chosen.

 Look for me in the whirl wind....by Mr. Marcus Garvey

Mr. Lacretia Charlene Rockmore said, "many years ago we blacks fell asleep by the sedative of the superman, but the mystic magic of nature wand says awake and rise again. Too long has thou slumbered, too long has time passed you by, your work on earth is delinquent and you cannot reign on high. If it's true that you've awaken, good for you, but your work has just begun, because thy  brother needs awakening too, touch him softly, gently, aportion of thy light to him give, and the mystic magic of your touch will cause him to look and live"

The soil is a bank: Invest in it. Print E-mail
Sunday, 22 July 2007

 I've learned that the people in the interior of the counties are coming to Monrovia to buy food. Is isn't that insanity?

Our people need to realize that they need to stop that patronage mentality and get back to work. My father told me  that everybody wants to come to Monrovia, but not all of them have the resources to live there. Ellen should send these people back to their villages and towns so that they can help grow food for their people. Just imagine the people in the interior parts of the most developed nations awaiting for the people living in the cities to grow and sale food to them.
