Geeplay’s chronicle: Thoughts and after thoughts
Written by Ralph Geeplay   
Monday, 17 December 2007
thinking-man.pngThis is not your usual article. I just wanted to talk-write and give my views on some issues as 2008 looms, as if I was writing a blog. Matter of fact I am hoping I can start a blog in 2008 to afford myself the opportunity to comment on the socio-economic political dynamics that are shaping modern day Liberia. A lot of stuff is not being said and I am to a degree disappointed in the Liberian media with little exception though. I might title my blog The Geeplay Chronicle. Or simply something outrageous like Fufu pawpaw and Juju, now that’s funny.

Is President Sirleaf's Experience an Obstacle to New Policy?
Written by J. Yanqui Zaza   
Friday, 14 December 2007
sirleafcorruptionDuring the 2005 elections, experience, which became a pivotal factor in the determining the winner, is once again emerging, except that the experience of our President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf will not help her government in instituting a people’s policy. Experience, according to the former U. S. President John F. Kennedy, “is like taillights on a boat which illuminate where we have been when should be focusing on where we should be going.”

Grand Gedeh Association Pays Tribute to One of Liberia’s Great Educators
Written by Henry K. Glay, GGA America   
Thursday, 13 December 2007
cscooperIn every culture, in every age and in every civilization, ancient philosophers informed us that great souls are born in order to address the sufferings of others. These souls in their quest to be of service to their brothers and sisters provide light and inspiration. These personalities do possess great knowledge, but yet are people of little financial and material means. They possessed inner determination to help others or to do those things that will help to enlighten the minds of others.

 -A Pacesetter riddled with bullets; Bryant, the artificial lamb

Disc A of the movie, Desperate Billionaires has just ended, and like every comic-tragedy film, there were tears and joys. The debate nevertheless continues in street corners, and various corridors erect defenses and advance offenses characteristic of any fray that leaves public opinion divided along controversial lines. And, too-smart actors have just been given a boorish awakening too; their dipped out thousands used to get hold of the most sophisticated weapons to slay hundreds of thousands but could not get the job done except thru the Accra-derived comprehensive peace agreement on Liberia.

perspectiveThe Perspective & an American Paratrooper.

PART I.

From Newspapers, Television, Radio and the Internet, Journalism has come to be redefined in contrast to its early inception. One cannot stay with a particular story for a long time-all day- perhaps, not considering when you have to rush to watch Headline News,  Breaking News from CNN, Fox News,  ABC News or perhaps NBC Meet The Press, since the world is now in a pitch fever for the next  Presidential Election, especially when a candidate of African decent, Illinois Senator , Barrack Obama, a son of a Kenyan  Professor, stands to actually define ‘Race Relations'  in America -delivering to us significant events and flashpoints from around the world.

Support our democracy
Written by Raymond Sumo   
Thursday, 06 December 2007

weah_clivemason_150x200I sometimes wonder, if Mr. George Oppong Weah had won the 2005 general election where will Liberia be today, economically and in terms of the rule of law? The Liberian President has been accused of traveling the world over, but I believe that her traveling has brought us good dividends and there are more dividends in the pipeline. I don't mean to question the integrity and capability of Mr. Weah, but if President Sirleaf who worked in the system she is now begging on behalf of Liberia, this task could have even be much harder for Mr. Weah because the international community must believe in what you are telling them, and also they must believe that you are credible by example.

cdc_logo.....Mr. Bangalu, like the now reinstated Macdonald Wento, is a victim of Mr. Weah’s usual practice of dictating the pace of the party, throwing out party members who will not be dragged along in his personal quests and aspirations.

Debt Relief Puts The Cart Before The Horse
Written by T. Q. Harris, Jr   
Tuesday, 04 December 2007
sirleaf7The Sirleaf administration from the very beginning got off to a bad start. Now the President seems unwilling to reverse course in spite of obvious difficulties in jumpstarting the highly anticipated recovery. Her decision to downsize civil servants before upping private sector employment was a wrong move considering the 85% unemployment rate. Similarly, the decision to dissolve the national army and retrench veteran police and security officers was misguided. Not to mention, the large sums of money being spend to court investors before bringing crime under control.

Technology is the Root of All Evil
Written by Philip Emeagwali   
Tuesday, 04 December 2007
slaveryAccording to history books, gun-wielding European slave traders kidnapped one in five Africans and transported them across the oceans to the Americas. A less visible, but no means less drastic technological tool of suppression, is the compass, a device used worldwide for navigation. In the same way that Britain used its maritime knowledge and the US harnessed its intellectual capital to rule the world, the early slave traders used the simple compass to wreak havoc on civilization.
