Pains of Airborne Conversation
Written by Ernest S.Maximore   
Thursday, 02 September 2010
In my airborne conversations, I have had the opportunity to talk on various issues and with personalities, some familiar relations and some temporary acquaintances. And our subject of discussions have often been turbulent fright, taste of the food served on board, establishing casual friendship, explaining some points from books read and sharing the fun from “Tom and Jerry” or “Mr. Beans” videos.

ULAAs Elections in Minnesota

I Will Not Attend, Honor and Support Any of the Two Separate ULAAs Elections in Minnesota
Position Statement

Fellow Liberians, family and friends, as you may know, the Union of Liberian Associations in the Americas (ULAA) is currently divided into two groups as a result of infighting. One group is called ULAA-K, which is headed by Mr. Anthony Kesselly and the other group is called ULAA-S, which is headed by Dr. Mariah Seton and Mr. James Larsah, Jr. Many efforts have been made by Liberians to once again unite the organization into one.

 The Mis-education of my Cousin

The young man awoke to the sounds of birds chipping in the dawn and insects bellowing in the far away swamps. He slowly opened his eyes and lay back on the bed. His Najsla was sleeping softly and soundly beside him. Feeling him move, she snuggled closer to him as if to be a part of his flesh.

The calamitous legacy of our senseless civil wars
Written by Daoda Socrates Carlon   
Tuesday, 24 August 2010
liberia_grxI had just got through eaten my usual breakfast—refined farina, commonly known as creamy wheat with a loaf of bread jammed with fried chicken eggs, tomato checkup, and mayonnaise. Why waiting for proper digestion in my rented one room apartment, I started to think about the ugly past and its calamitous legacy that it has left with both the youth’s and adult’s communities of Liberia.  Realistically one may think that I have mentioned this to boast of the kind of breakfast that I eat. Certainly that will be the Levites’ way of thinking.

 1935-2010: A TRIBUTE 

As Liberia mourns the passing of a distinguished son and as we join in condolences to family and friends, the passing of Professor David Kpomakpor is  a teachable moment for the nation. In his own words:  “May the life I live speak for me,” a most fitting epitaph  that speaks volumes.

Grow a pair, CDC
Written by Ben Tee Browne, Sr.   
Tuesday, 24 August 2010
cdc2Come closer let me whisper to you. Bring the screen closer and read slowly. CDCians needs to grow a pair and tell us what they will do differently from the status quo if given state power in Liberia. Since the emergence of the Center for Democratic Change (CDC) on the political scene in Liberia, I’ve continue to question some of the founders’ motives and what sets the party apart from what Liberians are used to?
