Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - My Own Symbols And Icons Of Democracy ( Do Not Laugh Please)

These are loaded names.

Can you realistically claim to be satirical simply by dropping those names and doing no more?

I am with Chidi on 'because I was expecting a thin description of these characters at the minimum ("[t]he histories and aspirations of these people are so different"), and at best, a thick historical piece that examines these characters and their contributions to the the present 'state of the nation.' I am still expectant though."

i beg, try and give us something.

your poetic response, including using pidgin English, would be welcome

something must have tickled you about those particular names.

thanks

That piece was a joke(satire), hence the LOL (Lots of Laugh), so do not expect anything more. I think I should stop doing satires here, but satires are a reflection of my Arugo Motor Park background.

Since all kinds of people are being paraded here as Icons and symbols of democracy, why can't I parade those characters as my own Icons and symbols of democracy(LOL)

The histories and aspirations of these people are so different.

Can you explain why they are your democracy icons?
