well this election week has been rather tumultous and i havent had time to post anything.also i am a bit worn out from my other postings and contribution to various forums.i managed to get some of my stuff published in a weekly financial gazzette in my home country.the situation in my native country grows more depressing with each passing day.they recently imprisoned an opposition party legislator on trumped up charges.it seems that whilst democracy never is cheap, the price it asks of some of us is great.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3965615.stm
