Dear America

I always wanted to say that :-)

Anyway, I have learned a few things about Americans while here in DC.

Its been a beautiful experience.

The public transport system is amazing, but someone needs to build the Americans faster escalators. Don't get me wrong, they work just great, especially in the subway, but these Americans can't just stand in one place and wait for the escalators to reach the destination, they are always running up and down the escalators!

Relax, Dear Americans, unless the escalators is part of your work out..take a break, stop...for a minute or two..or take the stairs....

    DC is unique in having a great urban train metro system, that does not extend to other American cities

    Do you mean elevators or escalators? Life is fast on this side of town, no one has time to wait in one place. If you can save a minute and put it to good use why not.

    Dear American ( anonymous) I loved DC. And yes, escalators. Not elevators. Thank you.

An Open Letter to Prof Makau Mutua, keep your predictions to yourself.

Dear Prof. Makau Mutua, “I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me.

What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye Prof, you and J.D Salinger clearly share no beliefs. And maybe you shouldn’t. But I feel that you would be the man with an evil laugh pushing the thousands of little children off the cliff. Let me explain. Your tweet on the 23rd of Dec 2012,in Buffalo, New York "@makaumutua I predict a military coup in Kenya after t...

THE RICH AND THE REST: The Kenyan Story.

Aiming high! A recent title of the Economist publication read “The Rich and the Rest’. Before we get prejudicial as most of us do, I do not buy the economist on a weekly basis, sometimes almost never, I’d love to, but it’s an expensive habit to maintain. My former boss got me hooked though and once in a while, I will attempt to steal a copy, or go online to their website which has also now been squeezed to subscribers who can access it once they’ve paid for the 'Premium articles'. But this time, I painfully bought a copy, only because of its title; 'The Rich and the Rest. The special report on this edition focused on what they referred to as ‘The few’ then stratified into other sections such as 'More Millionaires than Australians’. The world’s water coolers – where the influential people meet and talk, ‘The Global campus- The best universities now have worldwide reach.' As I buried my head in the pages, Kenya’s rich (elite) made little flashes in my mind, ...
