A disclaimer and An Appeal!!

The post about gay chaps (see below) got me thinking about freedom of speech, it ain’t something we should take for granted. For example in Rwanda, you can say ANYTHING you want about the President, as long as you have already started the engine of your getaway plane.

Uganda has some degree of freedom of speech, so if you want asylum, you are better off using the gay card than the freedom of speech one, as long as you ain’t the author of radio katwe.com.

Or better yet, the trick that chaps have been using of late to get into the UK or US at whatever cost (selling land and giving the money to a pastor to pray for a visa among others), fellas have been putting their pictures in the papers with the caption “Wanted”, then take the papers to the press, claiming they have been attached to a certain rebel group, and this picture was the evidence. The trick worked, for about 2 years. It’s possible that if slave ships returned to the coast of East Africa, chaps would WILLINGLY fill them up, no need for chains and stuff.

That was just a disclaimer, in case someone gets offended by the gay post, they are human too, you know!

So, fellow humans, lets do something for the victims of the Budduda landslides, the smallest contribution, even a bedsheet, goes a LONG way in helping a single person. The Red Cross am sure is gathering alms for our brothers and sisters in Budduda, plus, a couple of chaps I know are collecting whatever u have at East Kololo Primary School field tomorrow between 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm. I know, where the hell is this school?? Never to know it either!! And at 5.30 to 7.30 when the traffic jam is on like a problem? We shall find other ways to get the help they deserve, hope the Uganda government shall contribute more than the 100,000 dollars they sent to Haiti!
But, in whatever u do, find a way, get that old bedsheet, that old towel, those old shoes (not stilettos) and save a life.

Ana-fortunat-ry, the chaps that be collecting these alms have corporatal jobs, they are not bosses as they wish they could.

But, as they say, it's the thought that counts.
