I just found this blog, but I hope you start it up again. It’s very powerful-the style and the content. I love the brutal rawness you discuss your background in Africa. There something so similar to my story though the details are different. As for this post, It’s funny how we can be aware of the statistics neglected children, but then it will be one random child who for some reason haunts you…in some tired way…

Comment on Gun control for idiots by Ferdinandebull

The problem is not the guns we have constitutional protected rights in the USA. Frankly I could give a shit about gun crime in Mexico or Canada .

But your mother shooting herself was horrible. My cousin hung himself. A lot of people hang themselves. Kids get strangled in blind cords. It is horrible those evil rope and cordage owning people…..

An object is an object. I hunt I target, I carry a gun for a living. My guns are perfectly safe. And protected by 200 plus years of

Comment on How I love my wife by Uchenna_girl

Beautiful! I’ve being searching online for a post like this and all I could find was: I care for my wife but I love another woman, I don’t love her anymore and more. It’s nice to find posts that still hold on to marriage. I appreciate this post even more than love-at-first-sight posts, love-but-can’t-have-her-posts and even cute-pre-marriage-love posts because this shows that love can exist even long after marriage. Thanks for posting!

I want truly thank you for this post. I am a young African myself graduating from college in 15 days and I am at that critical stage where by I need to make a choice of whether to enter the humanitarian career path or just go to law school and be a soccer mum worrying about my children in a small town.
Its tough out there and am ready for a rest. Law school here I come…

But there is a lot going on, especially in South Africa. I’m just a humble reporter for a community newspaper but we’ve started using social media, and there is a groundswell of community upliftment. It’s not all bad, and you’re not alone

An excellent entry.

Its such a pity how all these incredible advances in technology seem to serve more as a distraction to the masses then offer any progress in the global standard of living.

I agree – the system needs to change (as you have said), but as the fortunate few would lose their current comfortable position in the system, change seems unlikely.

Im reading 1984 by George Orwell again and its too terrifying how appropriate his views are still today.

At least one is fortunate enough to stumble over a blog they agree with, by a fellow Saffer, from a different generation, with a great world-view.

Thank you.

Hey! It’s been a while. Hope you are doing well! But I’ve felt the fire slowly coming back. Not there yet but as long as Glenn Beck talks the more worked up I get. Almost time to come back more often. Maybe pick up on the blogging again?

Very true. Oxfam is a great organization. The world will look a lot different if it wasn’t for them. We are blessed to have them. It was a mistake, a personal one, but not an indication of how they are in general. Great place to work otherwise. I enjoyed every moment of my time there – the good times and the tough times. Passionate people make for an interesting and challenging workplace. Wouldn’t want it any other way!
