How very true, Justloadit! It's this very contempt that we must in earnest try to prevent..

41 Schools in the Northern Cape remain closed because of "service delivery" protests. Parents are preventing their own children to study because they have a gripe against government?! How crazy and stupid can you be?

I believe in cause and effect. Every action has a counter reaction. The effect of this is that they will stay disadvantaged for another 10 generations. Stupidity can not be taught.

Stupidity is encouraged which is sad. When will people learn the lessons and improve and change behaviour from mistakes. To me it looks like never.

Stupidity can not be taught.

When stupid people teach then stupidity is taught.

The cANCer teaches stupidity every day, so do many of the unions and so do many teachers.

When you teach a child, or any person for that matter, to destroy their own infrastructure when they don't get their way then stupidity is taught. The cANCer taught the parents to do this against Apartheid and now the parents are teaching their children to do it against the cANCer. This is called the the cANCer cirle, stupidity goes round and round becomes more powerfull the faster it spins.

I have come across a few self mutilators and suicide threats in my life, it seems it is a desperate cry for attention.
If attention is not forthcoming the threat often gets carried out with tragic consequences.

I just fear that when the local township decides to carry out the threat it doesn't include me or mine.

This piece by Nic Dawes doesn't give much cause for optimism either.

Yes, it most certainly doesn't!

"It has happened to almost all the parties of uhuru – and it will happen here. Recent elections have begun to see the erosion of the ruling party's super-majority, and the near-daily uprisings we domesticate under the rubric of "service delivery protest" send a message that electoral choices are not yet capable of registering.
In the dust of the platinum belt we now have a stark illustration of how difficult, and how dangerous, this transition will be."

Aaah! you see, if you don't listen I will cut off your ears!!

I guess I'm going to be called naive, but for a while there I didn't think it was going to work out that way. I really had expected the ANC would have learned from the lessons so obvious elsewhere.
