Mwemsjo's random paragraph: Politics...Everyone has an opinion, don't even act like you don't.


Sensitive as it may be especially in Kenya-I'm going to pen a thought or two on yes...siasa. I think the worst thing any Kenyan can do is not voice their opinion about our Geopolitics. GeoPolitics refers to the art and practice of analyzing, proscribing, forecasting, and the using of political power over a given territory. The sad part for me especially is how when any Kenyan opens his or her voice to speak on matters politics, with the utterance of the first 3 sentences, you immediately know their political inclinations. In my opinion that's a good thing and a bad thing. The propaganda notwithstanding, human beings are by nature political creatures. Indeed there are very few apolitical Kenyans- which is the apathy or no anti-pathy towards all political affiliations. Most of those who think they're apolitical have this definition applying to them-a reference to situations in which people take an unbiased position in regard to political matters. All in all wherever you belong; liberal, democrat, communist, socialist or an independent thinker the worst place you can be is not vocal. As a Kenyan my punchline to my blog readers ends with a quote from Edmund Burke-''All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing''. Have a great week ahead.
