after I wrote 'the balance', I had the edge to bring that into a relative context, I do think it's a bit broad.
but I have not fully formalised my thoughts --- and I do fear what I have in mind will lead to arguments, so I need to carve my thoughts proper.
till then, here is what I realised, I do think every year, I'll have to post something about 'race' and it's sister cousin: ism.
Sometime this week (or was it last week) the DA (Democratic Alliance) blamed the ANC (African National Congress) for the recession.
Really? I am mean, really?
Is that what opposition politics is about: blame the ruling party for any bad thing regardless?
Between the ANC and DA which party is most likely to push for:
open market; globalisation; liberation/deregulation/privatisation of services?
besides me thinking the DA is literally playing the right cards for the ANC to take the elections, again, come 2014, here is a quick question to the DA (and those that agree the ANC is at fault for recession):
If the people (US, EU) that carved and defined this open/free market capitalist economy are hit by the recession and are battling to solve it, and the very same people have pushed for every other country to join capitalism, how can we (South/Africa) be better off from it relative to the fact we have more social issues to solve before we can even think capitalism?
tsk, tsk, tsk.
1ove, continua.
