Hi Gary. I see you are in a talkative mood today. > Are things are pretty bad in SA? Maybe only in my mind. How does one really know? I'm particularly pissed off with the racist policies of the present government who, in their self-righteousness but possibly with some justification because of past policies of the previous regime, are doing their best to drive whites out of higher learning, out of employment and out of business. Meanwhile, it's the whites who make business and the professions and who understand it. So what is happening, IMO, is that for moral reasons this government is busy destroying the means of salvation for the blacks (and the whites). Everyday the newspapers are full of this Black Economic Empowerment crap. There are now a multitude of laws to enforce it and businesses which don't comply are subject to heavy fines. Of course, when I talk to people around the place, many are so full of this black socialist nonsense that they can't see the implications of what is happening. They say one has to be "positive". If I hear that word again I'll puke. It's amazing how stupid people everywhere have become. Meanwhile, others, like hundreds of thousands before them, just simply leave. I'm too old to, so I just have to put up with it --- and gripe.
