All..
I met a fella over the weekend from Zimbabwe, cant pronounce his real name but I call him Ozy, anyway I have spent a long time talking....well listening, to him & what an interesting & nice chap he is.
he has been here for 2 years now, he is just 21, & obviously cannot go back to his homeland at this time as he will be killed. he talked a lot about the current situation in Zimbabwe, like how u cannot mention your disagreement with the government or u will be thrown in jail........& much more!
anyway I will not go on, my point is this, his hatred for the current leadership was obvious......he even had tears in his eyes, though smiling, while he was talking about the conditions in the prison.....keep in mind I had only known him for a few hours, BUT he told me all this without sarcasm, abuse & voiced bitterness( though I imagine he is bitter deep down & who could blame him).........then I read some of the things on this board.
how easily we take our freedoms for granted, abuse them & turn them against each other......I wonder if someone Like Ozy would do the same.........I would hope not & very much doubt it.
I have said this before but it cannot do any harm to say it again
