Well, there was a joke in the former communist bloc where a man fleeing Poland and a man fleeing Russia met each other going in opposite directions. The Pole asked the Russian, "why are you leaving to Russia" and he said "all I want to do is talk, why are you leaving Poland?" and he said "all I want to do is eat" and they both continued on thier way.
I suspect people in Zimbabwe today wish they could either talk or eat. At least under Ian Smith most of them could eat. I mentioned him making me sad meaning that he must be laughing about how this all turned out.
Of all the post-colonial African disasters of the last 50 years the Zimbabwe story hurts me the most because they started out so well and had the least reasons to fail."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass

That is true. Rudder said he wrote that song after hearing some people talking about Haiti today and it was obvious that they knew nothing of the history behind it."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass
