Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] My Thoughts on A Way Out of The Murky Internet Fiasco

I have always maintained, Kenyans need to learn to stop cheering
magicians and start respecting builders. As a country, we cheer whenever
anyone says that "...all we need is do a b c and everything will
change,..overnight!" We then issue blame around as though we had paid
for a magic show when it doesn't happen overnight. Real progress, change
or development is built, building needs time, effort, focus, discipline,
energy and a reason. Builders must get more respect and understanding
from us because at the end of the day a magic trick will fade away by
the end of the night - and it was a trick (it didnt really happen)...but
the building will last a life-time
