@ Phares Thats like a 6 year old kid saying when caught playing in the mud.� Hata nani alikuwa anafanya.. Doesn't make it right.� We must cast a stone and encourage them to cast one back at us.� In a perfect world that is. King'ori For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

Mechanics in Kenya expose themselves to hazardous carcinogenics everyday, when fixing our cars, but it's cool. People die building structures in Kenya, day in day out, no insurance, no safety equipment, but it's ok, we save a coin... My issue is that living in a country where we constantly benefit from the blood of others, can we really cast the first stone? -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki@gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares | _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AopdHkqSqKL-dHlQVTMxU1VBdU1BSWJxdy1f... ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke -- Victor Ngeny Mobile � +254751884373 � � GTalk: � �victormaritim � � � � �Twitter: � @ngeny Yahoo: � vikngne � � � � � � � � �Skype: � victor.ngeny << 2.dat >> -------------------------------------------------------------- Ovi Mail: Free email account from Nokia http://mail.ovi.com
