Quote Of The Century II

I believe this is from the Lon­don Times.
South Africa is the only coun­try in the world where affir­ma­tive action isin the favour of the major­ity who has com­plete polit­i­cal con­trol. The fact­that the polit­i­cal major­ity requires affir­ma­tive action to pro­tect thema­gainst a 9% minor­ity group is tes­ta­ment to a com­plete fail­ure on their­part to build their own wealth mak­ing struc­tures, such that their only solu­tio­nis to take it from others.

QUOTE OF THE CENTURY

Some peo­ple have the vocab­u­lary to sum up things in a way you can under­stand them. This quote came from the Czech Repub­lic. Some­one over there has it fig­ured out.

The dan­ger to South Africa is not Jacob Zuma but a cit­i­zenry capa­ble of entrust­ing a man like him with the Pres­i­dency. It will be far eas­ier to limit and undo the fol­lies of a Zuma pres­i­dency than to restore the nec­es­sary com­mon sense and good judg­ment to a depraved elec­torate will­ing to have such a man for their pres­i­dent. The prob­lem is much deeper and far more seri­ous than Mr. Zuma, who is a mere symp­tom of what ails South Africa.

Blam­ing the prince of the fools should not blind any­one to the vast con­fed­er­acy of fools that made him their prince. The Repub­lic can sur­vive a Jacob Zuma, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to sur­vive a mul­ti­tude of fools such as those who made him their President.”
