Some folks will get punched in the face multiple times before we can reach a national definition for democracy, watch it! And I mean democracy with all its attendant responsibilities, rights, privileges, freedoms and caveats.
But I guess that's the process of change for you, especially coming from a long-term idiocracy to democracy. There will be moments of doubt, insecurity, and disorientation. However, it's easier to get along when everyone in it is getting ahead, pretty much.
Question is: how quickly possible is that in this "New Gambia" where individual interest is confused with commitment, where party battles, cultural adamance, pseudo-intellectuals, academic hubris and crassitude keep asunder every bomboclaat proposal for consideration?
No wonder we agonise more than we organise, and so gradually becoming a nation convulsed by political agony; isn't that sad?
