For on the other hand I don't believe in majority rule in the UK. Most of the population are morons and they are doing their best to destroy this country. Because the majority of this country are white that is not a racist statement.




Hilariously true.

Issues of land use and management are very complicated in all nations but in Africa very much so, as the masses are often landless and attempts at land redistribution fail due to a whole host of reasons involving total lack of land management skills, education, etc of those who receive land grants. Land management always comes under attack by those who don't own or control it. Sorry Bramble for bringing in the Bible, but the Scripture warns against making a poor man a king.

There are those who condemn {some in public forum of the local newspaper} my management of my own land here in Idaho, specifically when I had to shoot some elk to protect some fields. Everybody always thinks they know better and are entitled to the harvest, whether they contributed to the sowing or not. Henny Penny.

I spent ten years of my life studying the history and politics of southern Africa and lived in RSA in 1988 and 1989. Having travelled in Central and East Africa prior to, I did and still do make the statement that were I to have been a "black" and had to pick a country in which to live in Africa in 1989, I would have picked "Apartheid South Africa".

Because South Africa was a model of peace, prosperity and justice?

Not on your life.

Because it was the least bad of all the options I had visited or read about! South Africa under "Van" was a totally unjust system that in its injustice provided more opportunity and justice for the average black man than any black African country I am aware of.

Frankly, I always felt that had the National Party had about 20 more years power in South Africa, the transition to majority rule would have been far smoother than it turned out. Not perfect, but much better. Everybody pretty much saw the handwriting on the wall. Change had to come. It had to be.

Hunting is only one small issue in a world of issues.

One thing I can tell you. I was consistently disgusted with the rank and file of American tourists and hunters I met over there. Five minutes in the country and they were "Experts" on both the Afs and the Afrikaners, and almost always they popped off, sometimes quite loudly, about more or less what a bunch of niggers were running around aimlessly, all the time smirking about the knuckledragging Afrikaners who kept the niggers down, i.e., taking the very common Anglo highminded attitude that clung to the benefits of apartheid while condemning the folks who made it so. I got so as soon as I heard an American accent I left the room.

FW deClerk once made a statement that someday the National Party would rise again and this time it would be with the support of the black population. Who knows, maybe something of the sort will occur. RSA is a mess. As for the swarming black masses, with 35-40% HIV infection nationally and little hope of a medical solution and ultimately unless sexual practices radically change and fast, in a generation or two there just may be lots of new land available on which to expand and reestablish game populations!

To bring up God again, one of the Scriptural curses of disobedience to his moral law is that the land will be overcome with wild animals. Kinda makes me reflect...
