David Williamson,

Welcome to the increasing reality of African and Underdeveloped World
use of the internet! What? Should I not voice my/our concerns? 

Seriously, just browse CafeExpress.com - they have a section called
"Right-wing politics" t-shirts... easy to gloss over and chuckle about
if you're not being done in by the right-wing everyday.

Deal with it: Me and my people don't want it.

Shango 'Anikulapo' Oluwa.
