Scores of children and babies have been locked up in filthy prison cells in Harare as Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe’s president, sinks to new depths in his campaign to force the opposition into exile before an expected run-off in presidential elections.
Twenty-four babies and 40 children under the age of six were among the 250 people rounded up in a raid on Friday, according to Nelson Chamisa, spokesman for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Yesterday they were crammed into cells in Southerton police station in central Harare.
“This is ruthlessness of the worst kind. How can you incarcerate children whose mothers have fled their homes hoping to give their children refuge?” asked an emotional Chamisa yesterday. “In Mugabe’s Zimbabwe even children are not spared the terror that befalls their parents.”.....
Jimmy Carter is arguably our worst president and a legitimate candidate for all-time super loser in the same sense that Chuck Darwin and Karl Marx are, i.e. the guy whose ****ed ideas have caused the most real harm in the world for no rational reason. His most major accomplishments in life are the present situations in Iran and Rhodesia, and having Chinese companies controlling the Panama canal.
Who is, or was, "Chuck" Darwin?
I just stopped into this thread to find out who "Mubage" is. Don't mind me. Please carry on with what you were doing.
I experienced the same puzzlement as you did, Joe, at least initially . . . but then, to my horror, i realized that i am familiar enough with what passes for a thought process at Gunga Din's house that i knew to whom he referred.
This suggests to me that i have read entirely too many of Gunga Din's posts, and need to take a long break.
