Where will South Africans run when the same thing starts happening there ? Will they build arcs like Noah did ? Over the past 30 years I have watched the death of progress on the African continent. I have watched it flow slowly from the north. The stories come slowly because nobody really cares especially the news organizations. Now I ask, why should I care? The people of Zimbabwe have what they elected. When their president was expelling the minority and infrastructure of the country, where were thy? I would guess chanting singing and dancing in the streets. Well my friends it is time to reap what you sow. This is the life you have made for yourselves. We have a saying here in America, freedom ai'nt free baby.
