I received anonymously the following text by a Zimbabwan
lawyer:
1. Imagine that we read of an election occurring anywhere in the third world in which the self-declared winner was the son of the former prime minister and that former prime minister was himself the former head of that nation's secret police. 2. Imagine that the self-declared winner lost the popular vote but won based on some old colonial holdover (electoral college) from the nation's pre-democracy past. 3. Imagine that the self-declared winner's 'victory' turned on disputed votes cast in a province governed by his brother. 4. Imagine that the poorly drafted ballots of one district, a district heavily favoring the self-declared winner's opponent, led thousands of voters to vote for the wrong candidate. 5. Imagine that members of that nations' black minority, fearing for their lives/livelihoods, turned out in record numbers to vote in near-universal opposition to the self-declared winner's candidacy. 6. Imagine that hundreds of members of that nation's black minority were intercepted on their way to the polls by state police operating under the authority of the self-declared winner's brother. 7. Imagine that six million people voted in the disputed province and that the self-declared winner's 'lead' was only 537 votes. Fewer, certainly, than the vote counting machines' margin of error. 8. Imagine that the self-declared winner and his political party opposed a more careful by-hand inspection and re-counting of the ballots in the disputed province or in its mostly hotly disputed district. 9. Imagine that the self-declared winner, himself a governor of a major province, had the worst human rights record of any province in his nation and actually led the nation in executions. 10. Imagine that a major campaign promise of the self-declared winner was to appoint like-minded human rights violators to lifetime positions on the high court of that nation. None of us would deem such an election to be representative of anything other than the self-declared winner's will-to-power. All of us, I imagine, would wearily turn the page thinking that it was another sad tale of pitiful pre- or anti-democracy peoples in some strange world country. Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living, Volume II Chapter 13 Of Speaking Decide to Speak (Poem written by Robert Muller) Use well this greatest gift of God Speak clearly, beautifully, convincingly Put all your heart, mind and soul in what you say Make any conversation, talk or speech A magnificent fruit of your life Elevate, inspire, render happy those who listen to you Make them proud to be human And to carry your message to others Let God and the universe speak through you Be always elevated, in company of God When you speak Nourish your words with prior silence, reflection, heart and spirituality Know that you are representing God, the universe and our beautiful Mother Earth Let your preferred saint and angel Inspire you Feel yourself intensely, lovingly Feel how the universe speaks Through you Listen to it while your speak And you will be recompensed By untold happiness Your words will never be lost In all eternity.
