America cares. America cares about and for
her citizens. America is not perfect, but
for those of us who came from a world that
was akin to hell, America is on the right
path. I have heard many say bad things
about America, none more articulate than
Noam Chomsky who seems to feel that ALL exercises
of power are, by definition, deprivatory and thus
evil, and I firmly disagree. America is the only
nation I know where I would be allowed to use
my ... obviously vast intelligence... without
coercion from the State. Even IN America, there
are Nigerians in the Nigerian System, largely one
fool from Abeokuta who my uncle dash the rank of
Major long ago, who STILL try to coerce me to work
for an evil Nigerian system. And here in America,
they ASK. And I say, with great fondness, YES! I
can do THIS for my country, because they ask and don't
take. The don't make a habit of bribery or stealing
and all are brought to account for all actions done
in public service. It is why I have mandated that I
WILL serve America publicly at least once, if I am
opportuned, to prove to the Africans that patriotism
comes from goodwill... and not coercion.
