Thread: State of the Nation 2008

Thanks, Oneword - what would we Shebeeners do without you?

He didn't really state the state of the nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many words, little substance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, no substanmce at all. In a process to come up with the an analitic synopsis answer for my organization, I almost could not find any straight issue beside the genaralized ones to substantiate. I was put to task not only to simply elaborate on the various open ended scenario but to elaborate further before making the necessary contractions since much generalizations made little sense . For instance, there is a clear dilema in explaning the flourishing constitutional democracy, the first line on the 2nd par. at a time of so much fundmental political upheaval of omuthia constituency type and economic uncertainty without free dialogues. Others need a clearer distinction, in order to be convinced for decision making. there are may people the world over who make use of the the address to make important decisions.

I have noticed a heavy preponderance of verbal acrobatics and dialectic discourse, but extremely little that one could really take and present to anybody as a viable alternative solution. All criticise what others have done, but no real alternatives are offered.

Or was it so confusing I am even on the wrong highway here ...ehr which emoticon will be exactly suitable here anyway???
