As brief as possible and in a light- hearted tone with some
devastating truths.
GENTLEMEN OF THE NEW
CONSTITUTION
Believe me true, if this one goes through it will be
history in the making- to the good.
In my 44 year walk/brush with
life slash walk/brush with our companions it dawned on me that they are the
weaker vessel.
But they are- since the 1848 convention decision i.e. on
woman's rights in America (1930- vote in S.A.)- creeping up to equality and
better, and what have we got the industrial revolution despite: Greed, strife,
unemployment (poverty), corruption, divorce.
Now this might sound typical
doom prophetic. No, I am optimistic, I say further: The weight of the good
things weigh six times as
heavy. It is just, on a technical point that we (the
whole world) take six times as long to reach our goal because of a nagging
braking action. Six. Nothing religious now.
In the past, that is now up
to 1930 S.A. time, we men had them womankind submissive to us. I would not say
all was well then but
at least a foundation of (as) characterful people (as we
have now also), knowing good from bad was established in place. Before
I go any
further allow me to stipulate two basic principles throughout my
letter:
1 . I speak in general: Life on this planet is thus designed that
one can never draw a line under a statement and declare it to stand
above the
water, never. There is always a freak or a new discovery. Many times a natural
freak at that, that seem to break the
rule. The list, believe me true is
endless here is just three: Every thing under the sun shrinks when it is cooled
off. Wrong,
water, in passing through 0 degrees expand a substantial 4% (And
what makes it worse, life on earth depend on this feature); Who
says a woman
cannot bare twins fathered by two men. One by the one and the other by the
other. OK, OK it is extremely rare but
it does surface once in a lifetime; Ha,
the Christians say "Jesus that died and rose again is the true mediator" (and
look how they
falter and dwindle and diversify well, and grow also, and crash).
The Muslims say " Mohammed that died and is still to rise is the
true mediator.
(Wouldn't that be something! and I, more on the Christian side must confess that
they seem to be more stable and unified
and maintain a higher morale); Never say
there is not another waveform yet undetected/unexplained with which cannot be
communicated.
[I work for Telkom SA and I am always fascinated by their
efficient system despite adverse circumstances like our 1 -o-n-g distances,
lightning strikes, the peak hour rush, accidental ruptures, vandalism,
affirmative action and theft. I am in the scientific field
with them (lie) and
work hard on the above mentioned technology (true)]
2. Evil starts at the
root. Ag man I know the cankerworm and the caterpillar eat their way from the
outside. I know but don't be
...
Take drunken driving for instance: Do
not excessively tax liquor, we will become just more anti government; Increase
policing and
we will become more sly. Stonk it in the root. it will take a
while to die. Where is the root? You'll see later. Anyway, we should
be
drinking at home under control of caring woman! (wife, not
girlfriend).
Same as a decision taken way back in the past. As time
fly's we tend to fight the thing up front completely forgetting the original
sin
or a wrong decision. The main enemy body will laugh at you because it is slowly
gaining more weight from behind than you can
fight off at the front. Then one
fine day it will spill all over and the whole damn thing, good and bad go up in
flames and not
one of you knew why. Because you have introduced/done something
unnatural.
Back to my point: Up to 1930 woman was submissive. We had
authority over them.
But lately they are taking us for a ride at neck
break speed that is. Take me for instance, neck hangs on a thread, not unhappy
now,
married and two beautiful talented children we have.
We - see the
addressee- are by natural phenomenon in general the stronger
vessel-‑physically, mentally and... spiritually.
We were just ... no,
here is one classical example: There was Natravatilova she said: "Now, I am just
as good as any man, bring any
one". Under much protest from our cool headed
compassionate men that new otherwise she insisted. She played against a strong
man
we gave her no doubt. She lost, our balls were time and again just to fast
and precise, our mans mind just that little bit more...
advanced,
sorry.
I will never base my theory on one example. The above is anyway
slightly distorted to suit my case. On the other hand I must say,
all other
examples are very close to a tie, some you win, some you loose.
Now I
conform to the world again with talk of comparing forces. Man and woman are not
to be compared. We are not the head because
of just physical and mental
superiority. We are there because we initiate and work and they incubate and
they rear. See, it is
not so much what we can do but what they by natural
ability can do better: Rear our children. The man child never grow up, always
want to play, no matter how hard they try. So it is a rearing and an education
and help process till the end of our days.
Give them due!
To
reinforce. In the beginning- the origins of man- we were just lonely, we needed
somebody to hug, to help, to h-e-l-p us do you
read me. Thank the daylight we
got them. They just do not compete in the same class as we do! Not in sport not
in politics. Natural
phenomenon.
That was fine, no problem, natural, it
nearly worked to this day. (Do not forget my crosscut assumption). Now here we
come in 1930
and allow them woman's rights. ‑WE GAVE THEM THE VOTE then.
Not equality now, it is only recently that woman's rights evolved
to equality.
Equality! No, not yet my dear, maybe in the life after this one (if there
is).
Why did we allow it: Because we overrode my two points and a third
one: allowed ourselves to debate the point. Ja, give any person
(man or woman)
enough time, he will find the words and he will prove, yes prove his (view)
point and you the listener, if you listen
long enough will fall for his joke.
Just remember that out there somewhere there is somebody with a lot of words
that has the truth,
has to be. (on a personal note you know, to be honest, I
feel like a lost soul myself because I haven't found the truth yet, or,
it
hasn't found me!). It is a difficult thing to distinguish between good and bad,
very difficult.
Perhaps the best non religious (ja man I know it is in
there somewhere - just proves) example of what is right and in this regard
revolves around the words "representation" and "acceptance". The forces in a
house divided cancels one another and no progress is
made.
The first
question Dr Conroy ask me: Now we have a lass out of the house, 25, single, work
hard, good worker, father died, has mother
yes, no brothers, who is her overseer
her representative that will vote for her: If she belongs to a Church, the
minister. If she
does not belong to a church and do belong to a political
party, her local party representative. If she does not belong to a church
and
do not belong to a political party, the President. He will look after her, just
except that. If she perhaps dies miserable
her daughter will reap the
benefits.
1 think I will seize rite here. You guys up there in the
constitutional court, come quickly to a consensus. Amidst all the other
laws of
"The New Constitution" somewhere towards the end bring in just this little line
and don't even start with a capitol letter:
woman will not to vote.
Now
please do not understand me wrong: Do not send them home, that is not what I am
saying, we need them in many, many offices still.
Just that, not equal
rights now, end of story no more words except perhaps "we made a mistake". Just
stay tight lipped and cool.
Casually destroy (not delete please) all the names
of our wonderful clever and caring women we love you on SA's voting lists the
same day. Do not go to sleep before it is done.
Yes, yes I know, next
time round we can change the laws concerning equal rights and those things. It
will be easier then because
an automatic rectification process will have taken
place.
They must by themselves understand the term "representation".
Strange that it is still custom for the boyfriend to ask dad for her
hand. Or
are we pass this point also?
Gentleman, thereafter brace yourself, be on
the watch for the fury that is coming. Sound advice is: Do not say one word, do
not argue/debate
the point. Just do it!
It is predictable, it will not
escape us, hell and high water await us, ask the Dutch about high water, it will
be over in a week
and EVERYTHING will pull strait thereafter AUTOMATICALLY,
every thing.
MONEY, not woman .. is at the root of all evil, and they
cannot help it, they have a gate that is thus designed. Think nicely, we
can do
nothing about the money. On my! It is a technical point that I am not going to
elaborate on.
WOMAN, we love you we need you. No, no, not the other way
round. An arrow towards the centrebull can not have two heads. It will
flutter
in all directions and fall short. You be the flights. My, you are just
excellent! Just help us in the way that we want to go.
I
can't enjoy anything if my darling wife is not by my side, my left hand side, or
wait for me when I return:
From here on forgive me if I repeat myself.
Also a strong element of faith is forthcoming. There is a couple of lessons to
be learnt
from a man with experience. Always good to see things from somebody
else's viewpoint.
Say I have an indestructible gold plated Jumbo that
just flies, can fly endlessly, no maintenance needed, no petrol needed, stocked
with food, hosts, whatever. Do you know when will I order my this Boeing for a
nose-dive into an active volcano even before we reach
the lovely life-giving
Nile, the grotesque Pyramids, the friendly Cairo: When there is not a frail
little wife (or girlfriend then)
to share in the excitement.
Poor old
Adam. How unfair of God by creating Adam in such a lovely cool environment and
let him walk alone for 980 long years in
this garden. 0-yes, he came to visit
him often, what! Yes He himself! Adam had everything, the parrots to talk to
then, not forgetting
the popo-sized Mangos and the mango-sized Litchis to eat
his fill. Ja, despite this he was at the point to comm..
Ja chaps, that
is how He does it- always stretch it to the limit. Be not surprised, to prove a
point He love to stretch it to beyond
breaking point, and sit back to see it
c-r-a-s-h. That is how it seems!
I cannot be sure but I think the
Initiator had a means to an end plan...
Anyway, it is then that God made him
a help. Must have been a magnificent 19 years and 11 months
thereafter.
So there you have it my dear womankind, YOU ARE THE VERY BEST
THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO A MAN, NOTHING ELSE WILL DO. WHAT MORE DO
YOU WANT.
But we are going to take away your vote.
Unfortunately guys, because she
ventured to far out of the bounds God commanded and Adam reinforced she dropped
herself in the shit.
And, (this is where we went wrong) because Adam was
yes dear this and yes dear that and not stern and unforgiving on this terrible
thing his wife has done and loved her he dropped himself, the rest of humanity
(his and the serpents offspring), the fauna and the
flora and the earth in a
mess and I have to sit here after hours at work to straighten it all
out.
See, a couple of things did cross his sad mind momentary: Oh! God
my friend, He (this is now what he thought) was such an able designer.
He could
easily (the latest study show he had her complete before 9am) make me another
help: Shouldn't I kick her out of my garden-"
Go on you you... go out, live with
your man! "
Adam was cross my, my, my.
But he was overpowered by
her flattery and her beauty, and her tears.
Sorry again (I think this is
one time to many) for my religious connotation but I am trying to tell you
something all the time.
So gents (or lady friends if you care to read
this), read this letter again. It is designed that you should read it again.
See all
that is written between the lines, pass it on to your worthy headman, he
will understand, do not make contact with me, you might
be disappointed. Do it.
Do not debate the point (with them females) lest they get a foothold again, but
love them as they are, keep
a premeditated cool head, to not give them my name
or address- serious. Do not mistreat any Jew ever again they mean (no harm)
prosperity.
And you will see all the concerning points i.e. the
unemployment situation, we all want to be happy not a single one left our, will
come right AUTOMATICALLY: Mothers will resign and look after there own children
... 1.. 1..
And what is more we might be the beneficiaries of a blessing
from God.
Even me which is not "religious" or "Islam/Christian" and for
practical reasons bordering on atheism do not believe He will turn a
blind eye
to such a sacrifice. I am very sure He is human himself.
Gentleman,
gentleman (you see - gentle, we are not as strong as you think) you see it is a
chance that we will take- ja 'n kans.
We will most probably, no not most
probably we will- free nature work like that- go through one heck of a time but
if we stick to
our commitment and being tight lipped at it, it won't be for to
long, the worst will not happen, dare not happen we will be the victor,
viva
S.A.
Ponder on the killing fields again: Fight the symptoms of a
sickness and it will just come back with children, each with it's own kind of a
bite.
The other day I heard a radio debate on S.A.'s pornography.
Ag
OK man, I will stand in for you bunch of sissies. I will be bold: I am
oppressed with the fucken thing. (Every man in his right
mind the same. Quite
natural with such a spread.) My, I am ashamed now but somebody has to take it on
him.
Anyway this is a typical bite, Quite a nasty bite that is. No doubt
there is always these sick homes where these books are not properly
locked away
out of which the children run to school to show off his/her dad's
books.
The debate went on and on and on, made all sense what they said
but they missed the target altogether. I heard words like constitutional
court,
censorship, moral, children, greed, plastic envelopes, publishers, human rights,
woman's rights, equal rights, free choice,
self discipline and what
not.
I say kill the bitch that looks after her children: Take away there
vote. My, I will love that, and you to I know.
May I open my mind a
little further so that you will understand the balance in this thing:
Say
we do that and there is an extremely competent Margaret here that runs for
president. Fine, let her run just like the others
as long as she does not vote
for herself. I might even vote for her myself. Maybe we will make great
strides with her at the helm.
Sure we will, all the little bees will bite the
dust then- their lifeline mother is not. And eventually you will see the whole
thing pulling into focus, even Margaret will become a happy housewife,
later.
Come on, take it from a peasant. I know that I know that I know
that this is the correct thing to do.
Something else: The international
community were just stick-up because we had segregation in this our stronghold
here. We made strides,
my didn't we made strides. We gave them true democracy.
If they start with there... again, I doubt it because this is mos now our
own
constitution with some original things in it that we think will work best, they
should respect that, to hell with them if they
do not. I think they will envy
us, it will take a while though.
Go on I dare you, This is the ideal
thing to give life to our new constitution, life and puls to, to Azania then if
you will, do not
go in the same way as we went, well, in this one aspect
then.
Do or die. Chances that we will die are perhaps better. If we
die, at least we die righteous. But if we make it my oh my! Remember,
there is
hardly a thing that can stand against calculated
risk.
000
Since you are going to make a summary of all the
inputs and, lest you miss a point in mine I will do it for you:
* We are all aware of, and we except natural adversaries in our strive to
perfection.
* Lately, because of excessive adversaries it threatens to halt or even
reverse our progress.
* What excessive adversary: To give life to our "woman has rights"
acknowledgement we passed law that woman may vote. Note please:
Woman has
rights between certain perimeters.
* Why is it wrong: It is unnatural; The father represents his house
* Why is it unnatural: To incubate, to bring up, to do character-forming, to
attend to husband the way he wants to be attended to,
household tasks, to do one
community service free is hard enough work for a woman. There is no time to
tower on us or above us.
* Also all our religious teach they are to us as a help.
* How can we rectify: Kill it where it began: Only men may vote by law; With
immediate effect females may not vote by law; The vote
aspect for woman is not
debatable in parliament, by law.
* Chances that God might add his blessing are slim but it is worth
trying.
