A Different Direction

In every society there lies challenges, and ours is no different.  How a society firstly identifies those challenges and then deals with it would verily indicate how evolved its leadership and people are. Where then on that intangible sliding scale of progress does ours lie? In answering that an examination of the three variables mentioned would be a good starting point.

Dr. Patricia Alison Bishop’s Great Gig in The Sky

With the passing of Dr. Bishop yesterday the flood of eulogies and commendations will follow in the coming days. Replete with the obligatory parcels of tiredly worn clichés – “national treasure”, “cultural icon”, “sorely missed”- many commentators and public figures will latch on to these often times too easily regurgitated insincere platitudes that ironically doesn’t even measure up to Dr. Bishop’s contribution but nevertheless aptly begins to describe her and her contributions to this overflowing cesspit of dung and retching detritus.

A few weeks ago before the Egyptian crisis came into local prominence, I remained glued to CNN, FNC, BBC and wherever else I could witness the change. I was sure then that history was being upended with little warning. In another unexpected resurgence, the story doesn’t end there.
