I was just chatting with dear friends Ramsaab and John from Guinea Conakry - who say that all is calm for the moment and they are having a party! Reminiscences of many occassions of our lives in Conakry. They've just heard an announcement on Television that a 30 member Ruling Council will rule the country. THis brings a wonderful idea which should cater to everyones ego and finally bring peace and cheer to this rich yet impoverished land.
Why not host an ultimate reality show? The Presidential candidates become participants in this unique show? with elimination rounds held every week. ( the eliminated candidates need not get 'terminated' and the last one gets the presidency?
Cool? Its win win - unique and results in a democratic popular public choice!! and what better way to bring in Christmas and the New Year?

PS Guess this may be a way forward in many countries that have a powerful media.

I just read all the pieces you wrote-in one go- and while I may not agree all the way, there is no denying that I am impressed! Keep up the good work.
