My partner and I had a discussion today about how
patriotic the Americans are. Too be totally honest, I envy them. I
then started to think about things that we can be patriotic about. I live
in Pretoria and therefor I immediately started to think about the Voortrekker
Monument. This is truly an amazing building.
Then I started to think about time that has come and gone and how young our
country really are. I started looking at some sites about this magnificent
Monument and read about what it stands for.
I found an article that
really made me wonder how anyone can publish such a load of rubbish about the
history of our country. Finally I came to the part where the author's name
was mentioned and... ALAS!!! The answer to this question came to
mind... It is one of the poor sods of either FAR-LEFT or FAR-RIGHT
wing dingbats that still try to clamp on things that happened in the times of my
great-grand parents.
Come on people. Isn't it just about time to recover from all the crap
that our fore-fathers dropped in our heads. Isn't it just about time to
move on...
