It is very hard to visit Africa. It is even harder to leave. Not just because flights get delayed and what not… Africa stays with you. And i have a feeling that I have some posts to make at my blog that are not going to sit well with a lot of my regular readers because of it.
I am thankful to be home and thankful to have had the opportunity to go. I also missed the lot of you :)Â For now though i have a lot of inbox clearing,bill paying, and whatnot to do.
Did I miss any good arguments while I was gone? :) (seriously. Point me to them!)

Welcome back, Aziz! Looking forward to the posts and photos (?).
If the reported expectations of a coming 100,000 year ice age – as reported in Pravda — have any scientific merit, we may all be wanting to move back to Africa. Which, at least for massive numbers of refugees from an ice age holds a lot more space — and therefore a lot more merit — than all of us trying to crowd into the panamanian isthmust.
But until then, my interests in darkest Africa are limited to old films such as Cornelle Wilde escaping from a band of murderous native cannibals who roast white folks alive on what looked like a wooden rotisserie.
Hopefully, the AIDS epidemic will reduce the african populations to a level in which there no longer are enough Hutus to pursue and murder whatever is left of the surviving Tutsis. Or was it the other way around?
You can write about the Africans whatever tickles your fancy or arouses/amuses your blogsite readers. But having spent most of your life here in the USA, you must surely know by now that one of the outstanding traits of anglo-saxon civilization is to pretend concern about the fate of entire peoples whom we privately despise.
Or do you imagine that is not so?
