In a democracy, you can t legislate everything. Some things are left to mere human decency. America is a country where the honor system is expected to prevail and thrive. That is why people are expected to resign from public positions when they cross certain ethical lines, even though their actions or behavior may not be illegal. In the four years, I spent in graduate school in America, there were no proctors for our examinations. However, no student attempted to cheat or even ask his/her classmate a question. When you enter a bank or other public places where people are waiting to be served, you don t jump the line. When you are stuck in rush hour traffic, you are expected to remain in the queue and not use the shoulders of the road or highway. These are some unwritten rules that guide this great society.
Letter To The President
Dear President Weah,
Treat the people as though it is their place in society to elect you and receive handouts in return. Don t create jobs for them to make them dignified and respected citizens. Give them military-styled outfits. Make them talk miles to your headquarters to sing praises to you, while you ride the most expensive vehicles in the country. Don t provide security protection for them, but tell them to buy their CCTV cameras. Build a few miles of public roads but invest millions in your private properties with public money. Sit and do nothing when public medical facilities become death traps for ordinary citizens. Meanwhile, you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to treat yourself and senior officials abroad on taxpayers’ money.
