Language as divider

As McCain and Obama each try to seem more in touch with the common person, they simplify their language. If you appear too elitist, you will not get elected. Yet the opposite seems to be true in Liberia. This comment was just posted in response to my previous blog entry.

Here we have yet another example of one of the root problems throughout the Republic’s history.

Us v. Them

The ruling class sees themselves as above the “common” people. Just listen to a few speeches of the senators and appointed officials. This is verbosity on a comical scale leading to partition on a tragic scale. Language is as much a divider as geography. Here in the United States when my wife and I celebrate July 26, it is invariable that people say, “I’m from Monrovia.” Few take pride in admitting that they are from up country, “the hinterland”.

    Thinking of designing your own website?

    Try http://www.esolz.net , a professional company which I came across while developing my website. Although I was skeptical about outsourcing my project to an offshore company, my mind was put at rest upon reviewing their proposal. It was clear that http://www.esolz.net is a team made up of solid web designers who provide quality, value, and support. From day one they consulted with me and involved me in every aspect of the site development.
    They completed the project within the agreed 30 days and have exercised extreme diligence in maintaining the website since then.
    Check out my website at http://www.ventureden.com

    Ventureden is a global meeting place where entrepreneurs connect with angel investors and venture capitalists in order to secure startup or expansion funding for their business venture.
