Comment to:
LORD LISTOWELL ADOPTED CHILD.

James,

Why is it nonsense?

Is it because the truth always hurts?

Just point out to me any portion of this piece that is nonsense.

That's our problem as Ghanaians. We hate to be told the truth even if it is going to save us from death.

Partisan politics has been the bane of the problems we are currently facing, yet we shoot down any good advice or suggestion from anyone 'across the line', not mention the fact that some of us even refuse to admit that there's a problem in the first place.
Very sad.
