RE: [Ugnet] Exercise your freedom within the lawEdward Mulindwa TORONTO

VERY CORRECT, MULINDWA ! And thanks for not swaying one tiny bit. Right shall be right! The kind of Ugandan who will bring peace and unity are those who recognise that peace and unity are expressions of righteousness.., expressions of law and order!! The same for every one. It is bogus to preach one ideal when you yourself is not exemplary. The rules of the game applies! --- On Tue 08/16, Edward Mulindwa < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Edward Mulindwa [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ugandanet@kym.net Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 04:48:39 -0400 Subject: [Ugnet] Exercise your freedom within the lawEdward Mulindwa TORONTO Vukoni Well you are a journalist tell me if you would make an interview using such a language. We all oppose not only the movement but Museveni's leadership, but that does not mean that we have to go that low in ethics. And Yaobanga can call it trash but you see that is the very danger many Baganda have today, that every thing bad said on Obote or any trash thrown to him is justified. But every thing good must be stated on Museveni. That is just being plain stupid. I am just too sick and tired of Ugandans who in the process of opposing a leadership decide to go personal. Mwenda went personal and that killed the chance we all had of getting a trained journalist asking serious questions. And I can bet if this fracas happened 10 years ago before the creation of FDC, Dr Munini Mulera's editorial would have been different as well.
