Novelist Louis LโAmour on how to find time to read:
โOften I hear people say they do not have time to read. Thatโs absolute nonsense. In the one year during which I kept that kind of record, I read twenty-five books while waiting for people. In offices, applying for jobs, waiting to see a dentist, waiting in a restaurant for friends, many such places. I read on buses, trains, and planes. If one really wants to learn, one has to decide what is important. Spending an evening on the town? Attending a ball game? Or learning something that can be with you your life long?โ
Justice in Uganda: A Study in Contrast
+FRAME ONE: The Rights of a Killer
+The Incident: Christopher Okello Onyun (in photo) attacks a nursery school, stabbing four innocent children to death.
โ The Response: As an angry mob gathers to seek immediate retribution, the police intervene to save him from being lynched. Good.
-The Outcome: Despite the horrific nature of his crimes, Onyun is granted his constitutional right to a fair trial in a civilian court, as he should.
+FRAME TWO: The Fate of the Peaceful
+The Incident: Opposition supporters stage a pro-democracy protest. They carry nothing but placards; not a single stone is thrown, and no one is physically harmed.
โ The Response: These peaceful citizens are set upon by the very same police force that protected a child killer. They are subjected to brutal beatings at the scene.
-The Outcome: The "justice" system takes a darker turn for the protestors:
โขThe Disappeared: Some vanish entirely, never to be seen again.
โขThe Tortured: Others reappear weeks later, bearing the physical scars of severe torture.
โขThe Jurisdiction: Unlike the child killer, these peaceful civilians are denied a civilian trial. Instead, they are processed through a Military Court.
ยกThe Verdict
Demanding democracy is treated as a greater threat to the social order than the murder of children. Good luck making sense of it.
