Bafana Bafana
Bafana Bafana means "The boys. The boys." It's a nickname/term of endearment. And vuvuzelas are part of the South African soccer culture. You wouldn't ask the French to stop making crepes or croissants cause they're unhealthy, would ya? Thanks for your thoughts, cousin. It's late and I'm off to Namibia tomorrow so more to come. M-

Yo Morganne, Let me know as soon as you come up with a paying gig that involves running around in shorts...I'm ironing my best pair right now, just in case. Thanks for the interesting comments on life and soccer in Capetown. I still don't know what bafana bafana means or why vuvuzuelas haven't been outlawed as noise pollution. The buzz was even annoying on TV. At least here we could turn down the sound, which had the added benefit of gagging the sportscasters. Good question. Mine, in return, is: 15 years after what? The 13th-15th amendments to the Constitution (Civil War/Reconstruction? The integration of the US military (post WWII)? The Supreme Court decision overturning the legality of "separate but equal" school facilities and the Montgomery bus boycott (mid-1950s)? The Johnson-era civil rights laws and the appearance of blacks on the Supreme Court and as elected officials in the south (mid-1960s)? It's been a long, slow journey. It's not over, nor will it ever be. Social change never is. There will always be those who choose to scapegoat, browbeat, suppress or exterminate one or another category of their fellow Homo sapiens for their own psychological, philosophical, economic or political ends. Always. We are fundamentally tribal brutes, easily manipulated by appeals to fear and hate. Sometimes, in some places and in some situations, some manage to engage on a nobler level. But equality, justice, peace, fraternity, though they exist, are never won once and for all. Okay...my shorts are ready. Where do I sign?

interesting
That you felt complacency was the feeling you felt... I think the story of the man folding papers and doing it the "long" way is also telling, because, I think, it says volumes about the way different cultures view the world. Through the "United States' lens" it's fair to say that timeliness is very important, as is getting a job done quickly and for the least cost..even with sayings like "time is money".....etc However, I think, and you may have seen this as well, in many African and Afro-Caribbean nations, time is not a commodity, and accomplishing tasks quickly and more cost-effectively is not a priority. And no one seems to mind! ;-)
