What is 2011 to you? A change of government or a change in our living condition

The household word in town now is 2011. For many Liberians it means General Elections. For those in government circle, it is the operating language around which every interaction must take place. Right now at the National Legislature the “threshold bill” hinges on 2011. Is the ordinary Liberian understanding what is going on now and the benefits that he or she will get long after the decision is made. What is 2011 to you? A change of government or a change in our living condition

  1. A change in living condition captures my mind when I hear of 2011. But this change is unlikely because a change in government is equally unlikely.

  2. Change is fearful especially when it denies certain group of people the rights to survival. Liberians must be mindful of the kind of change they hope to pursue come 2011. Please note that changing the captain on a sinking ship cannot stop that ship from sinking; we need to fundamentally change our attitudes and behaviors towards this emerging democracy.
