I am actually talking about this satirical book La Mancha, the one I've posted I don't think you'll like it. Unless you've watched this old documentary Zeitgeist, think I saw it last when I was in Uni in 2008-10Kelebogile Mbangi wrote:Can't wait to read your review!

Are we in the same country!! Yeah, if September 1st has anything to do for it then let's hope for the best.ritah wrote:I haven't read a political satire in awhile - this book seems interesting... and this quote: "Politics is all about appearances not reality…lasting impressions are made by emotions, not facts." makes me want to read it more, unfortunately, I think that it's true for the most part - people would overlook and or twist facts to soothe and sway their emotions. I'm just happy that a small light of hope shined in on my country September 1st - When facts prevailed. We are in a desperate need of more instances like this...Where the law is followed and Justice is served regardless of whom it may offend.
Politics is a farce, nothing ever gets done. Besides, politicians are really mindless drones who the most part are just passing time. La Mancha, puts this into perspective. In a funny and witty way. It would make for a light read if you can spare time.

About the ID and the pic, haha, It's kind of a joke. There's this cryptocurrency site that if you wanted to sell & buy cryptocurrency you had to take a pic of yourself with your ID in it to prove who you are. It was a security check and it just cracked me up. I know the pic takes away my public opinion points but I can't help it
Unaonaje, nitoe?

You weren't wrong in calling it out, and I probably am the hardest guy to offend. Kenyans do that????juliusotinyo wrote:I participate in the First Ten daily, or whenever I have the time. About the ID, I've been seeing Kenyans do that lately. Didn't mean to call it out.

O, man, I have to take it down. I know it's because of this darned election. I don't normally follow the political hullabaloo... And if one is seriously following a/siding with a political group in this country I'd bet they're not doing it objectively...too much tribalism going on. But let me cut this short

They are doing it for similar reasons like you. Apparently there are some sites (I've just learned this) that demand identification in a similar manner. I think those are scams or they are stealing your information. Don't take my word for it. I may be one of the most skeptical persons around.
