Thoughts on a crazy world

What to say?
As a South African male who is , dare I say it, white , I could rant about how hard it is to find jobs , how the gas price just went up again for the fourth time in three months etc. However I think that I
won't do that. It would hardly be fair of me when my neighbours across
the border in Zimbabwe are being shot! Instead I could wax lyrical about the beautiful sunsets and wonderous animals , only the sunsets are blocked by the smog and the animals are all in game parks that cost an arm and a leg to get into. No things really aren't all that bad over here , if you can avoid the carjackers and the bombs in Cape Town. Fortunately , I live about a thousand kilometers from Cape Town!
No, where I live the stupider of our black brothers who resort to crime prefer to kill each other rather than whites. Strangely , many
of those oppresed by apartheid are the ones who say things were better when they were oppresed! I can't see how but they think so.
Anyway, to the potential tourist , things are relatively safe in Durban right now so come here. Cape Town is widely vaunted but the sea is freezing there(Atlantic Ocean you see). In Durban you can swim in the sea all year round. We also don't have those bombs I mentioned earlier here. The hotels are great and the food here is the most varied. We also have many other tourist attraction including a aquarium. For a club lovers there are plenty of them here and you'll find the booze is relatively cheap(ie 3ZA rand = about 50 cents in US$). Durban is the place to be. After all I live here.
