"It will only be through constant advocacy and communication (ADCOM) on issues concerning our culture of blissfully ignorant alcohol consumption in Kenya that this demon called pombe we have to live with, will be effectively caged. Without accurate information on the disease of alcoholism and the inherent dangers in indiscriminate alcohol consumption, it will continue to violently and gleefully rape our society, impregnating us with the grotesque and twisted spawn of suffering, pain, crime, incest, violence and despair so great as to be almost incomprehensible. Our society will continue giving birth to these bestial offspring
without letup until such time that we stop this wanton rape. To that end
we must cage 'the beast'. We ignore it at our own peril for it wades on
heedlessly in it's mindless, destructive orgy until there is nobody left
to rape - then it will begin to sodomise us." |
