"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." |
| A list of functions or events at which goinghomedotcom passes the awareness message on alcoholism and how to deal with the disease.
