“Out, out brief candle, life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” –Macbeth (Vv)

By now, most voters would have decided on how they would exercise their vote at the presidential elections to be held on 8 January. For more than a month they have been flooded with the propaganda of the candidates (while nature, not to be outdone in this run up to the elections, reminded us of our real and continual vulnerability by unleashing unusually bad weather causing wide spread flooding in many areas). The rains have now mercifully ceased, but there is no escape from the relentless propaganda bombardment on our senses.
