The mystery of Ireland's worst driver Details of how police in the Irish Republic finally caught up with the country's most reckless driver have emerged, the Irish Times reports. He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines. However, each time the serial offender was stopped he managed to evade justice by giving a different address. But then his cover was blown. It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police's rank and file had been looking for - a Mr Prawo Jazdy - wasn't exactly the sort of prized villain whose apprehension leads to an officer winning an award. In fact he wasn't even human. "Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence," read a letter from June 2007 from an officer working within the Garda's traffic division. "Having noticed this, I decided to check and see how many times officers have made this mistake. "It is quite embarrassing to see that the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities." The officer added that the "mistake" needed to be rectified immediately and asked that a memo be circulated throughout the force. In a bid to avoid similar mistakes being made in future relevant guidelines were also amended. And if nothing else is learnt from this driving-related debacle, Irish police officers should now know at least two words of Polish. As for the seemingly elusive Mr Prawo Jazdy, he has presumably become a cult hero among Ireland's second largest immigrant population.

^He is Qabilistic anarchist!!

^There will be room for protest and political reform without restorting to violence and bringing the state like we have done in 1991. There will also be economic oppurtunities that facilitate that help along those penetrate the elite. Most importantly, the masses must be educated enough to be aware of their rights as well as their obligations to the state so people don't make rush decisions without comtemplating the consequences. One could say there is symbiotic relationship between the classes..the key to that relationship is understanding that one group can't exist or progress without the other, but for this to happen the assumption that there are elites and the rest must be first acknowledge or accepted.

^Not if you guys talk in codes. I don't wanna feel like an old Somali man dragged to intervene in something that he no privy to. Rule of thumb though, let's blame him first.

^I'm not talking about socialism per se. Every elitism could be considered dictatorship since it is the elite that makes the final decision on most things. Theiry...It depends on the elite's relationship to the mass, and where they believe in their interests lie. If they are all about maximizing their own interests without throwing a bone to the public..then obviously we will be disgruntled, and that creates room for 'revulationary' colonels'. But if the elite allows and provide a degree of economic oppurtunity and political freedoms, the masses are more likely to accept the system of governance that is put in place by the elite. As far as meritocracy is concerned, it is difficult to apply to the elites, but we could demand it from bureaucracy which do the heavy lifting as far as the functions of the state are concerned.

NGONGE-What did you do?

^Where's NGONGE..Get Qaxwa, and slice of Baklava...Jab Jab How's your day working dear workaholic?

^Yup, would you care for tea and sweets?

Though nobody knows is what end game for Somalia's elites (assuming there is an elite group) in this long running conflict, I would like to pose question or perhaps throw an idea out there. Could Somalia benefit from having an elite class (who has no loyalty to Qabiil) that determines the matters of the state economically and politically from the behind scenes? The mass can manipulated in believing they have stake in the state matters through elections and also ensuring decent quality of life by means of economic and social development. The participatory nature of elections and economic well being could assuage their fears, and guarantee their loyalty to the State. But it is the elites that will choose the candidates that run for offices, and build the economic/political structure of the State. The bureaucracy can established to carry the functions of the State, and build/maintain institutions that serve the public. Such bureaucracy must be educated to reasonable degree and should have upward mobility in terms of institutional governance. They should have decent income and other benefits that keeps them afloat. The presence of solid bureaucratcy would entrach institutions in people's mind. Bureaucracy would also maintain continuum of the state structure when there is change in leadership. The success of dutiful bureaucratcy is the ability to serve the public purposefully and ability to recruit educated workers with discriminating. Long story short, can Somalia benifit from benevolent elites and dutiful bureaucrats? This has been tried in countries with varying degree of success, and can it replicated in Somalia, of course with Somali twist?

The "Sirdoonka' in the Puntland and Somaliland are on Uncle Sam's payroll.These men are all over the place. Anyway, it is another Somali dead at the end of the day. It is actually kind of sad in overall scheme of things, but I guess everybody choose their faith.

^You are beginning to sound like preacher yourself with the usual,' people you should think for themselves' as if the billions of beings on the world lack the capacity to ponder, think, and reach meaningful decision all on their own....talk about arrogance. War Johnny ...We get the Rockies, but anyway what does matter if people believe in God or not? All this brings another interesting question. What's the thought process of those who convert from one faith to another. Perhaps Mr. Cadaan can enlighten us?
