The Snake Made Me Do It

I hear it all the time:
“I’m fat because you put me under stress.” Or I am this or did that because you did this or that.
The fact is: You are fat because you put too much calories in your system and/or can’t take your ass from in front of the TV. Any system will expand if it has excess energy that is not expended.

Let us face it; those who blame others for their failures can get under the skin. Yuck! What is wrong with these people? What ever happened to personal responsibility?. It probably had its death knell since Adam and Eve were caught with their pants (or maybe leaves) down in Paradise.

When asked by God whether he ate the forbidden fruit, Adam replied, "The woman you gave me, to be with me, she made me do it," implicating both God and woman in a single breath.

And when God asked Eve what happened, she said, "The snake made me do it."

This brings us to our favorite subject: General (Retired but Not Retired) His Excellency, His Eminency Yoweri Museveni Kaguta, President-cum-Revolutionary-cum-Military Dictator-cum Blamer-of-All-Blamers of the Republic of Uganda. Since when have you heard him take responsibility for:

1. The poor roads?
2. The miserable public health care systems?
3. The dysfunctional schools turning semi-illiterates?
4. The erratic energy supply?
5. The rampant corruption in high places?
6. The massive youth unemployment?
7. The blood that has soaked the land since 1981?

Own up, dude. You can't just cherry pick the good, which most seem by accident, au contraire to what you and your court jesters crow about.
Look at the mirror Mr. President, and you will see the cause of all that hails Uganda. That’s right; it is you, Mr. Museveni Kaguta—a control freak who, though a dreamer (which is good), can’t help but interfere in the details of running a government best left to technocrats. All is a failure of misplaced resources and inept execution.
