I have always reserved my support for Ambassador George M. Weah for the presidential election in Liberia because I have always scrutinized the qualifications of each candidate and support a candidate based on the merit of his or her scholarship and expediency. However, the Liberian people spoke in 2005 on behalf of Ambassador Weah, but the folks who foster the idea of democracy denied the Liberian people of that very idea of democracy because of expediency. Expediency has failed all Liberians.Not only that expediency has failed all Liberians, but it has also failed the world at times. This expediency was not based on the also called majority rule of democracy because majority rule in of itself is not absolute democracy by the people and for the people, but it is relative democracy for the majority-not the minority. Given the 2005 and 2011 experiments, which have been practiced in Liberia, I support Ambassador George M. Weah for Montserrado Senatorial election although I would preferred my former schoolmate, young Ben Sanvee, for the senatorial election. My reason is based on the fact that the principles of Democracy spoke in 2005 or may I say that the Liberian people spoke in 2005 because Mr. Weah have made a historical mark in the Political climate in Liberia and Africa if not even the world, and the fact that Young Sanvee still have the opportunity to serve his country because time is on his side to be a great statesman. If Sanvee wins, he will have the burden to prove to the world that the political climate in Liberia belongs to the next generation of Liberians because the old establishment has failed the emerging generation and the passing generation of its time. If not Mr. Weah, then young, Mr. Sanvee! Madam Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has failed me. Unlike the first time I saw Madam Sirleaf in California in 2009 at the University California, Berkeley, when I spontaneously refused to shake her hand, this time around I will gently great her and shake her hand because she has been the best student of nepotism who has practiced it to its absolutely fulness. Oh yes, that day I was interviewed by University of California, Berkeley, department of Social Justice Press, and I remembered Charles Gibson and maybe Adanculus George standing by watching.
