compatriots, the computer installation at the rundu teachers’ resource center is an excellent modern facility. in fact, it is from one of the several state of the art machines here that i send out this electronic pulse. i have finally managed to reopen my original hyperradical account at hotmail and i should like very much to use it for the purposes of close personal communications with each and every one of you. this hope of mine must certainly be facilitated by virtue of my recent transfer to lusaka, where, in various quarters including the vso programme office, access to the internet is a simple matter. so what is to stop us from holding forth on a number of topics other than repressive legislation established in order to ’combat terrorism’? nothing whatsoever. and despite the fact that i have been cloistered in the zambian wilderness for over 18 months, i have heard that a veritable carnival of global events has erupted like a weltering rash, and needs be attended by the scratching agency dialogue. when i return to lusaka then, we will all speak at length. those of you who earlier received a similar message should disregard the new e-dress i established at yahoo. i am a romantic at heart, and ultimately romanticism is a conservative approach to philosophy, so changing my first hyperradical spelling is intolerable. although, with the way i’m living now, i should perhaps change the entire listing to ’somewhatradical’ or moreorlessradical’ or ’oncewasradical’. as some of you know, i accepted a tie wearing - though still unsalaried and voluntary - post in central lusaka. what can it mean? through this contact we shall all know presently. don’t forget me, and be sure to say hello to the mild mannered john asscroft if you see him on the road - i see that even the state owned presses cannot disguise his flare for facist speech. hmmmmmm........
