May 23 Uganda warning on honking protest

on Monday 23 May 2011
I thought about my speech .

My Kampala, that stood originally on seven hills but flourished and grew to over 20 is a sign of all that is progressive about Uganda. These council offices we stand in represent a true cross section of our vibrant community, the  Baganda and Banyankole and the more esoteric and contemporary tribes such as the Restless and the mysterious Shadies but we now face a terrible situation.
This country that has seen so much bloodshed, coup and counter coups, this country that is bending over backwards to be inclusive is being brought to the edge by members of the Animalistic party and their insistence on honking like geese over any discussion they feel ignores the concerns of the native wildlife.
There are those of you with buttons and car stickers showing your support, I Honk for the Good of my Animal Brethren has become the latest fashion but I ask you, as one Ugandan to another, to think again, to see the dangers this action is causing to our fledgling democracy, please:  be good Ugandans and be respectful Ugandans.

I would be clapped and everyone would cheer, and then I'll eat the burger right there in front of them, that'll teach them all
