    I would much rather remember Patrice Lamumba, than a loser like kirk. But there is a drink called an Irish Car Bomb, so there’s no accounting for taste.

    From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrice_Lumumba#Political_ideology “Lumumba did not espouse a comprehensive political or economic platform.[201] According to Patricia Goff, Lumumba was the first Congolese to articulate a narrative of the Congo that contradicted traditional Belgian views of colonisation, and he highlighted the suffering of the indigenous population under European rule. Goff writes that Lumumba was alone among his contemporaries in encompassing all Congolese people in his narrative (the others confined their discussions to their respective ethnicities or regions),[202] and he offered a basis for national identity that was predicated upon having survived colonial victimisation, as well as the people’s innate dignity, humanity, strength, and unity.[203] Lumumba’s ideal of humanism included the values of egalitarianism, social justice, liberty, and the recognition of fundamental rights. He viewed the state as a positive advocate for the public welfare and its intervention in Congolese society necessary to ensure equality, justice, and social harmony.[204]”








  • Maybe not by itself, but perhaps as part of a Mole’ sauce? I’m with ya, tho’. I eat red chili powder everyday to keep a baseline so that I can enjoy all the other flavors that those spicy chili’s offer. I like to grow Scotch Bonnets, and Habaneros. This year I’m hoping to grow Madame Jeanette, a chili in the same scoville range, with lovely fruity notes. Thanks for bringing this up, I just wrote to the farm that I get my Spring starts from, asking that they grow Madame Jeanette. Hee Hee!
