Yesterday on the news, our finance minister Trevor Manuel told us very convincingly (ha ha ha) that South Africa is not facing a financial crisis. I wonder how he would explain that to Ford workers who are working short weeks and the many companies who have closed 3 weeks early for Christmas... It sort of reminds me of our health minister telling us that HIV does not cause Aids.
Ages ago, the kids taped this movie from TV - Osmosis Jones. It's a combination of a real people and animation. The animation is what goes on inside the guy's body. He gets this really bad infection and there's this little president of the body - a short fat guy with william shatner's voice. The body temperature is really spiking and chaos is breaking loose as the body deteriorates at an alarming rate and the little president is walking around with a loud speaker telling everyone not to panic, that everything is fine.
So, I'm just wondering, how bad does it have to be before people pull their heads out the sand?
