One of the most beautiful moments in my formal education happened when I was in Form One. We were showed pictures of a hairy beast, and told that this was our ancestor. We were told that this creature was called "early man".

This knowledge opened a whole new world for us. I believe a people that transition from our traditional system of governance to democratic republicanism without having the same " early man" experience cannot come close to understanding what democracy and republicanism are about. I believe we have too many politicians who have never seen the political "early man".

I have always known that our leaders were following an unwritten constitution, but never really understood where they were coming from, now I do. Our constitution is at odds with their understanding of issues.
