....book yourself a holiday in Kenya?

Oops. Don't.

There is always something profoundly depressing about watching a country tear itself apart this way, but it's especially awful when you've actually been there and seen for yourself the human potential that subsequently gets pissed away when this kind of chaos kicks off. Hard to believe that the tolerance, pluralism and grace under economic pressure that I was witness to among Kenyans almost everywhere I went has dissolved into standard-issue machete-wielding tribal violence at the drop of a corrupted ballot box. You never want to believe that humans can be this stupid - but they always end up proving you wrong.

Happy New Year. I guess.
