The Botswana Skeptic (or Sceptic). An unashamedly skeptical view on some of the things that affect us in Botswana.
Everything written here is my opinion only, not that of any organisation to which I am connected.
If I'm wrong, tell me so. If I'm right, well, you're clearly hugely clever and extraordinarily attractive.
I firmly believe that all speech and opinions should be free, however, I am also libertarian in outlook and do not think what is right for me and you should be enforced on others. I am a staunch atheist and fight all the time to have my children exempted from religious activities at school, I would engage in intelligent conversation on how I see things, but would never stop others from doing something they feel comfortable with. That is why my opinion is slightly different from other free-thinkers on the “draw Muhammad campaign” – if the Muslims do not want it, why do it? I do not want them to blow up my aeroplane and fly it into a building just because they hate American foreign policy, and I would support any campaign to liberate woman in Muslim countries, etc. However, I respect the fact that they feel that their prophet should not be drawn. In short, each one should live and let live and not enforce our viewpoints on others.
