I know I might be accused of singing the old Fabian lullaby to make a hero out of a confirmed loser. I am not saying that Doolittle is a quiet person; on the contrary he is noisy but he speaks for the overwhelming majority of impoverished city dwellers when he screams for no particular reason-we are intimidated, Governor! The government’s effort to involve the multitude in a nationwide dialogue by founding a Commission to undertake the responsibility is laudable. No wonder the Commission has resorted to running ads on City Buses-Ethiopia is Engaged in Dialogue reads one such ads. No wonder they have lost their voices sharing ground with folks whose concern and problems they hardly relate to.
