LOST in the din of trucks broadcasting teeth-grindingly bad jingles exhorting people to “IBOTO!” for some ambitious local candidate or another, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Supreme Court’s unprecedented move on Friday, there have been a number of encouraging messages this week worth highlighting. In spite of the grim image of the country many people here fear (or hope) events here present to the rest of the world, they seem to be having the opposite effect, and they should.
