Creating Shadows

I was listening to Gareth Cliff on 5fm this morning and he was commenting in the name change that could/is taken place with the springboks and other place names.
He was saying that its pointless if you have a good arguement, but then get emotional. Once you get emotional poeple stop listening, because then you baically become irrational. Well at least thats what people percieve.
Honestly this whole name changing bussiness is something silly, like Gareth said it is more of a make over, a symbol of what South Africa is becoming or should be. That is that South Africa is turning from its aparthied ways and one can see this, becuase we are changing the names of our country! Yay us!
But the truth is that, as much as we want to believe South Africa is a multi-racial country with no predujices, South Africa is still only changing. Slowly.
Perhaps these name changes need to take place when the new generation is in leadership, becuase the leadership of today is still infuenced by their past.
It doesn't matter how good your arguement is or your counter arguement, because in the end they all seem to cancel each other out and in the end the descition is out of your hands.
