They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. • Solution #2 What did the Russians do for the same problem? They used a pencil. It has become the norm in the politics section of SOL to only talk about the problems of Somali politics - for such highly esteemed website/online forum full of the toast of young intellectual of Somali diasporas; it is disappointment to see them waste time and energy on fanning the problematic politics of Somalia instead of talking about the solutions. I always reading something along the lines – X minister, X Editors of newspapers/websites, X NGOs, X Policy think tanks and X foreign governments agents are frequent visitors of SOL. I wonder what they think of when they read some of the posts and opinions on the politics section?? Thanks Sayid, We need solutions, and simple ones.
