The symbols were conveniently/cunningly chosen.

GREEN = PEACE.
RED = DANGER

Forget about the traffic lights idea - No proponents should have been given White which is more neutral and also bears the connotation of peace.

Obviously it could be argued that the No proponents' case is that the draft represents danger. However characterising the No proponents as the danger itself is what is more likely to happen from the Yes side.

Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

stop trying to split hairs - we know that there are 'leaders' of each camp - whether it is the govt-lead group or the church-led group.

red....red card...football

Its like warning sign to No, and proceeding sign to Yes

this colour means this, the other one that...this colour is for pips who are like this while the other one is for pips who are like that...do you get a sense of de javu that its happening all over again ala 2005?

I hope we won't start extolling the virtues of the colours or vilifying their negative attributes depending on which side u are on. The colours are mere symbols forced on the rest of us by the illiterates living in our midst and the need to accomodate them...lets not use them to deride the other side!

BTW, what if you are deaf & blind...you are disenfranchised by default!

chepkel you have won....that has made my lunch...
