NATIONAL SORCERY CHAMPIONSHIPS

We all know that the human race can change the environment mainly through destruction. We can cut down trees, kill animals and plants, cause global warming, pollute the ground, air and water, burn forests and divert rivers.

But that is all we can do. We can swim but not fly except in aircraft and parachutes. There is nothing we can do by magic except play tricks on silly people.

We can not bring rain, cause lightning strikes, floods, earthquakes and landslides. We can not call up snakes, spiders, mosquitoes and flies. We can not turn into birds or bats. Nor can we make people fall in love by magic.

Anyone who says they can do these things is mentally deranged. So too the people who believe that others can do those things and deserve to be killed.

So let PNG have a national championship for sorcerers. Bring all sorcerers wearing masks if they wish and put them on TV to explain what they can do. Then let them do it for a prize of K100,000. No tricks.

Let the TV news report each night to the nation that no sorcerer turned him/herself into a bird or bat. None has flown out the window. All are hungry and demanding their dinner.

Let the news report at the end of the competition that no sorcerer has won the K100,000 prizes as no magic has been done. Let that news go out to all the potential killers of old men and women in the highlands.

Sorcery is not real but limited to tricks people play on the minds of others. No human being can influence the environment in magic ways. They can never call up snakes or lightning strikes. They can never influence landslides or earthquakes.

Only poison or fear are real. No so-called sorcerer will go home from the national sorcery championships K100,000 richer. They can not do those things even for a big prize.

Em tasol.
