Would such an argument stand among slaves working in some plantation?
Depending on how you define peace-especially absence of war- one realizes that slaves can enjoy peace, have clear economic growth and development matrices.
What else would one want? Freedom. Or let me use a more usable term, 'liberty'. Liberty is about being able to work under law for self determination and excellence.
@Angelica, liberty is almost non existent in Kenya today. In fact, it is this realization that hurts the most. The criminal justice process is skewed in favor of the moneyed and corrupt, who by the way, are few. The rest of the citizens, like me, are left to languish in silence. That's why you'd think there's genuine peace.
I don't want to talk about 'clear economic matrices' because I suspect your post was in irony.
