Apparently the gang-bangers a.k.a pussies, cowards, dicks, scumbags, lowlifes, suckers, and wannabes took a vacation for the summit. Well it seems like it, because I was so horrified when I read the Trinidad Express and saw the killing spree that took place and is taking place.

What is happening in Trinidad and Tobago?

My question is, there was all that extra security for the summit from what I saw and read there was a cop on every corner, checking and double checking every damn thing that crawl. So summit done and what? You trying to tell me that the hard working citizens who are contributing to the economy to build a better T&T does not matter? Why can’t the people get that same level of security, why? Are they not important? Without them our country becomes a wasteland run by thugs. Forget 20/20 vision, forget building the skyscrapers, forget foreign investments, forget the influx of tourist, forget every dam thing that makes a country thrive. For if we continue to go down this part not only will we start to lose the best of what Trinidad and Tobago has to offer, we lose the people who makes it work, the people who own businesses, the people who are educating themselves for a better future, the people who talents are extraordinary. What we start to lose is our identity.

A country has no value or worth if it’s biggest story everyday is violent crimes, murders, random shootings, and kidnappings. Do you know that Trinidad out numbers New York City murder rate. Do you know the population of New York is about 8,310,212 and their murder rate as of March 2009 is 89. Now, do you know the population of Trinidad? About 1.2 million and the murder rate as of April 23, 2009 is 169 and counting. You do the math! So if not the government to blame then who?

What is the solution? We need an anti-crime plan of action. Instead of wasteful spending, use the money wisely and spend it to fight crime. We need people who aren’t afraid to lead with integrity, honesty, and serve the people. We need a leader that will bring the country out of this rotting cesspool that is growing like a blob out of control, eating and sucking the life out of the innocent citizens of Trinidad and Tobago. And yes Mr. PM I include you in this rotting cesspool, because if you’re not for the people you are against the people.

No country, or nation is immune to crime. But it can be controlled to the point that the people can live a normal life with little fear of becoming a crime statistic.

Are you part of the solution or part of the problem? Am I part of the solution? What can I do? The roadblocks are many, the people unwilling to change their behavior and habits. Their motto, “We like it so.” “Is we culture,” “Lawlessness is king in T&T.” So I ask myself again; is the government totally to blame or are the people also to blame?

It takes one person to make a difference, one person to make change, and many to believe in that one person that change can come and they can make a difference. Out of one many is born. Things can change!

It starts with YOU, WE, ALL OF US!
A people of one. Together we Aspire. Together we Achieve
