'jefe'



I never considered our neighborhood as being one with an ecosystem. I thought houses, golf course, mini mart, school were actually the antithesis of a green environment. Today's evening walk proved that wrong as I had two different experiences. The first being a fellow walker taping the cacophony made by the hundreds of parrots nesting in the neighborhood bamboo. Then I meet walker no. 2 who informs me that there is a new grouping of parakeets who have taken up residence in her area. We can now add this to the early morning hawks and the strange night bird calls. Very happy to see that earth is alive and well in Moka.

How can the PMOTT say that "the PM's job is one of the two worst jobs in T&T". He made this statement in the Parliament during the "debate" over the appointment of a new Commissioner of Police. The worst job? I do not understand, what is the PMOTT on about? Is he not aware for a fleeting moment of the power he has to be able to change the way we see ourselves, to change the fortunes of the country, to put us all on the path to posterity, to ensure the future of the people of the Rock is in good hands? Is it that the PMOTT has a problem with being a real-life leader? actually having to make decisions that will be life changing?
Reading this statement has me very concerned, it's almost Trumpish. Blame everyone and everything else on the misfortunes of the Rock without taking responsibility for anything. You offered yourself for public office, you won the election, you are the PMOTT, you are therefore in charge and after nearly three years in office have to accept the responsibility for the affairs of the country. Blaming the LOTO for sins committed does not make our situation any better. You are the 'jefe' so then be a 'jefe'.          Stop the crying, whimpering and spoilt child attitude. The electorate is not buying the excuses about who did what especially where it is all just rhetoric with nothing tangible being done. We are fed up with the accusations. There is always a file somewhere ready to produce dirt on someone, but the file never surfaces.

As the PMOTT you can bring real, meaningful change to the lives of every single citizen.

  •  Proportional Representation to break the stupid racial voting pattern.
  • The Right to Re-call to deal with errant MP's.
  • The process of Referendum where we the citizens can tell you what we really think.
  • The new process to select a Commissioner of Police considering the current system is flawed.
  • The decriminalizing of marijuana usage.
  • The removal of all laws dealing with gender discrimination.
  • The removal of all the Service Commissions having outlived there useful life.
  • The complete overhaul of Government.
  • A new way of governing ourselves with the removal of the archaic, unworkable Westminster system.
  • Shutting down the State-owned sector, this will go a long way in eliminating corruption. Why does the State need to own a quarrying company? or any other commercial entity for that matter?  


PMOTT, there is a ton load of work to be done. Saying that you have a lousy job and that nobody would want it is not what we want to hear. Wake up tomorrow and set your sights on making this Rock the best place on earth! It can happen with proper leadership!

Working at a job that you absolutely hate is the worst thing that you could possibly imagine.  If that is the case do what other sensible people do, leave!

Tomorrow on my early morning sojourn I am going to further observe the bio-diversity in my neighborhood, record same and report back.

Good night and good luck people, remember if you do not like the job that you are in, hand in your resignation on Monday, there is another life!

'aghhhhhhhh'

This week has me feeling so down about the rock and what really is our future. I have always considered myself to be Mr. Optimistic. Things would be bad, sometimes downright terrible with little or no hope and I would be there battling it out. The hard part is our present and future position is all man made [excuse the gender] and it seems that no matter what we do, how we vote, who we put our trust in, it somehow ends up bad. In 1956, the hope was there, a mass appeal, in 1986 it returned and was destroyed by 1990, in 2010 432,026 electors voted for the Peoples Partnership, in excess of 60% of the population. By 2015 a lot of the love disappeared and we found ourselves in a position of no-where once again. I use these years because the popular vote was there, the majority voted overwhelmingly for the winning party. Even though the winner in 1956 did not win by any semblance of a majority, over 80% of the electorate cast their vote. It is interesting to note that in 1956 the PPPG...

the Isle of Spice

We ran away, again, to the Spice Island, for a couple days. Work and play. Our first day there was the day of rain. I have never witnessed steady rain, a bucket a drop, like what we experienced on Wednesday. It started just after 7.00am and continued down to 5.00pm. Of course, the drainage system was put under severe stress and there was substantial flooding in many low lying areas, in addition to landslips on the hills. The videos of a guy on a board surfing on the street was real as was the guy attempting to tie his car in order to prevent it from being washed away. What was very noticeable was the fact that people who had to report for duty did in fact report. We stay at a small hotel and the staff were all present and accounted for. Speaking with other travelers the situation was the same throughout. This morning on leaving the hotel again everyone reporting for duty. Speaking with the GM she said that she had to pick up a couple people who were marooned in their homes, but ...

ADD

A great thing happened today. I washed my car and it did not rain. OK, so other absolutely great things made history today, I am sure something was discovered that will change mankind, decisions by world leaders for world peace. None of that is of interest to me because the simple task of washing my car was what was of great import and I marvelled at the sun and dry weather. It is the little things in ones life that give the greatest joy. Tomorrow should be the same with a prediction of only 20% precipitation. Two days with a clean car is good. I am one of those who curse WASA who has leaks on the main roads with spray flying all around and dirtying up my clean car. WASA should have zero leaks, that should be WASA's goal, I don't think that they are interested in any of this as the leaks continue and the complaints from the citizens continue. I remember in the Manifesto of the ruling party a commitment was made to increase the truck delivery of truck borne water. Go figure! ...
