Is there anything that we as Trinidadians will stand up and fight for? What I am talking about is going out on the street and protest, active participation to encourage change. What are we willing to fight for?
Yes I know if the Government was to ban Carnival there might just be riots on the street just imagine if rum were to become illegal, for sure bush rum (babash) sales will go through the roof and more people dead, but for sure that will almost like not happen.
The cost of food and the basic amenities are increasing in almost daily yet we do nothing. We are a country of frivolity, fun, excess and rum. In a lot of ways showing off is our passion “I will buy it just because” and corruption is almost second nature. Your parents sending “gifts” for the teacher/principal to encourage favor, or you long lost uncle pulling some “string so that you can get that sweet position. For sure it is not all bad but it is like almost all bad.
Really, criminals killing people almost at will and we are almost numb sorry not almost we are numb, citizens engaging in all manner of petty crimes, small thing? The police seem unwilling to engage the criminals head on, are they afraid? Well I would expect some sort of fear after all they are human aren’t they?
May be the real reason for this sluggishly cautious approach is that some of their members in high and low rank are actively and passively engaging in and encouraging the criminal elements in their pursuit of criminal power, allegedly.
Do you detect a little frustration? Hell yeh!
Where does our belly lie?
