10 hard questions for Trinidad and Tobago.

When will we get serious? The world is getting tougher and people who we normally turn to for help, need help themselves. We must turn to ourselves.
What do we want T&T to be? What’s our mission statement? Disney’s is to make people happy. What’s ours?
Whose responsible for T&T? Is it our PM Kamla and her team? Is it my Mom Aileen? Is it the Unions? Is it the Church? Is it the Baliser boys and girls? Or is it us/me? Is it you?
When will we all stop cheating? (getting a contact to help us with our driver’s license, refusing to line up at the bus stop, driving on the shoulder or breaking a red light and the list goes on forever)
When will we recognise the power of the arts? Our dance, our music, our film (flim) and all the stuff that makes us who we are. (50% local content on radio should be legislated) The oil will run out eventually.
When will we pay more attention to our aged and disabled? Presently they both get the left overs, though the government has made life a bit easier for them in the recent past. And how about some respect and recognition.
When will we be ourselves? Bikinis and beads belong to Brazil, why the self inflicted wound?
When will we be able to speak up without fear of victimisation? If you’re not for me, you’re against me.
When will we become civil to each other again?
When will we believe in ourselves? Next year we turn 50. Maybe we can make a start.
