Pithy

Anyone into the Thanksgiving celebration? I like the turkey and the food. If you don't like turkey and Thanksgiving in general, don't hate. All you should do is eat the food and say yummy... and that is it. NO BIG DEAL!

The cool weather will soon be here San the rain.

Mein... Christmas........, the feeling is unequaled.

Later.

Omnium-gatherum

The motley crew that feigns at governance of our jewel has approached monumental more than once in terms of errors, malice, uncouthness, and the Pinocchio syndrome. I'm sorry... I had to start with a statement like that. I believe that my readers are highly intelligent. I know that they are questioning everything I write(when they read). ;)

POINT: I truly believe that when you are governing from a position of revenge; you will inordinately sour everything you touch and bitter all your decisions.

The United Democratic Party are in government today since the Belizeans "had no other alternative."... or so the present Prime Minister heartily said before the February 7, 2008 elections. Was he right?

The PUP was riddled with too much baggage collected after 10 years of reigning. Electorates in Belize, maybe elsewhere too, expect the worse of the politicians. The 'small' size of the Belizean population limits the characters in play. Those three factors destroys even saints in our fledgling democracy.

The UDP has added to that list the bitterness gathered over the years while being in the opposition. It is a sad case for Belize. They make decision after decision fueled by this post-opposition syndrome. It is documented everywhere; they are guilty of draconic victimization, land seizures, corporate vicious takeovers, corporate bullying, Super-nepotism all in the name of making the PUP pay for the past ills.

What about moving forward and keeping a nation in the path of growth? The nation has officially moved from recession to contraction. So the economy was not only growing slower but it is getting smaller. All the energies went into the wrong place.

PLEASE! Let's not blame the world economy for this one. The world economy is rebounding. The PM himself said and almost boasted that Belize will be spared economic woes. He said this when the world was crumbling economically last year.

Hey Orange Walk! We have our own circus in town. They are based right off Queen Victoria Avenue and just beside the taxi stands. It is very close to the oppressed market vendors who will be the next to get the monumental 'pinch.'

My question is this: Should Belize Telemedia Corporation have a monopoly over the cable that lands on Belize of The Americas Region Caribbean Ring System (ARCOS-1)?

Belize needs NO malice...only JOY!

This past Saturday the powers of our country met for separate reasons specifically but for the same in general. Everyone wants the best for the jewel and its people. Many a times, this requires difficult decisions and sometimes unwanted solutions. The two major parties in Belize are fighting for dear life...for dear vitality...and long term viability. One has a mayor gone astray--if you ask me she was always a bumbling-stumbling image of falsities that managed to cast herself unto people as a city-saviour. The other has a cancer even if it is a misdiagnosed one.

Perception is an intangible that will always swerve mostly where it is bliss. The wiser one gets the less the masses care or the more they think they are being deceived. Going way back to 1984, people were heard saying "My dog wudda win ina dis election gainst the govament." Such is the same this past 2008 and all the elections in the same time period.

The law of averages does not give any party the ability to field almost no candidate that is not any good. The odds are swayed by perceived malice. Such a state needs to be blotted out.

All in all I think that this weekend was a historical one for Belize. Time well tell on the accuracy of that statement and my projected veracity. Who knows?

Let me sway to a totally other topic. Halloween is here... so how are you celebrating it Orange Walk. I know at this time of the year there are various cavalcades going around town trick and treating. Hey... dont be mean. Prepare some treats for the kids. The JOY that u share is THE thing. Sometimes this joy is topped only by... you know... that day that is exactly 60 days away from today Monday.

Enjoy these pictures.I had promised this one a long time ago!

The unravelling of the IMAGINATION

The leaders of our nation Belize were casually dressed this past Saturday October 3, 2009 at their building built on 'dollar' land. The deputy from our dear town was in his usual shorts and late. They were trying hard to show that everything was under control. They were at odds to truly understand that they were not only imagining a crisis but that they were living one.

The country that they pledged to lead in a corrupt-free style was being blindfolded with a charade against one of their very own that they have felt is disposable.

Our lawyer leader balked at the question that if there are other members of his party that are corrupt why are they not being persecuted for prosecution. He said, "where is the evidence that others are corrupt?"

It might be true that the one that was hunted and maybe even setup to be transparently corrupt is now being paraded as a scapegoat. So sad that she is now being held as a role model by some. She with all her incorrect way of spitting words, her bitterness, her lies about being a union-leader and her obvious corrupt ways seem to be the best that the status quo of Belize can muster.

Let me be consistent, I do not want my leader spewing venom. My leader needs to be cool even in the face of heat.

In our prayers we should have Belize, that we fare off well. The people that we voted in a leaders are witless and crass.

We will survive and in our democracy we will. We are still growing and learning. We now know what we should have imagined before.

The difficulty was to imagine what others were conspiring.
