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.
