Cockamamie

The House of Representatives met on Friday August 6, 2010. This the legislative branch of our Bicameral system of government led by the United Democratic Party again proved to the nation that the system is beyond the need to reform; there might be the need for a total overhaul. The problem now with the UDP is that since the time of the SIS in the eighties they seem to be in love with stealth ways of supposedly getting things done. It is up to public perception and opinion that they are already doing some of the same things that they deem to make legal now.

Restore Belize... I am not sure if this is a misnomer but I am sure that Belize needs an about turn and to move way beyond where we were before.

The situation especially in the city of Belize shows that someone is not content with the status quo and that they are hell bent with turning it to their own way of thinking. I know someone who likes to allude to the devil and hell.

Again for those that might understand what I am saying. The Prime Minister has it wrong from the onset. I do not sit in his cabinet room but I do see how he presents. The ire and bitterness of the presentation is translated directly into his speech presentation. What is he still opposing? The spirit of proposing seems to have been lost many many years ago.

Unfortunately the powers that be in Belize cannot even be trusted with our passports or our driver's license database. We already suspect that they are routinely listening to phone calls of persons deemed persona non grata, not even criminals. How else would they know that it works? If they know it works because George Bush instituted it in the USA, all this is borne in fallacy.

I suggest that they invest their dollars in Crime Scene Investigation techniques which go hand in hand with the promised DNA lab. The processing of crime scenes is so much more detrimental to the conviction of a suspect than listening in to phone calls.

By the way, the Bush Administration has this phone call interception more as an anti-terrorism ploy than against gang warfare.

Mada fish... the poor southern minister lived at the Natural Resources department between 1998 and 2008. In all that time all he could come up with was that a few stamps or signatures were not processed. OOOOPppsss sorry for going astray like that.

Do we trust the UDP to have the good intentions, money and technological know-how to implement all of this crime bill? Or does it sound all cockamamie?
