Prime Ministers Forum: A BIG deal!

The Father of the Nation was ill and recovering from a fall at his home and subsequent surgery. Yet, the show had to go on. After being eloquently introduced, the Belizeans who have held the title of Prime Minister of our country couched beside each other. They were now poised to make a historic joint appearance.

Without the luxury of Nielson ratings we can only guess how many Belizeans tuned in to this majestic moment. I can tell you... it was not discussed ad nauseum on my 'normal' fb page--Pacquiao fights and Barcelona games get lots more commentary. At work, mum was the word on the forum. There was more a worry as to why people were late to work.

It is so revealing that such a summit of a conversation did not give rise to many mini-ones in the immediacy. Maybe time will tell.

Delving into the presentations: these politicians revealed their humanities to us and their Belizeanism--hope I can say this. They did keep though a thin film of their party colors; I don't blame them for that. Two of these men were still in the very very heart of today's politics. The other, in my humble opinion, had lost touch with the Belizean people. He seemed to be a reluctant participant and seemed a lil bitter at best.

But hey, let me not hit these men that have been at the helm of our country's history for the last 30 years. It is no easy job. With Belizeans who are generally illogically insatiable. The mass number of us make Democracy look like a lousy system but I would have it no other way. It is the task of each Belizean that can read and understand to teach those that cannot read and understand. If we would make that thought prevail, our democracy would blossom since we have a great set of roots firmly into the ground.

All in all, the words of the Prime Ministers resounded in love for our nation. I must say though that this forum should best have been held when they were not practicing politicians. The responses might have been lots more poignant with feelings from their hearts.

Hey! Kudos to them for appearing and speaking to the nation...even as the latter might have not been listening as avidly as we should have.

Get well Papa Price!!!!!!!

Until!!!!!
