You know you have been had when ...

You know you have been had when: Government is adamant in building a $850 million smelly dome for small island hurricane refugees although every Tom, Dick, Petrosingh and businessman objects to it. You know you have been had when: Government acquires a $40 million blimp instead of purchasing 300 much needed police cars equipped with wireless computers and multi-band two-way radios.

You know you have been had when: Government spends $2billion dollars on CEPEP and URP and not even an Airport Cowshed to show for it.

You know you have been had when: Almost all the leaders of the country’s trade unions and holders of many senior government jobs are small islanders. You know you have been had when: The government minister tells you to drink WASA brown water.

You know you have been had when: The killing of your friend or family is referred to as collateral damage.

You know you have been had when: The person holding you for ransom is the very same alleged police hood (I mean "man") who rescues you.

You know you have been had when: Government wants you to believe that kidnapping is an opposition scheme, but will not point fingers at which party supporters committing the gangland murders.
