Full support for top CoP

The acting CoP must be given full support and commendation for his act of prowess. He has set the stage for action in other governmental departments. To move forward there must be reform and revolution. To bake a cake, eggs must be broken. It cannot be business as usual.The world is experiencing reality checks and for our very present survival and preparation for our young ones we must take stock and embrace change. Inertia and the Peters Principle we cannot be saddled with.

Reality does not get entangled in schism and dogma.

Our laxity had been masked and buoyed by high oil prices.

We lapsed into a false sense of security with dotish talk such as “God is a Trini”.

Well, hey, gone are the hay days. Incisive thinking and intuitive vision are required from our leaders. Individuals must stop making a trade out of delusion where the truth is the first casualty. We must all put our shoulders to the wheel and recreate that paradise lost. It will require genius, grit and guts but we can make it.... if we try.
