This Eve and the Election

  As echoes of crickets shimmer upon the silence of this quiet summer evening, the eve upon the 11th anniversary of day no one shall or should ever remember to forget, the fluency of silence weaved within these echoes much like the twisting of statistics by the campaigns of the upcoming election is more poignant than to which the fear that has been bestowed by the candidates’ rhetoric “Are we better off”.

This appears to be the golden question to an answer we best not regret.

 In truth this election is not for either candidate to neither win nor loose, rather the balance of a nation and every generations well being that we are voting for in 55 days. The bickering and “nay” slaying of posturing media freaks on both sides now, we need to set aside from our minds to focus and take the time analyze what the main and most important issues are to first address in order to find direction at cross road where the best and most achievable action will be taken for resolution to save the nation from further decline.    

My peace for this eve and for a nation to bear in mind.

Tolerating Racism

Should the President patronize any nation whose government officials condone and more disturbing, neglect to acknowledge racism and cultural preference in a corrupt and racially charged country.

A person should question why past presidents have not attended the ....Summit.... of the ....Americas...., but why President Obama decided to attend given his comment concerning the arrest of Henry Louis Gates. Racism is a multi-edge sword which anyone pre-empting facts with judgment on alleged prejudices and profiling is as guilty of the racism they so-call will not tolerate.

FIFA Vice President and Opposition MP Jack Warner (Trindad & Tobago) is expected to meet President Obama on ..Monday July 27, 2009.. to invite President Obama back to this island nation.If President Obama accepts this invitation, this is another sign of his tolerance for racism since this small nation has a recent history of racism and crimes committed primarily against East Indian Trinidadians.
