They treat us like we're stupid children. <BR/><BR/>If you listen to some of the ignorant comments people make on call-in shows, you can understand why our leaders feel they need to talk to us as if we were fools. <BR/><BR/>But I blame them, not the fools. If they were less secretive, they would help the people to understand things better, and some of us would feel less angry and frustrated.<BR/><BR/>But instead, we have state secrets about a hole in the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-44849546805937319022008-11-25T17:05:00.000-04:002008-11-25T17:05:00.000-04:00I am amused by the arrogant self-importance of som...I am amused by the arrogant self-importance of some official who has a plan for the future use of a hole in the ground but considers it a state secret. <BR/><BR/>The CM was on the radio last night, complaining that some people don't treat the Ministers with respect. <BR/><BR/>Respect is more than manners and politeness. Respect includes telling us the truth.<BR/><BR/>A government that treats the people as if they were enemies shouldn't be surprised if the people meet their expectations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-54696791335030126642008-11-25T15:01:00.000-04:002008-11-25T15:01:00.000-04:00Anguilla needs to wake up to environmental issues ...Anguilla needs to wake up to environmental issues before it is too late. I remember long ago when there was a rather brief attempt to recycle glass and aluminum. Other places in this small world of ours realize the need to protect the environment. If Anguilla wants to keep its place as a high-end tourist destination, it needs to protect its environment. That means some of the old-time stupidness must stop. People cannot continue to throw trash around and drive wherever they want without consequences. Those that believe that because they have that BH degree that can do whatever BS they want need to be re-educated. But maybe that is the problem. They were never properly educated in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-15912348665971668632008-11-25T13:07:00.000-04:002008-11-25T13:07:00.000-04:00Woops.

Gotta dig it all back out and put one in.<BR/><BR/>Good thing about a lined landfill is that you can then trap the resulting methane and burn it to generate electricity. See Millennium Park in Boston: http://wikimapia.org/1190493/Millenium-Park which does this. Whole thing was a landfill once. Now it's a giant hill with a park on top that generates electricity. <BR/><BR/>The Hole being next Corito becomes a feature, not a bug, in that regard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
