Stop the mockery of our people and country

Dear Editor,

Okay, let me ask this because all night I scratching my head and it’s not from dandruff. What experience do 90 per cent of these people on slates have in association with political runnings? How many of them have been mayor, etcetera in their communities? How many of them have worked in the legal sector to know the law, bylaws, constitution, preamble, etc. of the country? How many of them have run a major organization with an input and output of large funds?

  Look, I even hear people tonight with no SXM accent at all; that without knowing I can guess they have no idea about the real grit and grassroots of SXM. Where the hell they finding all these bring-come-from? Come to hell on man, now they making a mockery of our country, its people, our survivability, and it isn’t a damn joking matter to me no more.

  We say bring young blood into the system for change, but we didn’t say bring clueless, have no concepts of what the hell is happening or should be happening every fly-by-night joe. It seems to me most of these parties just went out on the streets recruiting and if the majority of people they talked to knew their ABCs they were put on their party slate.

  Really party leaders? This is some bullshit and you all causing a lot more mistrust and anxiety amongst the people. This election, first off, should be to vote out every doggone person who ever jumped ship causing government to fall, they the first that should only get the most 5 votes (Theirs, spouse, parents, children, and side-thing), even their siblings shouldn’t be voting for them. The next group to get 5 votes should be all the old political leaders, if you served more than 5 years in the past, you should get no vote, time to clean house.

  The next to go is any who have proven to the people they are incompetent, and have no clue what is left from right. If you can’t articulate your views and thoughts to the people effectively, no vote. I am not saying you have to have a large vocabulary, what I am saying is this; if you are speaking to the people on an 8th grade level, then dammit, you better sound like Martin Luther King doing so. Sound like you have a lick of sense in your head, and a clue. Buy a vowel or something.

  I know elections is a time for us to do our little campaign beat up, but this dog and pony circus show of these parties has got to stop. It’s time for the people to stop this crap, our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandparents can’t afford for us to allow this death by political meditated murder, and suicide to continue.

  If you are coming out to the people as someone who wants to represent them, then by goodness dress the flipping part. The mockery I am seeing now is making me gnash my teeth. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt in this political career debacle. If this is the mockery now, that tells me we aren’t getting anywhere further after September.    

  This pilot of a political made-for-TV reality disaster show tells me when the season gets here it will be the same fuggery happening.
