The time is always right to do right
Dear Editor,
When Dr. Martin Luther King said, "The time is always right to do right", I was a teenager and that saying made an impression on me. When I told my father this, he asked me:
“What is the difference between that and what I have been trying to instil in you? He had me repeat what he always said to me “Always do the right thing."
I believe the right thing for the voters of Sint Maarten to do next week Monday is to make sure that none of those people in government, who have been in there so long and especially since 10-10-'10, do not return to the government.
No matter how they might sound campaigning, no matter what they promise (which by the way comes out your own pockets) make sure that none of them get back in office. Simple as that. Go and vote for a young candidate.
I like the SMCP. The people of Sint Maarten should take a look at the stand that the youth of the USA are taking. They are saying enough is enough and will be demonstrating against the current gun laws, which are enabling crazy people and teenagers access to weapons of mass destruction, because the government of the USA is not doing anything against this, even though the number of mass killings in the schools is increasing.
I believe that it is high time for the voters of Sint Maarten do the same and get rid of all those in government who have been there for years, having the people of Sint Maarten going backwards instead of progressing.
Out with the old and in with the new. The time is right to do right.
