Getting these persons money, providing them jobs, without first educating them, without emphasizing responsible citizenship is irresponsible of government.
The emphasis, without end, is jobs for all, income for everyone. Money in the hand for everyone, it is imagined, can only be a good thing. What though of fools and asses with money in their fists? What if, with new-found affluence, these persons decide to subject the rest of us to asininity, to stupidity - as many have chosen to do – with their numbers increasing by the minute – with them competing to see who can do it to us best?
Unable to afford to move out of town or into the suburbs, who is sensible and conservative, who is law-abiding, properly socialized among us, is subjected to who hasn’t much sense but has income sufficient to load vehicles with speakers enough to make our lives hell.
Why so many, including our politicians, including the police, whose job it is to enforce the law, seem so little bothered by what’s become constant disturbance, I know not but it is more and more tolerated and this problem gets worse and worse.
Why I am so severely bothered is because, with pen in hand, like a needle resting upon an LP, I am constantly engaged in very delicate work – reading or writing with these noises booming, knocking my needle off the track and out of the groove.
I am certain I am not the only person engaged in delicate labor, needing to be protected and respected. To what church do such persons belong, I’d wonder, not to have heard of the need to love neighbor as self?
A government is misguided to imagine wealth for all to be the way to build a nation - a fistful of dollars for everyone however s/he wishes to spend it – dozens of asses investing in noises to make the rest of us supremely unhappy.
This side of development must also be addressed otherwise, in spite of the signing of all these heads of agreements, in spite of all these billion-dollar anchor projects, this government can find itself out of office.
I live on Kemp Road, occupying once again, the house in which I was born just over fifty years ago and the noise vehicles passing, pulling up, parking constantly make, is a maddening nuisance, overlooked or regarded much too lightly by those in authority, making me long oftentimes to abandon this backward, awkward land.

damnation to all the noise makers!
the truth of the matter obediah...
and I know this will make me unpopular is that there needs to be more regulation and accountabilty here and someone is going to have to bite the bullet to do it...our problem with illegals and stateless people is not something that is going to go away...politicians should start now to listen to the noise in the market instead of ignoring it...when I go to any country paritcularly the us after 9/11 there are such constraints i have to endure...my passport is scrutinized, I have to have a police record, state my reason for being there, when we leave...all these things are to ensure the safty of their citizens... do we value our safty any less...criminals and criminality is rampant here and still we sit by and do nothing about...allegations of corruption in our civil service as well as our security does not help the situation...we have to get tough on this matter as unpopular as it may seem....the rest ie human rights and representation has to follow but unitl then we have people in this country who are agaist this nation ..which can only be a threat to our safty here, our children ect...our children are growing up stateless because the country of their ancestors, living in a stalemate which people refuse to deal with with conscience and compassion...we need to act now or trouble , big trouble will follow...dvh
ps...when I hear someone talking about wealth YOUR MONEY on tv, they always neglect to talk about resposiblity of humanity..ours and theirs...the popular ghetto song states.."I rich now they can't tell me nothin'"
so much value is place on economic empowering yet we are more imprisoned now by our greed and lust for power...that is emblematic with the least of us , the most powerless amounst us...money maketh the man...power comes with responsibilty and those who abuse it often loses it...
dvh: how entirely you comprehend my meaning. I sense though that it is deeper than shared intellectual understanding; it's more a matter of shared experiences and mutual love for country and people.
a love I hope we win Obediah for our country and for our people..dvh
esquire, thanks for affirmation!
