I find it interesting that after the well attended meeting at the Radisson in April, very little has been spoken, or heard via the local news media. Is it that in Belize we feel so impotent and are just warm bodies and cannot act or think that what BTL is doing now is just the beginning of previews of coming attractions. That if we let those in authority get away with this and I am not referring only to BTL here, that we have a dismal future here in BZE. What next ,we will be like sheep to the slaughter waiting for the axe to chop our off our heads, or our feet at the knees.? Get some guts and lets get down to taking back our lives and our freedom, once gone its not going to be easy to get it back. Anyone ever heard of a class action suit against BTL. A strike, or demostration en masse ?. Take the finger out of the dyke and lets see where the water will flow and what injustices it will wash away in its path. I am not afraid, are you?
