Forced immigration

[fishs]

 > CLASSIC VERSION:
>> The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,  building
>> his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper
>> thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
>> Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper
>> has no food or shelter, so he dies out  in the cold.
>>
>> THE TRINIDADIAN VERSION:
>> The ant works hard in the withering heat all day long, building his
>> house and laying up supplies for the rainy season. The grasshopper
>> thinks he's a fool, dances at fetes and plays  Carnival.
>> Eventually, the ant is warm and well fed .
>> The now homeless grasshopper calls a press conference and  demands to
>> know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while
>> others less fortunate like him are homeless and starving .
>>
>> CCN (Caribbean Communications Network) shows up to provide live
>> coverage of the homeless grasshopper, with cuts to a video of the ant
>> in his comfortable warm home with a table filled with food.
>> Trinidadians are stunned that in a country of such oil wealth,   this
>> poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so, while others have plenty.
>>
>> The NATUC, the CWU and the Coalition against Poverty demonstrate in
>> front of the ant's house. CCN, interrupts the Point Fortin cultural
>> festival special with  breaking news, broadcasts them singing "We
>> Shall Overcome."
>>
>> Cro Cro rants in an interview with Elizabeth Solomon that the  ant
has
>> gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate
>> tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share."
>>
>> In response to polls, the Government drafts the Economic Equity  and
>> Grasshopper Anti-Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning
>> ofAugust. The ant's taxes are reassessed and he is also fined for
>> failing to hire grasshoppers as helpers. Without enough money to pay
>> both the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, his home is
>> confiscated by the government.  The ant moves to the United States
and
>> starts a successful agribiz company.
>> CCN later shows the now fat grasshopper finishing up the last of the
>> ant's food, while the government house he is in, which just happens
to
>> be the ant's old house, crumbles around him hadn't maintained it.
>> Inadequate government funding is blamed, Hudson-Phillips is appointed
>> to head a commission of enquiry that will cost $10,000,000. The
>> grasshopper is soon dead of a drug overdose. The TnT Mirror blames it
>> on obvious failure of government to  address the root causes of
>> despair arising from social inequity. The abandoned house is taken
>> over by a gang of small island spiders, praised by the government for
>> enriching Trinidad's multi cultural diversity, who promptly terrorize
>> the community.

Funny you should ask that...
In fact I am part of a group of Patriots that are formulating a plan to contest and win the next election , after which we will bting back sanity and good old fashion values back to TT.
The name the group is Republic United Movement...

We think that trinis should have more time to enjoy the finer things in life so we propose ah 40 hr work week... Monday to Thursday..10hrs ah day.
What this would do is stimulate the weekend type business of partying liming etc and allow our natural entrepeneurs to expand and even export this product we also think that this will have a serious impact in reducing crime since we all know there is a correlation between bad boys and partying..
We intend to offer the bad boys incentives to party such as sneakers,beers, placebo weed, imported retired columbian ladies of the night (of course we would only release them when the boys are suitably imbibed).... so we expect they will party until they drop and be too tired and hung over to think about doing anything bad for five days... after awhile they will not know anything else but decrepit behaviorand not criminal.

That is just some snippets of RUM.
By the way .... Panday already sign up , Manning say he have tuh ask Bennie Hinn permission.

First public meeting ... the gas station opposite Angustura.

There may be some truth in that joke

There may be some truth in that joke

Very deep indeed and relative to the World Today. Myself I am the mosquito buzzing around the Ant, taking my bite now an den, with the intention of enjoying both  what the Ant & Grasshopper enjoys, but with no intention of ending up like the Grasshopper.
