Many governments have tried many have failed - stopping the wave of crime is no ordinary business nor do I believe is it entirely possible. Consider those who stand to profit I legitimate and in some case through illegitimate means from this flourishing business - aka criminal activities.
Lawyers - must be overworked over paid and over wealthy by now- the amount of cases to process and the money been paid to keep some people in their business must be astonishing.
Politicians- the world of politics must make for unique "bed fellows" the ideal of a person representing the best interest of the masses appears to be consulted in tangled payoff bribes promises and contracts to sustain power wealth and greed. Consider where some of the proceeds may come from to support election campaigns, donations and other such public relations appearance of goodwill gestures. Are politicians merely paid servants and stooges for a business that exist outside the realms of legitimacy?
Contractors -living of the fat of the government offers- paybacks kick backs and overinflated charges to fulfill projects have possibly made billionaires to contracting firms.
These are but a few of the many who stand to profit from this business- consider the spin off industries and the proceeds gained from these "activities" it would appear that the gains and those who stand to profit have invested too much to ensure that the business of crime continues to flourish in TNT .sadly those who dare to stand up against it are seemingly " crushed" silenced or become recipients of the proceeds thus ensuring the prolong continuance of a cancerous terminal existence beneath the veneer of what could be a tropical gem and what was once a place to call home.
The very people we entrust with governance continue to fail betray and suck the marrows of our dream for a safe haven . Our dreams have been tarnished in a society which appears to have been allowed to transformed and morphed by those with power privilege and status- those who either chose apparent legitimate or illegitimate means to do so.
Getting rich in TNT seems to be the focus instead of getting in right- doing what's noble and just for the good of all is no longer idealistic notions to aspire towards. Our current reality seems to dictate that lawlessness. Corruption callous reverence for life are the norms and spoils achieving success inTnT Sad sad to read each day of what makes the headlines and how some people blindly follow those who are suppose to ensure justice for all. I agonize for the places all home.
