Wow SIN: you really lambasted everyone from the people who elect the politicians, to the politicians, to the British, to anyone who has a comment on Belize, to the big brothers to the north. As far as I can see, the only one you left out was you.

I guess that is what is nice about being a US citizen as opposed to a Belizean, I never hear anyone comment on what might be wrong with my country.

Before I read Sin's comment about "look to the north" I was thinking this sounds like Bush / Cheney et.al. Same crap, another day. Sorry, not a intended pun about the present "poop-gate" going on now about turds in the Capital bldg. Bywarren is right, the laws must be enforced to stop the selling of our countries.

Who make the laws, lawyers. Who are politicians, lawyers. Who enforces the laws, lawyers.

Who gets into power? People who want power over others.

lambasted, is that from the 60's too?

1637, from lam (1595, ult. from O.N. lemja "to beat, to lame") + baste "to thrash."

I thought it was a Moroccan marinade!

Most villages, towns, cities and states "give" title to land to organizations who say they are willing to build a "Tax Base Property" on it and will employ "tax paying" people to run the facility. The governing entity usually receives a perpetual tax return from the transaction. I don't think it is a good plan to "sell" a very valuable piece of property, for a less than market price, to an organization that build on it and pay little or no taxes on it. It would seem that some of the words in the country's statutes, which would permit this, might bear some unbiased review. I wonder how that might happen.

Huh????
