Independence Day

I hate to say this but I don't think we really want independence.
As a people I mean. With real independence would come responsibility.
And nobody really wants to take responsibility. We want to be taken care of like children.

The COP radio add is annoying me... "Moving on .....Never look back."

The truth is

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
And we already have serious memory problems.

What I want is a day to stop and mourn, mourn for the ten thousand dead and the four years decrease in life expectancy during the PNM administration since 2002.

I suppose I should be grateful I now only have to endure 67 years of misery rather than 71.
