		<description>anything about democracy and good governance has to be postponed, why? because this is going to embarrass the host country.

No surprise here, the dictator wants nothing to be discussed about the undemocratic norms which the PPP have embraced.

Quite hilarious, these were the same clowns prior to 92 calling for free and fair elections and democracy. Now the shoes on the other foot they do not have time to discuss.</description>

		<description>Not bad Joe but Caricom is not build for this. It&#039;s basically a talk shop and the secretariat is just the note taker. The whole treaty needs revising to make the caricom a forward planning institution capable of developing regional policies and programmes which are &#039;corporate&#039; in nature and does not impinge but support the development of sovereign states while maintaining their rights to participate or opt out of any arrangement contrary to their constitution and national interests.

Would we move quickly towards political union? Your guess is as good as mine.</description>

		<description>Bruce in the first place we do not support the union.....this is well known, you have no decision to make Bruce.

Bruce even if Caricom is to go in the right direction you will still have problems supporting the union.

Caricom will collapse not too long from now and you Bruce will be worse off. Why? America is right now under pressure and must address the needs of American and the Banking System. When this banking system is corrected life will not be the same again, it would not be easy to get from America like before everyone have to walk a very tight rope. We are all seeing it here as we live day by day.

You and your fellow Caribbean leaders need to stop double talking and playing with Caribbean people&#039;s lives. 

No one is held accountable for what he says in Caricom. No department or system in place to question and expose the credibility of Caribbean Leaders. They do their own thing, and the people suffer. 

 Jamaicans, I encourage you to move to Guyana and take up new residence their, life would be much better. You can make it in Guyana leave Bruce in the eye of the storm.</description>

		<description>These heads of government gatherings have always been and will continue to be ceremonial at best. The reason for this is because there is a total disconnect between the grand visions intertwined between all that oratory fluff and the means necessary to interpret, plan and implement the entire wishlist into hard tangible solutions. The silver tongued orator died many decades ago and his wishlist is still sitting somewhare in a Caricom desk drawer gathering dust. 

Their next big obstacle is money my friends. Guyana has the potential to develop a regional trade currency because we produce gold. Back the currency with gold. Open a gold trading office and encourage local investors to buy gold bonds too. When the international banks interfere, then go to the summit meetings and scream bloddy murder.

Second important phase: No inland nation ever became more prosperous than a coastal maritime nation. Guyana need to become a maritime nation. Hundreds of years ago the European merchants and the Pirate of the Caribbean discovered a natural wind phenomenon which snakes its way along the Caribbean islands. 

They hitched a ride on these winds to ply their trade. Hence the word Tradewinds appeared in our english lexicon. The tradewinds are still there but the ships are all gone. Guyana need to become the maritime masters of the tradewinds and I am not talking about a few wooden plantain boats. I am talking about swift schooner like sailing vessels.

We need to build our own diesel/ windpowered ferrocement ships. We will fuel these ships with coconut and any other kind of oil, we will compliment this fuel with hydrogen cell fuel and wind power. It is a win/win/win proccess. We have to own and control the entire proccess or the fruits of our labour goes directly to the foreign profiteers.

There was an article in SN about a small foreign company that wants to introduce polymers in road building. We need to instantly recognise good foreign companies like this one and stay away from the bad ones. Polymers can achieve strenghts of up to 14,000 psi in a few days drying time.

Stucco which is more durable than paint is comprised of sand cement and colored polymers. I have mentioned before that there is new cheap technology that can make durable mud bricks by compression alone, no firing needed. Mix this with colored polymers and we have a hiend exportable brick product.

The few thirdworld countries that managed to rise out of the doldrum of medioracy did so by pulling out all of the stops, not listening to these so called foreign consultants and economic advisers who told them that their local effort is not feasible. They blazed their own trail, these countries are now among the G8 nations. They are Brazil, India and China.

We can do it too my friends, in 5 years time we can make our country rock with innovative development. I have all of the plans that I gathered over the years in case one day I return home. That does not seem likely anytime soon so I want to hand it over to my countrymen, but no one seems to be listening. HELLOOOOOOO!
