ROADS AND STREETS MAKE A NATION



Today I was listening to the radio as I drove around in Chetumal, Mexico, Q.Roo. Someone was talking about the amount of money the oil found in Belize had brought to Belize so far. Unfortunately the Government and people of Belize have nothing to show for it and the comments that wEre now being made was that IF we can keep the revenue made from this oil from falling into the hands of corrupt politicians THEN Belize would have much to show from it.


I have a very special friend whose wisdom has often led me to thinking more about many things. He said to me some time ago that a country is only prosperous IF they have the proper ROADS and STREETS! All the little monuments we build and all the beautification we do is nothing if the roads and streets of a country are no good.


"Progress of a country is seen," he said, " in how good the roads are for the people of a country and for tourist to be able to travel on."


These may be very true word so I hope MANY BELIZEANS read this and HELP ME IN TRYING TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ROADS AND STREETS, WHICH ARE REALLY VERY POORLY MAINTAINED, NEED TO BE FIXED. And we are not talking about patching. We are talking about paving and making them last a long time.


Let's re-build Belize for Belizeans and for those who visit us.


The road to success MUST BE PAVED! Stop the little nonsense beautification projects and get to work with the STREETS AND ROADS.
