    Dominica has become a country in distress. Not a day goes by without some sort of depressing or mournful event.

    For the present year we have had multiple shooting deaths, stabbings, drowning, vehicular accidents, leptospirosis, roof collapse, suicides, flooding, etcetera. As if these were not enough headaches, the proliferation of illegal guns and ammunition on the street, massive quantities of illegal drugs, the rapid growth of vacancy and poverty have all combined to add to the desperation.

    Roosevelt and his fawning ministers, advisors and consultants have to GO for Dominicans to restore their pride and dignity.

    Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 6 Thumb down 4
