    Too many Dominicans travel to other places with their noxious attitude firmly intact. It’s as though the belligerence, aggression, intolerance, toxicity and all the vile traits of their ‘supreme leader’ have been permanently embedded in their psyche ( mind, soul and spirit).

    I fear for our children and the generation yet unborn. What a ‘fantastic’ world we are leaving for them. Seems like total destruction is the only solution (Bob Marley).
