St. Maarten Private Eye

Drinking Green Koolaid

Theo's announcement today in both papers about planting trees comes from the United Nations and it is believed to be the first time, other than a brief mention in an IC meeting by Gracita, that an elected politician has mentioned Global Warming in a public statement.

I have to say, I think it's going to take far more to get the green vote than passing on an appeal from the UN to plant trees, far far more. I will however accept it as an opening bid, lets see what else comes up in the coming 10 weeks or so.

Election Time, and there is no doubt that there will be lots of 'Green' Koolaid on offer, it wil be provided to the media and they will lap it up. The environment and overdevelopment are going to be issues this coming election and politicians and wannabe politicians are going to putting it out that these are issues that they care about. The problem is, once in office these promises tend to disappear and get forgotten.

What St. Maarten needs is a Green Party, what we have is a field of candidates where not one really stands out as having any real conviction or knowledge on the environment. They will all be saying it's important, but so little of it ever rings sincere.

I'm sorry Theo, it's going to take much more to get my 'Green Vote".

But keep on planting those trees ol boy! Good Job!

Next bid please!
