                    <description><![CDATA[How unfortunate and regrettable a situation the US and by extension many developed and developing nations have found themselves in regarding the current economic crisis. Perhaps the most distasteful taboo in this whole situation is the fact that the creators and most reputable supporters of free trade and business and trade liberalization has disregarded their own precedents by more than 700 Billion dollars. This creates a situation where the postman is too good to read his own mail, and perhaps a slug is too clean to touch his own slime. How can we as developing nations continue to support the egocentric ideals of a free trade agreement when clearly the USA has forthright neglected its own recommendations?<br />
Some may say I sound harsh considering the realities of job losses, revenue constraints and such and I may comprehend with that analogy, but major job loss and revenue depletion is all a process in the overall life cycle of any free trade policy. The overwhelming concept behind the trade liberalization is that the markets replenish themselves almost naturally as a body does once a foreign threat is detected. The integration of the world economies via the ordeal or trade liberalization, unlike in the analogy of the human body, would imply that instead of depending on internal resistors to the threats, many flexible alternatives could be found.<br />
<br />
However my opinion is that the USA has so much pride in itself that it could not dare allow any foreign company to take control of these inefficiently and carelessly run organization which they have apparently spoon-fed.<br />
<br />
to add insult to the injury, the plans of trade liberalization and continual talks are still apparently smoothly on the agenda of many of these developed countries such as Britain, France, Germany and the beloved USA.<br />
<br />
My point to summarize this blog is simple, "When you come to equity come with clean hands, and when u try to push trade liberalization and minimize government intervention and subsidization in the faces of the developing world reflect on what has taken place".<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[Having commenced on establishing my community scholorship in <br />
Barbados without any formal organizational assistance, I am now inclined to seek a more compelling challenge. <br />
Therefore i am willing to establish a Mulitlateral scholorship between at least 6 communites in the caribbean or elsewhere to start with. It is clearly an attempt to solidyfy the bond between our regional and international counterparts. i have already managed to get some representation from Jamaica so therfore i am willing to entertain at least four more countries of interest. We are looking to commence this project in september this year and then develop it into a programme.<br />

                    <description><![CDATA[One should sit amongs others with an open mind<br />
even if those to your side have been branded a closed one<br />
One should take suggestions and comments as a two-sided clause<br />
and not be bound to the rigours of a dictatorship of preference<br />
<br />
For he who is the dictator need not show his aggression<br />
for once he has brainwashed his clique his agression is cast through them<br />
For he who is a dictator need not acknowledge rivalry<br />
for once he has brinwashed his clique such rivalry is quelled by them<br />
<br />
But the quiet politician sits and waits with lips midway<br />
not eager to ounce on the faults of the dictator<br />
But the quiet politician simply focusses on duty<br />
and the dictator focusses on power and so he shall fail <br />
<br />
The quiet politician's approach to progress is a pebble thrown into a bucket brimmed with liquid<br />
the movement of the ripples implicit of his approach, their successfull return implicit of his progress<br />
The quiet politician simply sits, simply waits, simply leads even when following<br />
and the dictator finds it difficult to transfer his fury and disappointment to such a silent entity]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[well who is to blame really? who is responsible for building the image of politics as a menacing mechanism of money laundering and free for alls. i know surely since they both entail the same name, many people would jump and say politicians. but hey is that really so? after all it is the people who empower them literally. it is the people that take money from them on the side for a vote, so therefore it is the people indirectly, if you may, that really shape the political atmosphere that they argue about. yes indeen it is a situation where the cooks say the food they prepared tastes bad. i am surely never going to dine at that restaurant in my life.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[parents adorn their children when they see that they have gone through the test of time and when they see that they have acheived certain mildstones in their lives. moreso they feel accomplished when they see their children getting what they did not have the opportunity to get. in many ways and instances education is a pivotal entity in such upliftment. <br />
However, one may me tempted to further analyse the educational system as one element of this experience is missing. " Our educational system of today teaches and guides us on how to fit into a network rather than create our own". it attempts to show us how to manage for someone else, or be managed by someone else rather than show us how to maintain a vital network that will uplift us at a similar rate as those who have already established their own. that type of education is not education. that i refer to as "intellectual segregation" as it seeks to mislead or redirect the ambition of the youth in the hopes of them becoming an animal of material fascination. this indeed goes to show that as much education as you may have, be i a degree or phd or master, " Book sense is noway on equal par to common sense".]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[while i adore the formation of youth ehterprises and specifically youth oriented governmental organizations, i must say that based on my observations, we have created a culure of "sayers" rather than "doers". the mere selection process for those who head some of these organizations has caused me to raise an eyebrow or two from time to time. but dont be misguided by my comments, it is not the posts that i am in conflict with. moreso i question the capability of some of their recipients. how can you hold a highly recognised leadership post, one of importance and of the highest possible significance to develoment within a specific parameter, and yet you do absolutely nothing but sit and smile. well i guess its up to people like us to make the change for them, even although such an engagement may result in them once again doing nothing and taking credit for it. that again is not my concern though, once the job is done. ]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[i firmly beleive that the best way to involve the government into activities that they ought to be mindful of is to participate in what is called the "Politics of exclusion". in doing so, you ignore government agencies that have seemingly neglected your ambitions. try it and see! government will latch on to projects and programs at a far quicker rate if it has become a success on its own. although it may be a case of them wanting to brand your project, you keep focussed on th fact that they came to you and you didn't goto them. therefore the ball is always in your court and if you ever have to go at it alone again, i will not be an unusual situation. my approach to politics is as simple as that. ]]></description>

                    <link>http://lorenzokid.tigblog.org/post/82055</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[Tradition methodologies of community development have now served their time. Hence why they should be termed traditional. No longer can the machinery of development be limited within the parameters of external interventions. this meaning no longer should the community sit and watch governments, regardless of who is in, develop around their houses while their only contribution may be in the form of community meetings and survey sheets. My method of community development is based on a concept i learned in economics called the multiplier. so rampant an approach is this method that i can be bold enough to speak ahead of myself and  say that this project can ONLY BE SUCCESSFUL. that is all i am willing to tell you about this project right now and i am willing to share the concet with a select few individuals who share a simillar mandate. Not only will i create a community based company, but in addition, the Multiplier Project will create a company based community. (food for thought) so please, feel free to engage me in a discussion for me to expound on my unique ambition. i promise you, this one is a winner.]]></description>
