My vision 20/20

Vision 20/20 to me is not about building an 850 million dollar sports complex in Tarouba, or having the nicest looking waterfront in the Caribbean, or the offspring of a donkey and a horse as a Prime Minister.

My vision 20/20 is like the vision itself, clear, simple and easy to see. My vision 20/20 is...

>>Not waking up every single morning to another murder

>>Cessation of pothole dodging while driving

>>The ability to access quality healthcare that my tax dollars pay for

>>Having an uncorrupt police service that is equipped with vehicles and can handle emergencies in a timely manner

>>Little or no vagrants in our nation's capital...unless of course you're eccentric and excersise your civic liberties to embrace vagrantism

>>Innocent children do not starve or regress to selling their bodies in order to ensure its very existence

>>The existence of a Pareto Optimal Education system

>>Consumers have rights...(Radical Designs...I still coming back for my money)

>>A braying jackass is not in charge of the affairs of my country

>>The parliament is not made up of little children in pursuit of frivolities instead of public interest

>>I can go visit my grandmother's house in Laventille without the fear of it being life's final journey

>>I have a political party that I can feel confident about putting my "X" next to

>>Clean air to breathe while walking on clean streets

>>No explosions on streets carrying similar names to people I went to school with...Fred and Georgie wherever you are, hope you're cool

Of course the above are basic rights, not privileges or the outcome of a 20 year vision that any citizen, anywhere in the world should enjoy...and you don't need perfect eyes to see that.
