Island of what? Enchantment? ddtknight July 28 2005, 22:42:12 UTC

damn you and your spanglish. So tell me about your best friend in PR!

It sounds like the island is in need of a "take back the streets" type of movement from the residents. This seemed effective in combating part of the mob, and later on in history against gang war fare. First get honest politicians and most importantly those involved in law enforcement. Citizens have to be active participants, not live in fear and avoidance. They should start grouping up. Neighbor with neighbor, then teaming up with police to take down the drug rings. Why is everyone running around with a gun over there? are gun laws lax, or is there just a lot of illegal weapons that people aren't cracking down on.

Main thing, eliminate the fear. Fear keeps honest people quiet, and drug pushers very, very happy.

There aren't many honest politicians and those who are end up cracking when they get political power. As far as getting those involved in law enforcement, those are the worse. Many of these involved in law enforcement are involved with drugs in some form. As far as people running around with guns, I really have no idea why so many people have guns, but there have been many killings with knives also. The big problem in Puerto Rico is that there are 3 political parties, 2 of which are the leading vote getters which are the PNP and the PPD. The last term, the governor was from the PPD and she really didn't do much for our country. The term before that, the governor was from the PNP. So the PPD say that they couldn't do anything because the PNP left a lot of debts and embezzled funds. This term the governor is PPD and he says that he can't do anything because the last governor left everything fucked up and so it's a constant back and forth. It doesn't help that the governor is PPD and most of the other political leaders are PNP ( ... )
