And just where the hell do the powers that be think we are going without electricity! I mean really, 20 hour black outs is not ridiculous; it is abusive. The DR, like the rest of the world, runs on electricity if it has any intention of progress it best provide the power. And while on the subject of progress, how can there be any with the massive corruption that is rampant in the country. I mean when the Chief of Police and several Generals are implicated in mis-use of stolen cars.....and let us not forget the bank scandal.....is any one in jail over that??? And more food for thought....did anyone find the missing OMSA busses? I believe there were 63 unaccounted for units. I won't even mention the disaster the public health system, clinics and hospitals are in. Yes, we are moving forward.....forward to revolution when the citizens get desperate enough. And final question, what kind of person(s) would want to get involved in trying to straighten out this night mare of a government system.
