West Indies

I've been back in Trinidad and Tobago for a few months now, pondering what to write here on KnowTnT.com as I take in the myriad experiences that have brought me here - from the assessment of an old business being made new to rumors and innuendo of a highway running through some land I own to the multiple insults to one's intelligence by media and politicians - insults which in larger countries are easier to ignore.

Forgive me WASA, Forgive me people,  but I cannot find a shorter way  to say  this.. 

"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy; Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.  -   John W. Gardner"
