Why are we so anger?????????????

Today is February 01st 2010 and thus far there has been about 40 murders in Trinidad for the year and so many robberies, rapes, gang violence, drive by shot outs and stabbings. One of the most horrific in my humble opinion was the stabbing at St Augustine Secondary School where two young ladies battled. Imagine at the age of 14 and 15 stabbing someone 22 times, not 1, not 2, not 3 but 22 times. How much anger can one young girl have to stab another young girl 22 times???????

So today I ask the question is our Trinidadian and Tobagonian society an angry society????? Are our children, the future leaders of our country angry??????? What are we so angry at???????? How was this anger developed??????? And what are our adults, leaders, those in authority doing for the youths of Trinidad and Tobago to promote this anger????? Seriously why are we so angry???????

The population of Trinidad and Tobago is approximately 1.5 million people with a GDP of $28.65 billion (2009 est.). Our labour force is estimated at 629,000 (2009 est.) furthermore there is an unemployment rate of 7.5 (2009 est.) while 17% of the population is below the poverty line. Religiously speaking, there are Roman Catholic 26%, Hindu 22.5%, Anglican 7.8%, Baptist 7.2%, Pentecostal 6.8%, Muslim 5.8%, Seventh Day Adventist 4%, other Christian 5.8%, other 10.8%, unspecified 1.4%, none 1.9% (2007 est). Therefore the society that comprises what is Trinidad and Tobago has some economic wealth and religious background. So what is pushing us to be so angry????

In my opinion our social background, family life and structure, what parents teach and don’t teach there children, the entertainment that we entertain in terms of movies, shows and music and last but certainly not least the fact that the Trinidadian and Tobagonian society has lost it own identity. Yes I said it we have lost our identity, we are move Jamaican than the Jamaicans, we are more American than the American and we are more European than the Europeans. Ponder on what I just said look around you and you will see what I mean, in fact take a good hard long look in the mirror. hmmmmmmmmmm
