Our right to decide

Posted on Nov 25 2008
I associate myself with the views expressed by Rep. Stanley Torres on the proposed monument up north. That chubby brown-skinned baby has been swimming in the waters around these isles since time immemorial.
He’s learned to fish to feed himself, reserves and conserves the balance of nature’s gifts for his use at some point in the future. The land and water is his by birthright and did so all through the centuries without stifling federal regulations. It’s illogical and definitely foolhardy to accede to arguments of non-owners of the land and sea in these pearly isles.
Perhaps we mean the same thing, but let us decide the conservation of what’s rightfully the property by birthright of the indigenous people. That chubby kid in the water is too heavy to toss around at will. He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother! I am willing to slow down a bit to see that he and I walk side by side with the widest smile beamed into the infinitesimal allure of the blue skies of paradise.
Let us hold on to our birthrights! If you want a part of it, we’re willing to review your applications and a timely response issued, thereafter. Biba Congressman Stanley Torres!
