Auntie Charo's Soapbox

If you were confused about the entry of this opinion....it relates to song titles....relating mostly to what's happened to the Taotao Tano and their loss of the garbage game....and a reminder that we're really not a bunch of delinquents living out here without a big brother watching....and if we don't pay attention to their instructions, they'll be back to do it their way.....and we'll have to pay for them to do it.
Kinda makes you thing about the time your mom said that if you've got to do it, you'd better do it right the first time....seems govGuam didn't have such a mother, at least where the garbage system is concerned.
For years, Uncle Fed has told us to close Mt. Ordot...we're not doing this, that right. Then, they told us to close it.....but no one listened, they kept making up excuses. When the Feds fined govGuam, the DPW director said, "It's only $2,000 a month, no big deal."
So now, it's a big deal, Uncle Fed has put its big feet into the mess and they're going to make sure that there's a new land fill and the government's going to pay big time because they didn't pay attention to the instructions.
All over the radio and t.v., those that are in power say that 'it's a good thing' that Big Brother is taking over~ as in receivership~ the land fill and garbage pick up....and it doesn't mean that Big Fed is going to pay to pick up your junk....it means that the government is going to be paying and since they don't have the moolah, they're going to be charging you to pay their share!
How come we can't do it right the first time but have the time to do it right the next?
I suppose it's a good thing that Uncle Fed is going to take over because it'll be done right....but at the same time, I'm ashamed that they had to come in and rescue us because we were too dumb to do it right ourselves!
Maybe we'll do some easter egg hunting at Mt. Ordot while it's still open......smells the same!
