Dear Sir,

It used to be that we were told and believed, that things were expense in Bermuda because everything had to be imported.

It would now appear that due to the rampant corruption that exists in our society today we will be taxed further.

Caricom, The Base lands Toxic nightmare and now the BHC's scandal.

The little man in the street (an old fashioned outdated expression) but appropriate, the middle class who always get it in the neck. The trusting public rendered impotent is or are we?

We need a Ralph Nader in our midst, each one of us can make a difference, we must stand up and protest march if need be, "People Power" in history has proved more effective than any other means.

We must state that this kind of activity is not acceptable and will not be tolerated and that those who perpetrate this kind of behaviour must be exposed, shamed and punished in the full lighter of day, to act hopefully as a deterrent for all to see.
