How about this, I'll set arrange a town meeting and we can debate this in front of the people of San Pedro. You can bring next speaker if you like, anyone will do, Roaring would be fun. Questions from the floor and all that. We will only have room for a few hundred but it will be Mayor and Town Council, probably the minister of tourism, Tour Guides Association, Realtors, SPCCD, SPBA, SP Chamber of Commerce, Green Reef. You like bullying huh, most bullies feel just like you when they get bullied back.
You know the issues and ignore them and pretend we are all extremists because its your only real argument. You know there is always a chance of something going wrong. In Belize stuff goes wrong that goes wrong nowhere else in the world. Its the nature of the place , I dont think its worth taking a chance on considering the state of our govt. More oil that is produced the more that will be transported past the reef and the higher the risk of an accident, as you very well know. The most hazardous of your listed activities is transporting in Belize waters unquestionably. The other two are almost a wash. If its not drilled it wont be transported the more drilling the more transportation and risk as you know. 50 times more drilling means 50 times more chance of transportation accident. I thought that was so obvious as to not need to be mentioned but I suppose it is really the crux of the issue. Generally our boat accidents just tear up a bunch of fiberglass. We do need to be more careful with all pollution of the sea, including our boats. Hard to use that as a justification to drill for oil though.
