Chris, you may be right. Politically, it may not have a prayer. Never said Simon's idea was practicable -- just wise and effective.

I would be interested in your ideas instead of simply poking holes in the ideas of others. Am I to understand you would be in favor of random checkpoints/sweeps and the Belize military roaming the streets as Poppie suggests? If so, forget about the occasional drug-related shooting, tourists like me will be long gone.

A larger police presence is good, and better education and organization of citizenry is even better, but random searches and uniformed military with semi-autos on Coconut as I drive-by in my golf cart is a bad idea.


I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.
