Who said that Trinidadians were poor?
We're an oil rich nation, we're the largest exporters of Methanol in
the world. Soon we will have the largest aluminium smelter in the

We also have a lot of quiet Tourism in Tobago.

Driving while on a cell phone should be illegal in all 50 states. A first
offense removes your cell phone priveleges for one month. A second offense,
a year. On a third offense, for life.
Talking on a cell phone, in public, should also be illegal and should carry
