PROSTITUITION BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL…

PROSTITUITION BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL…

It’s another beautiful Sunday morning in Grenada and after enjoying a refreshing dip in the waters of the world-renowned Grand Anse beach I pause to reflect on how blessed we are to be Grenadians, to be afforded the privilege of being inhabitants of what is certainly one of the most beautiful places created by God.

That tranquility and reflective mood was suddenly jolted when in tuning in to Sundays with George Grant I heard the most despicable and stomach-churning attempt by a ‘PRO’ trying to defend in essence what amounts to prostitution. My thoughts have since been scrambled and I am just now computing the nonsense I heard last Sunday and the accompanying deafening silence of the Grenadian society.

First off, this utter nastiness begs the question, when did we get to this point? What has happened to allow our morals to drop so low that an individual who sounds as though his age might be a much larger number than his IQ can openly try to convince us that the prostituting of our young ladies is somehow legitimate business?

It irks me to the core of my soul when we continue to use the ills of other people’s societies to justify wanting to infiltrate Grenada with vile and corruption and introduce customs that can only attract the scum of the earth. If anyone wants that of service and as the moron said on Sunday, it is offered in St. Lucia and Trinidad, well let them go there! If you want a good oildown, jab jab music, Fish Friday and unprecedented warmth and friendliness then Grenada is the place for you. We do not offer our young girls for sale!

The person masquerading as this PRO, using up somebody else’s oxygen even had the audacity to make references to “classes” of persons. Does this idiot know that the last time we were categorized and graded it was called slavery?

At this juncture I must express my displeasure and disbelief in the silence that has accompanied this very disturbing and worrisome development. We live in an era where the pastors even join political campaigns and tell us who we should vote for, but on this very troubling issue the avoidance of some kind of response is bothersome. A calypsonian’s use of the English language can become a major national talking point for weeks, but the degradation of the nation’s young people is met with hushed tones.

Grenadians I admonish you to please speak up, if there is one occasion when we should be boisterous, unwavering and committed in our conviction it should be now. What happens now determines the Grenada we will leave for our children and this bunch of intellectually-challenged scum-bags are threatening to take us to a time and place we cannot afford at this juncture in our existence.
