Why is there no security on the beaches? Oh drat. I forgot. This is Antigua. We have no Police Force worth a damn. When will it end? When will it change? Change for the better. Not until crime hits rock bottom. Not until the World Boss gets hands-on involved. Not until he and the people of this country confront the fact that with the possible exceptions of Max Fernandez and Anthony Smith, the entire Cabinet is useless.
