What IF...

I was having my breakfast today with a colleague of mine & we were talking about the upcoming presidential elections. I asked him who he thinks is better. Not to much surprise, he told me that its too early to decide coz we don’t know them all plus their policies. It was then, he started an interesting topic to which my mind started the usual work.

"It looks like an oil barrel is gonna cost $200. People in many countries are protesting coz of inflation. Food production is lesser than global demand.

What IF, we can't afford oil & then therez no electricity?

What IF, India doesn't export rice and we cant eat?

What IF. therez a world war III coz of inflation?

He kept on elaborating these points to say that, as for one, he is looking forward to policies that will adjust to global economic dynamics. "Back in the old days we used to eat 'olhu ala' (yam) as a staple. We need policies for increased food production and implementing renewable energy projects."

Yes, he has a point. As we are gearing up to dive deep down to the sea of democracy, while leaders promising people for better education, housing, health care & all that, therez so little talk about the very basics of our survival. We surely need carefully crafted economic policies to this nation that would ensure sustainable life.

We all know that our islands are at risk coz of global warming, but, hey what about the people???

Think about this!
