Paco Smith responds to a concerned Belizean: Mr. Phillip Bucknor asked - ""Mr. Smith, what do you believe is the appropriate course of action?"

Elston Wade says "stop playing the blame game." Paco Smith Responds: If you refer to speaking the truth as "playing the blame game", that is your prerogative. But I shall not stand idly by and excuse those in positions of authority who are clearly leading Belize down a path of destruction.
