Our ship is sinking!!! What are we going to do in order to save it?



In today’s world of globalization, each and every country must navigate through the waves of change and adaptation by using all the skills of a knowledgeable, smart and experienced captain and crew, along with the careful participation and alertedness of its passengers. In our country, neither the captain nor the crew are at the controls.  As for the passengers, they are either busy surviving  by hanging on to whatever they can, or are completely clueless and only focused on their social pursuits. The captain was handed the Titanic after it crashed into the iceberg. The crew has changed in the middle of the ship taking water in the turbulent sea.  Most of the incoming crew is so new and inexperienced that they are ignoring the consequences of digging more holes in the ship may do.  It is ensuring that the ship will be sinking faster, with more vigor, and  with no possibility of rescue.

Luckily, this ship was built with democratic principles. The passengers have a big say on how the captain and the crew perform, and who can direct them to make the right decisions and take all actions that are necessary. My political wish is that these passengers take a moment to wake up and realize that our ship is sinking and to take action before it is too late and we hit bottom.  A bottom that is so low that the pressure will keep us there for a very long time, leaving the world to the emerging countries to benefit from what our predecessors died to secure for us. Neither the crew nor passengers can worry about party affiliations while the ship is sinking; the only worry should be how to get above water and fast.
