Default My Conspiracy Theory...

Was the island for real? Or was it a smoke screen used to muster acceptance of the metro project. Create two ridiculous ideas...one more than the other. After debate heats us...agree to drop the more crazy one. Makes the metro appear a lot more acceptable.

I wouldn't put it past the government to do such a thing, but I doubt it. I also doubt that the "metro" will seem like such a ridiculous idea 10 years from now.

I wonder if it will be up and running in ten years. Regardless, it seems silly when schools do not have books and hospitals are without medicine.

I know that it's backwards thinking, but the metro will be up and running long before anyone fixes the problems of schools, health system and energy. Sadly, that's the way things are in DR, but this is government's way of thinking. There were similar things being said years ago when the elevados were being built in Santo Domingo, and just think where that city would be without them today.

Scandall, Are you trying to suggest that the government starts some projects and then never finishes them? How absurd!

And just think where we would be if they would have bought some books for the schools or some friggin' sheets for the beds in the public hospitals.
