American-style progress in Trinidad has resulted in the nascent spread of out-of-wedlock childbirth, which until recently was extremely rare. Compared to the United States, the Trinidadian family is intact, but it won't be able to withstand much more "progress."

*** Of course because they're importing more of the degenerate aspects of American culture, they either have to use American solutions. Did Panday say those things while he was sober or while drinking the adult beverage? Why he should have addressed the rank abuses of government that caused Trinidad to go into an economic tailspin. Now Patrick Manning is in office :yawn: I do not think there will be anyone as good as Eric Williams ever again.

** I forgot to add or go back to the days of old. The more distant the generations get from the British colonial days of Trinidad and Tobago, the more I wonder about the effects of importing vicious American vice and bad culture will have. I'm not talking about American things in general, but the sort of things my grandmother complains about (sex,dirty films, filthy music and clothes).
