Liberty, justice, and economic freedom were placed in the twilight zone and the environment in purgatory. Had it not been for the unconscionable land grabbing frenzy, followed by the abusive use of the land , harmony, prosperity, and a cleaner environment could have been in perpetuity, as it should be in paradise. Guam could have also been the model of democracy in the entire Western Pacific Region if not worldwide. The military, politicians, bureaucrats, and other power brokers who run Guam have become obsessed with power and fortune grabbing. They have developed an arrogant attitude.
Injustices are as widespread as nepotism is in full bloom.
I might add that the Ordot dump started out as a military ammunition dump. The problem is the people who are entrusted with the power to run the government are derelict of their duties and are representing their own selfish interest. Fifty years later, my father's words are echoing louder than ever. The problem on Guam, however, is the critical erosion of Private Property Rights . Two-thirds of the island was taken under the barrel of guns, and without just compensation to this day, not to mention the damaged done to the environment.
