It is my belief that Mr. Baird has lost the point based on the UN charter. I do believe that the people should vote to dtermine which system of Government they should have. I understand Mr. Baird about the lack of accountability and transparency, however its my belief that if we had term limits this will vanish.<BR/>Sir, this is the first time I am posting anything on this site but would like to congratulate you for being very open and transparent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-86653154164117436622007-08-04T15:41:00.000-04:002007-08-04T15:41:00.000-04:00Did I hear Rev Mitchel, or was it Rev Niles correc...Did I hear Rev Mitchel, or was it Rev Niles correctly, did he realy say that in considering Anguillians for public office we should learn to separate integrity from ability?

I was saddened. All the participants seemed to be talking excitedly at the same time. I could not understand what one of them was saying. They lacked the minimum courtesy expected of invitees to a radio discussion. This demands of all that they speak one at a time, as invited by the moderator. They are not engaged in a face-to-face debate where each listener has the benefit of visual signals to distinguish the speakers and clarify the language. Radio speakers are invisible to the listeners who have to rely on clarity of sound to understand what is being said. <BR/><BR/>The moderator's attempts to get them to behave themselves was brushed aside. They were a bunch of amateurs when it comes to the radio.<BR/><BR/>If the whole programme was like that, no wonder the Camanians left without saying goodbye. I turned off after a few moments of trying to listen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-11176192187087358392007-08-02T17:18:00.000-04:002007-08-02T17:18:00.000-04:00So, when Vernal runs, will he run his sock-puppets...So, when Vernal runs, will he run his sock-puppets in enough districts to be a one-man majority?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-70425609761933538562007-08-02T14:11:00.000-04:002007-08-02T14:11:00.000-04:00I resent Vernal Bryan using this blog for his self...I resent Vernal Bryan using this blog for his self-promoting "official" announcements. On 21 July he used his own website to call Bunton a liar. On 3 July he stated that the elected politicians are "selling out, taking kick backs into the millions and protecting companies like Viceroy their pipers." He is now attempting to create the myth that the CM will endorse him as his successor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-87087655064002399572007-08-01T19:53:00.000-04:002007-08-01T19:53:00.000-04:00It is official!

He approached many young professional ladies to run in District 2 but they declined at this time. Hence, he will put the ANA support around V.Bryan. This means Victor will be the next Chief Minister if the UF wins. <BR/><BR/>Apparently, when V. Bryan weighed his options he felt the APP cannot win so he is going with the party that is a winner. it is rumoured his Uncle wanted him to run for APP. From good sources he was on an AXA familirization tour last week. Also I guess he is a born ANA right. I wish him well. But I know Jerome R. will be a formidable candidate to beat. Hopefully, Jerome R. can get his family values in order. But only the people of East End can choose their next candidate. <BR/>I wonder if VB will run AXA the way he runs his Chat Forum. I suggest better leadership fast.<BR/><BR/>With Vernal B. in the inner circle independence looks like a surety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-4552203195942526182007-08-01T12:22:00.000-04:002007-08-01T12:22:00.000-04:00THUNDER IN THE VALLEYA Carnival RapGunsmoke in The...THUNDER IN THE VALLEY<BR/>A Carnival Rap<BR/><BR/>Gunsmoke in The Valley,<BR/>one guy shot in he head, <BR/>he skull bust like one cantalope<BR/>he by the hospital in Guadeloupe.<BR/><BR/>Next three boys get shoot <BR/>by Blue's Gas Station. <BR/>You don't have to worry about quality or service,<BR/>when you in the freezer by Hugo Rey. <BR/><BR/>Point boys vex,<BR/>revenge is promise.<BR/>Revolution soon come, <BR/>cries Percy Thomas.<BR/><BR/>Feeling is believing<BR/>Are we having fun yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-35932620287710462902007-08-01T10:16:00.000-04:002007-08-01T10:16:00.000-04:00Additional confusion has been caused by those who ...Additional confusion has been caused by those who say "self-determination" when they really mean "independence."<BR/><BR/>Foreigners who come here to make money are evil opportunists, but overseas Anguillians who return to do the identical thing are said to be "contributing to Anguilla's development."<BR/><BR/>Some of the lawyers who are clearly using the Planning Bill or the hapless Indians to promote either their political ambitions or simply as a means to advertise their services are said to be serving the cause of truth and justice.<BR/><BR/>In St. Maarten, the present colony of the Netherlands Antilles is moving toward becoming two separate colonies.
