AG's snub more bark than bite
Published on: 11/18/2009.
IT IS PHENOMENAL that the daily launching of life-threatening, misguided missiles camouflaged as PSVs escaped the attention of President George Bush and Dick Cheney, and inclusion in their fight against terror. Not enough oil in their crank cases, I guess.
The attorney general's seemingly stern but well guarded response to the ever-present threat to our children's morality, and to limb and life of the general public will again prove to be more posturing meant to appease public concern.
The Press has continued to lend credence to successive Government's promised PSV reform, and refusal as apposed to failure, to meaningfully address and bring an end to the problem, rather than investigate what is in the mortar other than the pestle.
In spite of the rhetoric, "for what ever reason there might be", PSV owners and operators will retain untouchable status and licence to inflict moral and physical injury upon the entire community, uninhibited, far into the foreseeable future.
Prove me wrong.

The love of money is really the problem here. It matters not who gets killed or the bad publicly that people are reading around the world. (People other than Bajans read these blogs). The judicial system I blame for this problem and the owners. Once day we are sure to wake up to rude awakening by allowing this problem to drag on.
