Imagine you are aboard a space-craft ‘Universal adventure’ on mission to Alfa-Centauri, just some 5 light years away or to any other far-flung system in the universe and you get lost out there….
Calling that predicament a crisis, certainly would be an understatement….
It would be more a matter of ‘do or die’.
Metaphorically, the ‘Friendly island’ island finds itself in a similar situation of feeling lost on its ‘flight’ to some unknown ‘Brave New World’ called by some ‘article 74’ and others ‘country SXM-status’.
Meanwhile, the passengers of the space-craft ‘Friendly-Island’ are at the mercy of its crew.
Aboard ‘Universal adventure, the flight-engineers are realizing that the cause of their misery is a total collapse or ‘crash’ of their computer-system.
It has been overloaded with too much data, hacked into, too many concurrently running programs, heavily fluctuating electrical-voltages and what have you.
Interestingly same is taken place on space-craft ‘Friendly-island’ en route to ‘greener pastures’.
They too discover why their system has ‘crashed’ and rendered space-ship ‘Friendly- island’ rudderless….
Overpopulation, overdevelopment, illegal immigration, the many culture poison, abuse of social-welfare system, rising voodoo practices, gypsy bus-drivers, beaches off-limit to natives, imposed compulsory education as reward for illegal residence, exploding crimes, etc….
Aboard space-craft, ‘Universal adventure’ the engineers realize that they have exhausted all experimental efforts to repair the system, which caused them to lose their way in the vast expanse of the universe.
They now resort to the only and final action under such conditions and the press hard on the button ‘RESET’ in order to go back to ’basics’ and ‘solid ground’.
And indeed BRAVO.
It works wonderfully well and ‘saves the day’ , their lives, because the computer-screen suddenly completely clears up….no more distortion.
On space-ship ‘The Friendly-island’ it are the ‘nation builders’ who intervene and save the craft from a certain collision.
Like the engineers, they too, press hard on the button ‘RESET-SXM’ and gone are all the confusing information like ‘Me born here too’, ‘Me have papers too’, no more CAF, no more social homes etc. etc.
The passengers can now resume the trip in the constitutional universe, because the system is once more working perfectly again, guaranteeing safe passage for all.
No more confusion who is host and who is guest, no more guessing who forms the foundation and who sets the tone and forms the main dish…every passenger now clearly knows his and her role.
Finally, the trip can safely proceed, because the computer of spaceship ‘The Friendly- island’ has been reset and everyone is happy again.
