In keeping with our promise made in our State of the St. Martin Nation address 2014, as well as in in line with more recent statements made - we are progressing very well in the preparation of our new St. Martin nation building television program.
As stated before, this particular program will be based on the input- and participation of panelists representing ALL ethnic communities on our island.
Thus-far, the interest shown by these communities is very encouraging and growing.
For the record - let it also be known that we, as the producer of this particular program, also emphatically invite all those who regularly profess to champion the legitimate cause of the 'blood-line' St. Martiners to play an active role in this new setting as well.
In our books - the 'proof of the pudding' in truly championing the cause of St. Martiners, is not doing such in isolation – and/or by preaching to the 'choir' – week in-week-out, but by being able to do such based on a proven credibility and doing such among all other communities on the island, as well as in the 'wide world'.
Clearly, sitting and screaming from one's own corner of comfort hardly contributes to anything substantial, let alone contributes to the best interest of all people present on the island.
We therefore look forward to the input by all those, who regularly use the airways and other means to profess to be champions of the 'blood-line St. Martiners'.
If those 'champions' decline to be part of this 'broad-based', all-inclusive St. Martin nation building initiative – they will have no-one to blame if the train moves on without them – then themselves of course.
In ending.
What could have been yesteryear's brilliant solution to yesterday – if not adjusted to today's realities - could be tomorrow's greatest problem.
