More than that.
Clearly, the outspoken positions taken by these people seem to go right straight to the 'soul' of the residents on the island.
In essence, those positions are based on one and the same very clear and simple chorus; 'St. Martiners must come first at home'
Consequently, the responses to this new St. Martin 'gospel', certainly evokes extremely strong and extremely supportive reactions from a growing number of people.
Even politicians are keenly paying attention to the impact of this paradigm shift.
In particular, member of Parliament, Mr.Wiliam MARLIN, reacted pre-emptively by inviting Leopold JAMES for a meeting at some ime in the near future.
It is obvious that JAMES, ARRINDELL and RICHARDSON have stepped up to the plate to deal with critically important issues, deliberately and consistently left unattended for generations by our elected officials.
It is clear that this 'Divide and conquer' principle of dividing and setting up natives against immigrants, allowed for the political system, as we know it to maintain itself for so long.
However, there are also an insignificant number of malicious persons, hiding under the 'cloak of darkness' attacking the messengers for in fact awakening the consciousness of not only the native St. Martin people, but of others as well.
Although, there are strong indications that these operators are acting on behalf of certain politicians, who are terrified that their game of 'Tom foolery' might soon be over.
Nevertheless, instead of criticizing these accomplices, we wish to defend their democratic right of free speech, including their right to engage in launching personal attacks on my person - by all means.
That type of behavior is great news and a powerful mental symptom that the patients at least are spewing their guts.
Therefore, these negative responses constitute a very effective method of 'mental detoxification' and creates a 'purified state of mind'.
Such a condition will now allow for these elements to clear their minds in order to accept and deal with the 'New St. Martin Order- or Thinking'.
Praise the Lord.
In simple terms, it means that soon, their 'tantrum' will make place for accepting the fact that St. Martiners no longer are willing to accept being disrespected, non recognized, non represented, non preserved and non protected.
In addition, that they are now demanding, that finally after taking care of the needs for every illegal Thom, Dick and Harry, on the island, the time has come to place St. Martiners at the top of the list.
No, no.
Not with nice rhetoric, but anchored in the constitution.
Nothing less will 'cut it'.
So, once more I say to my friends Miguel, Jeffrey do ot take on the critics.
To the contrary, encourage them if that is what they want and need to let their tantrum play out- it is part of maturing and coming at one's senses.
Let me end by wishing everyone a very fine weekend; especially my crtitics.
Love Ya :-*
Of course it is me again, who else ?
Leopold JAMES
The proud, non apologetic James.
