Bruha tera, pa nan no mira loke mi ta hasi mintras tantu. Create confusion for others not to notice what I am doing in the mean time. Do what all you want as long as you do not disturb me. That's the impression some wise heads have about how this country is run. And then the other consensus is that instead of the Members of Parliament getting together to try to create or alter legislation that will help to give everyone a better life they are constantly at each others throats and the Ministers are laughing at them because the are clearly showing that they are not aware of the authority given to them. They are still going about there business as if they are members of an Island Council and not of Parliament. Because I reacted to the behavior of a representative of the people I was told that that gentleman is under enormous pressure from his boss and that not only his seat but also his job could be in jeopardy. And then again I am going to say he does not know his rights as a Member of Parliament and also he should check the wording of the oath that he took. Along with that if he has proof of being threatened then follow the steps of the law, but do not, not have a life. And the people should definitely not have to accept this kind of action from their representative. And I will even go further and say that if this gentleman continues is this fashion then he is giving proof that he is acting and should go to Hollywood, but do not keep collecting a salary to be a puppet. I do not think a puppet salary is mentioned in the budget of Members of Parliament. When you get yourself in certain positions you have to be prepared for people to talk about you. I have had my share, during my days but I can say with a very clear conscience that I treated everyone fair. And that is not what is being said of MP Jules James these days. What I have to say about that situation is that Jay Jay have to read the book of Exodus , which should not be strange to him because I am told that he preaches and that hard working people -just like those he laid off- of his congregation got him elected. I want to know if he went back and preached since all this is happening and how did he justify his actions to his congregation. There might be separation between church and state/politics but as far as I know there is separation between church and work. Remember "by the sweat of thy face thou shall eat .." How do you expect them to eat if they are not allowed to sweat. Or is it because you do not sweat but eat from two salaries you think that everyone is the same. Challenge this if it is not the truth. I have given advice to many many over the years. Let me give you one little tip. It is about four hours long but find the movie of the story of the Ten Commandment and look at it in private and probably that might bring you real christian feelings. But you know something it would be a miss of me to charge only you with inhumane practices, because the way this world turns no one person acts this way on his own, so all of the above cold serve for whoever is behind you in this matter. And again I have to refer those sayings. This one is "All crave all lost". I always ask myself what does it do to person when he or she acts inhumane towards other people. Is it a sense of satisfaction is it a sort of a sweet soothing feeling. I'm willing to know because even why I was working and I arrested someone who committed a real cruel act I did not want to eliminate them. I always wanted to know what could drive a person to do such things to another human being like himself. In this case another one hundred human beings like yourself. I do not know if I am saying it correct but there is some saying about do not get blood of another human being on your hands (I stand to be corrected) and then there another one of the cries of so many falling on you. There is still time to correct that wrong. Or are you also afraid to risk your job. Again I'm asking this because I want to know what leads people to this kind of behavior. I have had one or two occasions when I was afraid to shave because I would have to look myself in the mirror. Can you? Brother I do not care what the judge ruled. I will not tell you that you are despicable, but I believe that your deed in this case is. But it is your deed not mine. Check the mirror and then ask yourself if you really can go back on that pulpit. I think if nothing changes there would be a hypocrite on that pulpit. I have another question why do elected officials think they can hide on St.Martin by using tinted glass or rentals. Constantly changing of phone numbers tell me that you do not want to be bothered then change them also during you the time that you are campaigning. You do not live in those vehicles and there are people out and about twenty four/seven. If you do not do anything not to want to be seen then you should be able to traverse your island without fear. Do you have a life? Again there is still time to correct those wrongs. Exodus. Russell A. SIMMONS
