‘We must pray for a cessation of drug-related activities’- Sandra Phillip-Hodge
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- “We have seen where getting involved with hard drugs, which are illegal, has brought not only shame and disgrace on those who got caught up in it, but it is believed to be the leading cause of gun violence and death among the people, particularly young males. We must pray for a cessation of drug-related activities and the negative consequences associated with it.”

Expecting their Vaccines to save our Nation:
We would all like to pride ourselves in being our Brothers’ Keepers, but clearly Family Affairs are being replaced with a Dog-eat-Dog Mentality… Mother Nature is annoyed, Father Christmas is absent and the Auntie Bertha and Uncle Sam we have known, still promise much but deliver little… After 3 Centuries, we are still comfortable being fooled and too afraid to speak out against Traditional Injustices.

As it was in the Beginning…:
As we enter the Year 2020, the very name suggests a clear vision of what is before us but the past years have taught us that even good things turn bad and, whether natural or man-made disasters; hurricanes, earthquakes, cancer or asthma, we are seeing crises like never before… Today’s children are now as affected as their grandparents and we truly need a policy of putting health first.

Leaving the past behind:
This has been a turbulent year of high drama - We saw the passing of a 1st Premier, the election of a Brexit advocate as Prime Minister, a US President impeached for being unfit for office and the hasty alienation of 1500 VI Rights and Privileges… For better or worse, each of these events can and will affect many of us individually and collectively; positively or negatively; in the short term or in the long term.

Mommy is the World really coming to an End?
As the World turns we continue to be burdened globally by Social and Climatic Changes - Typhoon in China, Hurricane in Texas, Floods in the West Indies, Wars in the Middle East, Lies and Deceit in Politics and a Total Eclipse of the Sun – None of these individually guarantee the end of the World but rather than work to make it better too many are giving up in despair and are preparing for Imaginary Heaven.

Independence not in best interest of VI- Conrad A. Maduro
