'Time for Independence!' - radio show caller
The caller who did not reveal his name said that he is among the five percent of the citizenry who want independence for the Virgin Islands.
"I am one of the five percenters who want independence for my country," said the caller.
“Even as an independent country we are still going to spend American dollars… it is not going to change,” he said.
“I don’t care one way or another [about the new Governor]. I want independence,” the man insisted, following the host of the show Doug Wheatley asking what his thoughts were on the arrival of the new Governor His Excellency John S. Duncan OBE and his recent statements regarding the Commission of Inquiry into the Ports Project.
“Whether the Governor come or he don’t come it doesn’t bother me. I want independence,” said the caller.

Emty Barels makes a whole lot of noise; Some people may be mis-educated while others are uneducated, but it is for the educated to tell the foolish uneducated to just shut-up and go find something to play with. (Ask this same caller who sends the Governor and why; And I am willing to bet money he don't know the answer, and that is all I have to say!)
