I agree with you Godson, but i think inspiring leadership in these islands is but an intangible dream these days.......
so people are looking for practical, albeit dramatic, solutions for the society we live in. I think people support the fight against ISIS..... in that fight people are killed. I think retrospectively we support our vets in the role they played in WWII against Hitler.... again, people were killed.... I look through the Old Testament... many examples of the same.... What about leadership in those examples? Is it bad leadership to oppose violent threats in a hard-line and aggressive manner? When at war is it bad leadership to enter a battle where lives will be lost?
I understand people have bleeding hearts about Capital Punishment, considering it murder. It is under certain perspectives murder. But under that perspective being arrested is also kidnapping and paying taxes is also extortion....... The difference is that the gov't is preforming these things for the safety and betterment of all society
At least the future murders won't be committed by re-offenders.... which i believe is part of the problem with our inflated homicide rate... many of these killers have killed already
I think many would consider him our most successful Governor. He did end the Pirates Republic (the previous government of these islands) by hanging and the threat of hanging. I think that's pretty well documented. His success may have only been short-term... but Rodgers couldn't live forever, so i'd say yes, during his lifetime, quite successful
Ya know what... Woodes Rodgers came here, said if i ein hang all dese bey dem, nuttun guh change... so he come out say look here, i guh hang all a y'all, if u ein want to get hang... den i got a job for you.... Long story short..... pirate problem solved!!! (at least during Rodgers lifetime.... )
take the profits out of healthcare?!?!?! You think people will make such a huge investment in medical school to graduate to a job where they earn no profits........ ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Take the PROFIT out of being an MP first!!!! then we guh talk!

So right.... the criminal element definitely has the upper-hand.... they're all in the HOA
