Well, Jobblow, your comment is both baseless and spurious. You have no way of knowing the degree of empathy displayed by Symonette towards the victim of this tragic murder. But, hey, don't let facts cloud your empty expressed opinions.

Over the years people in positions of authority have repeated the old saying; "It is just one bad apple." This demonstrates a degree of ignorance. The complete saying is; " One bad apple will spoil the whole barrel." Back in the day the apples were harvested in the autumn and stored for later use in barrels. If one rotting apple was inadvertently included then the rot would spread from the one apple to infect the whole barrel. Just saying.......sigh.

We system in place that was created by sycophantic elected plp politicians designed to give retiring prime minister Pindling a very comfortable retirement. The very large pension awarded to a retiring prime minister is only earned after two terms. This creates an incentive for one term prime ministers to strive mightily to gain a second term. The pension is also paid to the surviving spouse so Pindling's pension is still being paid by the taxpayer even so long after his death.

The wheels of Justice grind slow but exceedingly fine. Why anyone supports his naked political ambition is a puzzle.

Who remembers plp mp obie wilchcombe going to T@C to attend his "cousins" wedding to some movir starlet? This was before the Johm Travolta disgusting debacle, or his infamous text from the jry room. These plp's somit else, I tell you.

The writer says; "The concerned and honourable medical and pharmaceutical fraternity,". It should also be noted that this fraternity is extremely lucrative, those involved are very much invested in protecting their exclusive franchise. This is the basis I suspect of their opposition to anyone else but themselves having control of dispensing medical marijuana.

It would be so good if one of the mega-rich gambling oligarchs was not given the contract to organize this, however one lesson learnt from the corruption smeared Christie plp government is that money given to the right people can buy you future wealth.

If your paycheck is controlled by the circus master, and you are offered the position of vice- putty ringmaster rather than clown-car-clown then you gonna take the opportunity. With very few exceptions people's decisions are based on power and money.

Much of what happens in the political arena occurs unreported behind closed doors. Suffice to say that it may be interesting to see if Robert is granted the government contract, that he has tried to get for so long, under the next administration. sigh.

Please note that no suggestion of a 3 member HOA was made. As for the senate, it is a powerless toothless tiger, and a complete waste of our taxpayers money. The House of Lords in the UK is a ridiculous anachronism. There is talk of major adjustments to the way members are selected.
