Wells has survived the cutthroat business of politics for far longer than I suspected he would. The PNM now has a fall guy. Lets see if he survives this!

This means we ca expect additional power outages within the next two weeks!

@moncurcool... you don't have to be a doctor to be a good minister of health (Minnis and Sands prove the point). You simply need to be able to process information given by advisers and make decisions. If I remember correctly Perry Christie was once minister of heath.

... I'm sorry but Sands is not the answer. Apart from better communication , he was a failure as well. Not only is contact tracing a laugh, but tracking infected, self isolated persons is a joke as well!
Anyone with an ounce of common sense who can receive data, organize it and make a decision can do a better job than Sands or Minnis. They are lifetime civil servants in health who have no regard for healthcare in this country! Educated people are running this country and failing. We need more people with common sense!

I nominate Dr. Minnis to be a living recipient of the Darwin award!

... you seem to confuse role playing (as actors do) with a person embracing a lifestyle because of deeply held beliefs which cannot be objectively supported, or did you not read the article? Do you not know what a transgender person believes?
An anorexic takes the course of action they do, not because they are simply role playing, but because they hold beliefs that are not grounded in reality. That is the definition of a delusion.
The attempt to throw around the word 'bigoted' to negatively label another is rooted in not having a logical response to an argument and an attempt to shame and shut down further dialogue. Notice I am not intimidated!

... and I thought the reference was to trying to suppress the urge to heave, because I failed and heaved twice!

I am shocked. Nobody expected this could happen!

Mental illness requires intervention not reinforcement!

Putting a Mercedes logo on a Ford truck does not transform the former into the latter. Society should not be forced to agree that it does in the name of 'tolerance.'

Some delusions must be resisted for the greater good!
