I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

1.Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

3.Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

4.Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

5.Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

6.Thou shalt not kill.

7.Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8.Thou shalt not steal.

9.Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

10.Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

A recently released convict who has also been fined for his involvement in an international ponzi scheme… – even the PLP would want to wait a couple of years before they backed him as a candidate.

But here’s a more machiavellian prediction –

We all know that there is a rift in the PLP between the more moderate types and the hardcore types.

Perhaps it would serve somebody’s interests to put up Andre as a candidate against a moderate PLP incumbent in a seat that is so safe that either Andre or the PLP candidate would win no matter how the vote splits.

Kim Wilson is standing in constituency 34 (Sandys South Central?). At the last election the PLP got 70% and the UBP 30%. Even if the PLP vote was split exactly in half, the OBA would still need a 5% swing to take the seat. And it’s v unlikely the PLP vote would split exactly in half, meaning more like a 10% swing or more would be required for the OBA to pose a threat.

So, if Mr Curtis were to stand as an independent in a solid PLP seat, with a well-organised campaign behind him, could he win the seat?

If he REALLY has the answers, and he REALLY can stop the gang warfare, then he should just do it. Why the need a microphone and an audience? Just do it, and when he brings it all to zero for longer than six months, and can look me in the eye and say it was all his doing, only then am I going to listen to him and take him seriously.

As far as I can see, the fact that this guy was on a public forum saying he spoke to angels and people take him seriously, is christian extremism.

The lack of a casino in Bermuda due to religious high-horsery is christian extremism. I know this isn’t America but the fact that the church has so much pull on this island is scary, especially when people are as ridiculous as this clown Curtis.

Do you believe that an angel spoke to Curtis? Like I asked earlier?

These guys would not have a hope in a real democracy.

Can anyone tell me who many of the reported 7000 that gathered at National Stadium were tourists? It that gathering consisted of primarily Bermudians, it cannot be considered a successful Tourism product.
In the same vein, I’d like to better understand Mr. Curtis’ statement that “$200,000 for the first year insufficient to help 52 churches.” I didn’t know Tourism was supposed to be helping churches, whether here or abroad. I thought the aim was to create strategies to portray Bermuda as an attractive place to visit. Perhaps we had to pay the church members to come here?
