		<description><![CDATA[I think that you have missed the mark of emotional intelligence, it requires forethought, tolerance and the appreciation to accept opinions that you may not agree with but are willing to eliminate pedantry in response. 

If I criticised everyone who misspelt my name, I would have dug my way to China. I put more value in the substance of an argument, than my spelling Mr HIND, but than I am dyslexic, so let me apologise now if I fail to remember the spelling once I have completed this commentary.

In other words, save your comments to make a valuable point, not a pointless argument. And at this conjuncture, I shall take my own advice...

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Mr Hinds, why not? 

It is a public forum and the government minister placed his proposed iniative in the public domain via the press and their blogs. 

Contrary to what you may believe, ministers do response on blogs or have their iniatives explained to the public via blogs. The world of social media has made the public more accessible to government ministers and vice versa. 

A minister who uses the blogs very effectively is Michael Dunkley, he will take the iniative (of a slightly different kind) to correct any ambiguities or misinterpretations to his proposed polices and/or agenda; direct, accessible and transparent.

Good night, Mr Hinds.

		<description><![CDATA[Have you noted when the legislation came on the books? It certainly did not come into effect 5 or 6 days ago, so your response makes no sense to me. I have NO idea what you comment refers to, but my comment refers to giving us numbers employed since the legislation came into effect up to 31st December 2013. 

I just want numbers, of those employed as a result of this new initiative not excuses, not sarcasm or any attempt to change my question into some long pointless debate.

Numbers would be transparent and accountable from Senator Fahy, or are transparency and accountability not a pledge by this government to the people of Bermuda?

		<description><![CDATA[Very true, we are late to this game and thus are going to have to price ourselves in line with islands to the south. They offer a year round climate, better attitudes toward foreigners and less red tape. We can&#039;t go into this expecting to get a million or so when St. Kitts is doing it for under 500k and property.  Our product doesn&#039;t merrit a fee higher than anyone else. We just aren&#039;t that special anymore.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Senator Fahy, every time you come up with a NEW initiative I have to sit back and brace myself...

Honestly, you do not impress me nor do I impress you, but I am a very frank individual, there is always a hook and line at the end of your initiatives, and it&#039;s transparently in the OBA camp not the Government of the day.

So, first initiative that I note. Job creation recently legislated...How many Bermudians have been employed to date from your NEW initiative? Since close of 2013 at 31st December? Not a projection, an HONEST count, Senator Fahy?

Second initiative that I note, which came out of London via the premier of Bermuda with NO credit being given to the individual whose intellectual property was pirated. An OBA announced initiative by you and the silent premier on international internships, Senator Fahy?

Now this initiative, well spelt out in very rational form, designed to garner support as it will give us the &#039;milky way&#039; to job growth and economic prosperity. Or, is it a way to reward an OBA supporter who have done so much for the political party? Take on the initiative that will see their investment take off the ground?

As I said in my opening comment, I brace myself for your initiatives, Senator Fahy...
