Truthfully, fiat money produced out of thin air as an electronic entry devoid of real value but attached with usury is criminal and unlawful.
Ask Iceland. Repudiate the debt.

Hardships placed upon à populace at the behest of international bankers are evil. Worldwide debt forgiveness is in order.That would be a remarkable gift from the international Khazarian banksters to
“We the People” of the world.

Larry is right that AC is not the end of all problems, however it is a big step in the right direction. If we can build on, use the spotlight to our advantage and NOT screw it up with crazy industrial action, it can be a great trampoline to the next step. Keep pushing Bermuda and don’t let negativity pull you down.

It will do no more than the golf tour that was suppose to put Bermuda on the map. We don’t hear much about that today even though it was more than a one time event. It will be another scramble to explain how much Bermuda got back from the millions spent on it. By 2017 I am sure the Cuban factor will be effecting Bermuda; something the much vaunted Tourism Authority has little or no answer for.

AC is at least a start, Larry. Slicing some fat outta the civil service work force might be a better one.

Exactly. It’s a step in the right direction, and having it is better than not having it!

If we are successful with this, perhaps future AC’s will be held here.

Agreed TD…

Larry… I don’t believe Government has ever said or believed that AC would be a golden egg for Bermuda. What has been said is that if we work together and make this an event of the higest caliber it could get Bermuda well on the right track to recovery…

No, the AC will not be some magical savior. Like a fireworks display it will lead up to a Grand Finally, then with a great BOOM, it will be all over.

It is what we do & how we do it leading up to that BOOM that will determine long-term effects after the AC.

Bemuda, don’t screw up.

NO, NO, NO I Never believed that Burchall, I think the OBA convinced its OBAers of that only……..I like you believe that ……”I’m finding that the America’s Cup, AC17, has much in common with belief in a Fairy Longtail.”

“Seems to me that, led by the Government, most of Bermuda has begun believing that AC17 will end the recession and rescue us from the clutches of those evil Foreign lenders.”……………While I seldom agree with you.,…I do on this one……continue on…

legalize marijuana and the tourist will come. They fly to Amsterdam and colorado and they will certainly fly here to smoke on the beautiful beaches. We can have one beach that you can smoke on in each end of the island.
