   When an army goes in to battle  it would not be a good idea  to tell their opponent  how many ships, tanks ,and planes they have . ou ca Tripple the number of prisoners you have.

  Playing the game of  cards it is best  for an oponunt to hold their cards close to their chest.

  It took years to accumulate the debt created by lack of for -thought  and it will take years to disolve it .

  Frankly,  I do not blame Ms. Crockwell for having the presence of mind and give of her time  and effort for benefit  of Bermuda .

  To be blunt to have the raw mentality adapatility to put her self in the dock and  take  courage  to efectively  chase the vultures  away in order  to convince her electorate of her viability and ability to do her  best to save this island  from sinking below the waves .

 It is not for  good for people to past unfavorable  judge meant on another desires and ability  before the test of  time is  to be considdered most  unfair .

 Did we not see the writing on the wall.

   Bermuda has been far too long on the wrong road to no where  an now we pay the price  for the hand outs.

  &quot;watching&quot;  why  do you  take the easy way with out by offering critisism , would it be wise to  just give second thoughts as the saying goes. fools rush in where angel fear to tread . prudent comes in here  to question.

&quot; measure twice an cut once &quot; with your  solutions.  it is not what you do in life that matters it is how you do it.

 Doing some thing is better than doing nothiing , that is what we have been getting . Has it been the blind leading the bind  for years 

 I would try to reduce the interest  for starters on our debt  we get speculation as interest burdens the principal repayment. 

 Want to pay one third for  the car  get a loan .

I look at it that i have  been forced  to  buy into into some thing we did not need.

   All  Airports have two doors slow  IN and  fast OUT .
 our Airport is a exit airport .

  Ms. Crockwell  may be mis informed  how can you know or they are not telling on the amount  our national debt  in  the news never the less an unrealistic amount  we have been given a water side  concrete block  to wish it to be a lump of silver .
you can you not have a little faith.
 
   It is not good to judge the future by the past.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ms. Crockwell, if you want to vote for the best solutions (laudable), where do the solutions come from? Where are your own solutions? Where is your platform? How do the voters in your constituency know what you believe and what you support? Do you have proposals to correct the issues you identify? They certainly know you&#039;re against party politics. Is there anything else?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Independent representation is not thriving in the Cayman, as their government has had several shutdowns as their support of whoever they have chosen to be the Government has changed several times.  What the business world needs is stability.  Independents are not that.

Ms. Crockwell and many others have very articulately (and in some cases dramatically) expressed the problems that plague Bermuda.  But they have done little to articulate their plan to solve these problems.  They blame the Party system for what it has failed to do, but what will they as Independents do, and how?  Until they can articulate in detail their plans, how do they intend to win the confidence of the electorate, or is their plan to hope for support of the disillusioned?]]></description>
