Totally Crucian, the V.I. is not utopia but we can strive to make it a paradise. Sadly, it will remain in a state of confusion because of people like you who have false pride. I prefer to elect a person to office based on honesty and a positive record. Apparently, you elect senators for the simple reason that they are Crucians.The three Crucian senators who you defend have proven that they are not trustworthy. They betray us by passing Act 6905. Their actions showed that they are selfish and greedy.Besides being Crucian, can you explain why we should vote for them? Also,you appear confused when you state that to there is no 100% native. A native is a person who was born in the V.I. A person is either a native of the V.I. or a native of the place of birth.You are a native period. Persons like me who have Carib blood are indigenous Virgin Islanders. There is no pure race. My ancestry include Carib,African, and Danish. The Virgin Islands today has a diverse population. Why should we elect only people who were born in the V.I.? Please respond.

Go to Whim Mueseum and ask for assistance with tracing your family tree. As far as our research with typical Crucian family names we found that each family migrated here from elsewhere there is no 100% native. If you mean your 100% towards your pride as a crucian I will accept. I have great great great grandparents from european and caribbean backround. Know your roots. I am native to where I am born and would not trade it for the world. My pride is 100% crucian.

Totally Crucian means I am 100% for St. Croix Thank you.

I glad to hear all your comments and Iam not imprest. I still say some of you continue to help the St. Croix in a downward spin because of your prejudice of our local family members and friends who serve this community. I would rather live with these Senators in office than to have any of you sitting there. You are so negative and continue to destroy the people who put themselves out there for the betterment of St. Croix. I would like to see you put your self in the race. We all can sit on our thrones and have all the answers to the problems in the community, but would not put yourselves out there? I think I have the answer. You remind me of alot of people I sit with on committees and organizations. You can always see whats wrong with the plan, but you never come up with a better idea. Just talk, talk, talk, and no action, typical.

In order to form a more perfect paradise, I propose that the delegates to the 5th Constitutional Convention draft a constitution that establishes joyfulness and promotes love, unity, and equality. If all the inhabitants are permitted to live nude and express love freely, the Virgin Islands would be a better place. No one should be allowed to purchase land. We should just occupy the land, grow our own food,and just simply live off the land. Outsiders could be invited to join us if they agree to adopt our way of live. Imagine not worrying about paying WAPA bills and hustling to pay other bills. Would’nt life in paradise be more pleasurable if we could just live like my ancestors,the Carib Indians, who are the true indigenous Virgin Islanders? I wish Columbus did’nt discover my ancestral land. Damn! Now I have to share it with David Cover, Senator Russell, and those delegates who resent outsiders and only want so called native Virgin Islanders to own land. But because my ancestors were loving people who lived in harmony with nature, I embrace all people regardless of place of origin,creed, or culture. So, let’s disconnect WAPA and make love more often. Don’t worry, be happy!

Totally Crucian is totally confused. Russell,James, and Serville are the midnight bandits who helped the passage of Act 6905. They were already bought before the 2006 election;Paul Golden gave all the Democrat Senators a huge campaign donation.They are indebted to Paul Golden,that’s why he’s a beneficiary of Act 6905.Why would anyone vote for senators who betrayed the electorate? They continue to rob our trust& treasury by blocking the repeal of Act 6905. Unless you’re also a beneficiary of Act 6905, how can praise the bandits? And since you are positive that they can’t be bought, would you like to assure as that none of these senators is blocking the repeal of Act 6905?

Listen up. AMVI is too small time to be listened to since the host is one of CWT’s former ___________’s (squeek squeek).

Haven’t heard David Cover in some time. Apparently you’re not a fan, but you should consider telling him to get a life yourself.

Now that we have gotten past the strawmen, how about some answers to the questions? These WILL come back to haunt.

Your Worst Nightmare sounds a lot like David Cover did on AMVI yesterday. (get a life David)

As for Totally Crucian, I am 100% native and I sure ain’t voting for any of them. WAPA, WMA, GERS, PSC, VIPD…. With all these problems our leaders are silent, including Governor deJongh. Not one of them getting a vote from me.

Sharlene,

What better place to start to better the islands than to ask for the truth behind those who claim to be agents of change?

Presenting oneself as an angel of light of when in truth they are a child of darkness is very significant when it comes to the credibility of leadership in a grass roots movement, wouldn’t you agree?

A hopeful public will neither overlook nor forgive such chacannery.

Totally Crucian, I’m a local…born, black and raise in estate whim, I’m tired of the misleadership from all those FORMER Senators you’ve mention. According to Obama its time for a CHANGE….you get it?

Let’s focus on the issues and what we can do to better
the islands. While we focus on insignificant issues, others are focusing on real issues and bettering themselves. What are you going to do to address the
crisises we are facing-WAPA, violence, losing the younger generation and the hardships Virgin Islanders
are facing? Let’s be constructive and work together for the common good.
