I applaud your strength and clarity of vision and purpose. Unfortunately the world is full of those who are apparently gather their education by watching daytime TV shows. They are easy prey for nefarious individuals masquerading as saviours. Tsk-tsk but it’s what makes the world interesting albeit dangerous. Let us hope they don’t assume positions of power and proceed to make poorly conceived decisions for the general population. Chavez comes to mind.

Tell us what you know. Can you compose beyond three lines? Demonstrate your literary skills; elaborate on what is it you now know.

What are your educational credentials? How do you evaluate the proposed VI Constitution? We all know of your animosity towards me, but we do not know your opinions on the issues. COWARD!

Calling him a “class clown” surely gets the your anti-infantile agenda across :/

I always wanted to know who that CONFUSED individual who calls Jimmy with ONE issue was. Did the delegate “kill your black fowl”?

Thank you for the feed back and concerns relating to drafting a legal document.

First let me say that criticizing the behavior of someone is not being personal. I do not hate any sinner, because I am also a sinner. I despise the behavior or misbehavior of public figures since they are influential. Impressionable,naive individuals may perceive their performance as being correct and acceptable. Silence is approval. If no person condemns the misbehavior it would appear to be acceptable. Do you consider physically threatening other delegates as acceptable behavior?

Just like you’ve asked why delegates do not produce documentation , may I ask for evidence that I have berated the delegate you are defending. Notice that I have never once mention his name. I challenge you to prove that you’ve heard me mentioned his name. I simply do not condone his infantile behavior.

Let’s discuss the issue of class size. As I am a teacher for more than 2 decades, I have the authority to speak about this idea;it is not a novel one. You do not have to be an educational expert to know that small class sizes or decreased teacher vs pupil ratio is ideal.In fact, at the present time the enrollment of students in public schools has declined and the average class size is now 15. Why legislate that the class size be 20. Using a specific # for a situation that changes according to circumstances or not taking into account its feasibility is problematic. Further, what’s in Florida Constitution might not be applicable to the VI. Our educational systems are not identical.The issue,therefore, is not whether it is constitutionally right or not;it is a matter of practicality.

The role of the legislators is to draft legislation and the executive branch administered the law. Do you not think that the delegates are acting as legislators and are undermining the Department of Education? What inspired them to insert language concerning class size without first consulting with the VI Government & Board of Education? They act as if they are the Almighty.

The VI Constitution should be as flexible as the U.S. Constitution. Constitutions should be able to withstand the test of time and reflect the will of the people. We do not know our future for certain, but we can certainly shape our destiny. I want a tolerant, unified and just society for my descendants. I want them to know that I fought for a brighter future for them and a VI Paradise better than the one I departed.

Do you read the Daily News? This newspaper and other media have reported that the two attorneys of the convention have admonished the delegates that the native-born governor clause violates the U.S. Constitution. I have come to this same conclusion, although the 3rd drafted constitution was approved by the U.S. Congress.

I fight tooth and nail for any cause that I am passionate about. I am a human rights activists and a firm believer in the egalitarian principle. I ran to be a delegate to the 5th Constitutional Convention, but I was unsuccessful. However, I am not a loser. Quitters are losers. I am determined for the VI to get its own constitution like Puerto Rico and the 50 states of the USA.

I will continue to advocate for justice. I am an Ancestral Native Virgin Islander as well as a proud American. I love my President & my country.

My numerous articles published in the Daily News, St. Croix Avis & St. Croix Source demonstrate my commitment & dedication as a law-abiding, civic-minded humanitarian.

Take the issue of the class size. Delegate Moorehead showed that it is in the Florida Constitution, far more specific than they propose for the VI Constitution. That’s what proper research produces. Or take for instance the native clause issue. For all the noise about the native clause, the 4th Constitution was passed by the US Congress with a native clause. If there is a problem with the constitutionality of any proposed clauses, why are you and some of the delegates fighting tooth and nail against those clauses? Congress is full of lawyers, President Obama is a lawyer, and they all have staffs of lawyers to vet the document. Congress will remove whatever they deem unconstitutional before sending it back here for a vote. Cool down and let the process go forward.
