    Yall realize for all this talk about women not being in positions of power in the BVI, that a majority of the government is actually run by women, from permanent secretaries, attorney general, dpp, cabinet secretary, magistrates court, tax, auditor general, and more and more, etc.

      I don't know what more power they want. I guess the few men left must go of into the hills and plant crops.

    If you all cannot say anything positive, then say nothing at all. You do not look good on green.
