Eventually that system was brought to an end, because of the persistancy of the people of that time. A new govermment system all democracy became the new system that the government haf agreed to carry out the people desires. Unfortumately, the same corrupted behaviors comtinue as were before.
Even though they had said that the people was their bosses with their mouths, their actions have been proved opposite.
Now let us fast forward 2600 years, and allow this question to be asked. Is the past corrupted system that fanancially caused a wide imbalance and severe pains to the people of Greece then, is the pains less felt by the people of the B.V.I today?
In the midst of a killer pandemic (covid-19), and a shattered struggling economy, why has our government leaders approved big-money positions to so-call political advisors without even informing their bosses, the people, of their prior intentions. This is not democracy. This is the same old practice of crookery.
May they be fleet of foot,
Quick of wit,
And run like the wind.
May they be bold in the face of adversity,
Hold their nerve when their back is against the fence.
May their hearts beat to the rhythm the cheers of their countrymen and women.as they rise to the occasion.
“ Invictus Launch Audio in a New Window
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.”
Good luck to the British Virgin Islands athletes!
