St. Maarten Private Eye

Koolaid sales up, new shipments arriving soon.

It has come to my attention that some of the readers out there might not fully understand my reference to Koolaid in my previous blog post here, fortunately Roy has given me an opening to explain.

In the cynical world of blogging, the term 'drinking the koolaid' refers to those who lap up what is provided to them without question. For example, Frankie has been lapping up the Whitehouse Koolaid about Iran, in his speech to announce leaving politics he stated that calamity may come to the World and our tourism economy if the US were attacked by Iraq or Iran. At a time when St. Maarten is going to be broadening it's international presence, it's a good job he's leaving. Most people see the calamity coming Frankie, but it's not Iran that's going to be doing the attacking, at least not at first. As for Iraq......I need say nothing.

There are some that think the GW Video produced by SXM PE played a small part in bringing Roy and Theo to make their first public mentions of global warming, I think it's quite likely that they are two of the 6300+ who have seen it so far. I also hear that a few reporters have actually been asking the commissioners questions and these two articles are the results. Neither are convincing.

Theo's article about planting trees is an echo from the UN, it did not come from him. Roy's article today is the same thing, spurred by the report released last Friday and posted here by Caribdude. This report states quite clearly that the debate about GW is over, there is no argument about what we are doing to our planet.

The argument now is what can we do and how fast can we do it. Sadly, the way legistlation and policy moves on this island, we can expect something in about 2015.

Roy has no vision and most certainly has no real comprehension of what exactly Global Warming is and what it's effects will be. Neither does, Vance James, perhaps someone should send them the link to the SXM PE Global Warming Thread so they can study up.

Someone once told me this about leaders.

There are leaders who hang around in the crowd figuring out which direction it is leaning and then runs to the front and say's follow me. Then there are leaders who do have a vision to share that is inspiring and is worth following. I think you can guess which one I think Roy is.

His record on the environment is all around us.

Watch out for that Koolaid!
