    A belief system is something hardcoded based on how we are socialized, very difficult to detached from it unless exposed to a countervailing disruptive force. Don’t be too harsh on us mere mortals.


  2. Of course it is difficult to detach from ingrained beliefs
    It is not too difficult to suffer the consequences of them however.

    True, but…
    Conversely, you should explore the POTENTIALITY of the human individual.
    If you think that our frailty is stunning, then the POTENTIAL GREATNESS of brass bowls will literally BLOW you away…

    The potential greatness you speak to is antithetical to a resignation of the inevitable espoused by you on the blog? There is wiggle room for hope to shine through then?

    LOL
    The OPPOSITE is true Boss.
    The greatness of which Bushie speaks is coincident with the inevitable.

    Recall the original Bushman explained that in order to experience true life, one must be prepared to die…
    The imminent death of this world as we know it signals the BEGINNING of true LIFE.

    Remember the Crucible Boss…
    This is not ‘life’ that we are experiencing. It is but a qualifying process….mired in brassbowlery.
    Why would you stake your future on brassowlery? …even if you could ‘gain the whole world’ like Bill Gates…

    Bushie can’t wait for the ‘trials and the qualifiers’ to end – and for the the REAL games to start 🙂

    “I tell Mr Alleyne I going and hide . . . . I went and hide under the truck . . . about an hour to two hours. After he [Alleyne] ain’t come out the truck . . . . about an hour to two hours, I hear the gate open,” the witness replied, adding that it turned out to be his boss and police who had arrived.

    “I was lying down on the ground . . . . They call us and I hesitate before I moved.”

    THIS BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES TO ME AT ONE OF MY PREVIOUS STORE LOCATIONS IN THE NORTH UPSTAIRS A WELL KNOW PLAZA THERE WAS A BREAKIN AT NIGHT STAGED IN FRONT OF A SECURITY GUARD WHO ALLEGEDLY FLED ON FOOT TO A GAS STATION TO CALL THE POLICE.

    THE POLICE STATION WAS IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE GAS STATION.

    THE THIEVES IN COLLUSION WITH THE SECURITY GUARD CONTRACTED BY THE PLAZA OWNERS MADE OFF WITH OVER BD$45,000 IN ELECTRONICS ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO.

    EVEN THOUGH THE SECURITY GUARD LATER ADMITTED TO THE DETECTIVE HE SPOKE TO THE THIEVES BEFORE THEY WENT UPSTAIRS, HE COULD NOT REMEMBER WHAT LOOK LIKE, THEY WORE NO MASK.

    YOU THINK THE 2X3 ISLAND EASY.


  9. Improvement, but

    I like the look of the new site but have two comments.
    (1) I like the reply box. made me feel like was filling out an official document.
    I may even sign and date at the bottom

    (2) As we are now showing the latest comments first, I think the older comments and the reply sections should also be at the top. Not certain that the site is stable as the format of the page seem to change…

    The current set-up would be ideal the older posts were appearing first


  10. Last comment.
    Trying to be helpful
    The recent comments disappear when you select a specific blog. That was a quick way to see what others comments were made by others

    Stupes, cause that going increase the value of the pound and fight the highest inflation level in 40 years, along with $100 USD a barrel oil as predicted by Oil Source as a result of Opec cutting production. Man give it a rest and stop grasping at straws do.

    I wonder why with all the above gloom those fools at BA are adding flights for this winter season.

    “I think as early as yesterday [Monday], British Airways had an additional flight going into Manchester and a later flight going into London. . . . So the winter period at this point in time is looking quite lucrative and quite upbeat,” Bourne said.
