Dear Sir,

In the past, Bermuda was a peaceful island (okay, we still had crime and other issues, but they weren’t extreme). Now, you have all those things plus corruption (people could talk about Marc Bean giving his daughter ganja tea but, they won’t talk about the economic crime. They’ll discuss how the Progressive Labour Party is but never, about anything the One Bermuda Alliance’s doing).

What’s worse is the fact Bermuda, turned from an island of British schools, to some crazy American school system, with all these stupid middle schools, instead of keeping Whitney Institute as a secondary school and Sandys Secondary Middle School as a secondary school, in addition to Berkeley Institute being a secondary school. CedarBridge Academy, is run by a principal who dislikes seeing students wearing school cardigans, when she ought to be focusing more on their grades (what does a sweater that has buttons, have to do with a student getting As, Bs, Cs, Ds, or even Fs? Absolutely nothing I would assume).

White’s & Sons in Warwick is now a building that looks like junk, and so is the one down Southside, and Trimingham’s/Smith’s don’t exist anymore. If you think that’s bad, Archie Brown & Son (a store that sold vintage Shetland wool cardigans for women/Fair Isle cardigans also for women), failed to exist.

There was nothing wrong with the old fisheye styled cardigans and it’s stupid, English Sports Shop sells a completely different look altogether (bronze plated cardigans ... should’ve stayed with vintage). In addition, unlike actual British countries, they only sell Charles Kirk schoolwear (other countries sell Rowlinson’s, Zeco’s, Banner, Chantry, and other school brands in addition to Charles Kirk), so why is Bermuda stuck on one brand only?

Gibbon’s Company even sold Trutex cardigans/even Zeco’s school cardigans in the 70’s-90’s era in brown, navy, green, grey, royal & even white and now, because Amazon US doesn’t sell the old Blueberry Knitting cardigans, from Cookieskids.com they, now sell some weak looking navy blue only cardigans that Bermudian students are forced to wear.

Even Pirate’s Port made a dramatic setback (they once sold Chantry school cardigans in grey/navy blue only). Just because girls weren’t interested in the crew neck type, the company overseas couldn’t continue sending numerous V-neck types ... now that store’s popularity is simply on the Harrington Sound royal blue cardigans (and get this, girls are interested in wearing crew neck cardigans again ... huh?).

Bermuda, is no longer the Island that once existed long ago (now it’s overrun by foreigners taking over Bermudians’ jobs and what’s worse is, it’s multiplied ... I don’t have anything against a foreigner coming here to visit the country, or even to stay for a month or two but, to be here forever and Bermudians are now forced out of jobs, and they just move on in ... some speaking barely any English even, that I have a problem with and, it won’t end in this wicked system ... sad but true).

Besides, decriminalisation is better than legalisation because, getting marijuana into the wrong people’s hands, can put Bermuda into a lot of shame.

If people use it for medical purposes only or, caught with a small spliff (meaning no Stop List), fine but other than that, it should still be listed as illegal.
