It's your civic duty........

*snicker*, .........duty haha.

Today's pat on the back goes out to Simmons electrical HQ over in St. Philip. They're an electrical contractor here in bimshire that've been in business for some time now and their managing director Mr. Allan Simmons has seen fit to purchase a 20' x 30' flag for hoisting outside their offices. I for one would like to re-iterate Mr. Simmons' sentiment on how proud that specific action makes me feel to be 'A bajan', too few locals show a sense of pride in their country (or fail to display such emotions) something that I try to actively encourage.

We've done a helluvalot given what we've got to work with and I feel we as a people need to stand up and reaffirm ourselves as Barbadians and not be scared to make it known to everyone else. Way too many times I've seen others my age willingly to affiliate themselves with other caribbean nations or the good ol' USA and adopt these silly accents, I say fuck 'em.

I, personally, identify with my Barbadian heritage first, then as a member of the caribbean nation second.
