      Are you an atheist or an agnostic? Or are you a fallen away Catholic, a non-practicing one? I found it difficult to read your comments. Nevertheless, I comprehended some of it.
      Your comment about Good Friday is solely your views which do not represent the Catholic Christian teaching and its members including other Christians.
      Good Friday is a “holy day”. It was established many, many years ago, in the ancient days because this was the day, “Friday”, Our Lord Jesus Christ died “for us”, in atonement for our sins. This is the reason why the day is called “Good Friday”.
      Now this does not mean that we can do as we please and expect to enter Heaven. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Only those who do the Will of His (our) Heavenly Father will enter His Kingdom” according to His Ten Commandments and His teachings and the religious teaching of the Church (1 Timothy 6:3) as contained in Holy Scriptures. Therefore, there are conditions for attaining Heaven. His love, compassion, mercy and forgiveness will help us obtain it, if we recognize Him and worship Him.
      When this holiday – “holy day” comes around next year, keep this in mind and remember why the day is called “Good Friday”. Were it not for Our Lord Jesus Christ and yes, the Catholic Church we would not have this day as a holiday, a day off. On this day, Catholics attend Good Friday Service in memory of Our Lord’s Passion/Suffering, Death and Crucifixion.
      I recall a short hymn which we would sing in DA during Lent when making the Stations of the Cross in Church. It is a hymn of adoration.

      Come let us fall before His Cross
      Who died that we might live.
      Oh Jesus hear our contrite prayer
      And all our sins forgive (2).

      It would be wise for you to read/study Holy Scriptures of specifically the New Testament and also practice the faith for your earthly and eternal benefit. There is no other way to His Sacred Heart. May God enlighten you.

    the traffic department needs to implement an international driving code in Dominica . All candidates for a drivers license ,should pass a written test before passing the practical exam; Only then can drivers be held 100% responsible for their errors. Speed limits should also be put into place . More road signs are needed. AND the driver should always remember that he is responsible for himself and for the other road users ESPECIALLY THE PEDESTRIAN. Wake up Dominica. We are in the 2012.

    I heard a comment on the radio that supports my assumptions of Dominican mentality. It seems like it is ingrained in our psyche to be self- destructive and to have anything good. When an opportunity comes to improve and advance we become critical. We fight among ourselves like peasants and instead of having constructive and meaningful discussions we give each other “mepwi” always on a personal level. Are we lacking in education perhaps. Here we see the island’s infrastructure being improved, beneficial to ALL irrespective of the order of the island’s priorities. This triggered a whole political debate or mepwi I should say, then one would think some road users would enjoy the ride but no, not us, it too good for us so lets use our new road surface to self destruct! No sense of value, appreciation or even respect of others. No awareness of safety! The whole idea of the roads is to improve your land travel experience, prolong the life of your vehicle, improve your environment, raise our standards! But A-las, is it too good for us? Have we not learned from past accidents? It would seem that we were better off with the old roads, we were more restricted at least as had to slow down for a pot hole! Perhaps when the government attempts any other new project in Dominica if must be preceded with and education campaign and some sort of supporting policy to ensure the objective of the project is implemented safely for our own good. So new roads should have traffic controls and speed limits but because we are a “pull string” culture and lawless, let’s face it, who going to challenge anybody for speeding, careless driving and drink driving????? “not I said the police cause I do it too and after all we are friends” so let’s just put each other at risk, kill off and seriously injure one another then we will make a public appeal for funds to go overseas for treatment cause guess what? We do not have the medical facility to fix our injuries. Peasant, self destructive mentality!

      well said. We are so accustom to the old we do not know what to do with the new. I remember once after listening to radio talk show, one caller said that the government should not make the road so smooth in other to avoid the accidents. Can you believe it? ignorance is a bliss. We need to grow up.

    I am getting ready to take my exam to ride a Motocycle in the States. I will send my drivers training book to the registry of motor vehicles in Dominica. It is very helpfull and important to know these things before you ride a bike on the road. Good luck.

      Good Luck… As a former state trooper i too gave the traffic department my traffic regulation with the fines and points that is to be deducted from the license. 12 points in 1 year license suspended for x amount of time. The ASP was glad to have it.. implementing it is another story.

        The term ‘jeep’,with a common letter is now used widely as a generic term for a 4Wheel drive/SUV . ‘Jeep’ with a capital J denotes a particular brand.The same goes for ‘Caterpillar’ and ‘caterpillar’.

    This has nothing to do with Good Friday and all to do with Stupidity. I see them everyday, and they think because they escape that they can continue to drive recklessly.

    The govt has done a great job in improving the roads, however, with that good job there needs to be regulations. There needs to be police on the road giving speeding tickets all day long. Get these officers on the road. I see on under the cliff with a pen and pad, not sure what he can do after the drivers speeds away so fast, that he can hardly identify the license plates. Let every police districts put a couple of officers on the streets in their area periodically to give SPEEDING tickets. It is a shame to see fellas speeding in the place as if they were at Daytona 500.

      It’s not the Chinese or Black Friday!
      We need to get these idiotic young bikers off the streets.
      One way of doing this is to ensure that they carry
      at least $100,00 in insurance to save the government the cost of burying them and to cover the cost of injury to anyone or damage to property.

    Shockingly, what I can say is, “Oh boy!” Let us hope there will be no more whatsoever today or in the future. Obey road regulations and drive safely drivers! Yield to other drivers! Your life and also health are worth much more than speeding. Take your time. You will get there in time and in one piece. This includes your vehicles. Slow and steady wins the race. May God protect you from injuries.
