    And its always bus drivers. Out of the total number of accidents in Dominica in the last year, how many included bus drivers???? Do something about it before its too late. Test these drivers for drink and drugs. They need to do a different driving test as well from the ordinary driver.

    The people that are getting into accidents should be tested for alcohol. Is there a link between carnival and these accidents? If alcohol found in their blood, their licence should be suspended. And no, I don’t know if alcohol was the cause, it might be speeding, but whatever the cause, and accident happens because of carelessness somehow!!! Toughen up Dominica on your driving laws!

      You again! Do not be presumptuous. I hope your heart is well with God and free of blemish.
      Holy Scriptures: “All have sinned and have fallen short of God’s glory.” Examine your conscience, past and present.

      Pray for them. Are you praying for yourself, your family, your country and nationals and the world in general? Were you taught that you are also obligated to pray for them?

      Why would you say something like that, wait until its your turn and then we will talk. Hope you’ll like the negative comments. Stop judging others who the hell are you. The bible says no one knows the time or the hour. Pray for your closet skeletons instead.

      What horrible things you believe of God.

      You must also think God is incompetent and has bad aim, if you think God is displeased with Carnival celebrations and yet can’t show it except by overturning one bus to cause minor injuries.

      Or this was just an ordinary car accident. Which is more likely?

      Should people look at the next accident or calamity you experience in your life and try to imagine why you deserved for God to make it happen to you?

      Also, life during Lent, a time of penance and sacrifice, leading up to Good Friday, Our Lord Jesus Christ’s Passion and Death. Then, Easter, the Resurrection of Our Lord. With the help of God, life continues after this as well.
      On Wednesday, Lent commences and all faithful Christian Catholics will receive ashes. This is our reminder and for every living person, “Dust to dust, ashes to ashes was not spoken of the soul.” Those who have predeceased us know this too well and the Truth, wherever in eternity they may be.
