"... the Prime Minister erred on the side of caution and he did so to save lives..."

To "err" - make a mistake. Micah??? What did you really mean? And your "editor" let that word pass? This sentence does not make any sense.

And to blogger #1 - trust you to jump into a grammatical error. "err' = error.

Micah, did you really want to write "veered"? Now that would make much sense, instead of "erred".

And yes, I agree that blogger #1 jumped into that grammar error WHOLESUIT.

This is the one and only time I would agree with PM KIng. The island is already in a vulnerable state with the damage to infrastructure done by Tomas and other heavy rains. The soils are slippery and loose so I agreed to save lives precaution is better than cure. Thank you Mr PM.

Any position the PM had taken would've been criticized nevertheless.

Are we forgetting that stlucia has a 70% illiteracy rate? This statistic even show in how some of those so call journalist write. Sad. Nevertheless let me congratulate Barbados on their elevation in stature from a developing country to a developed country. This is testimony to the importance of having the majority if not all of your population being versed and educated. Keep being a model to the buffoon invested small islands around you. Hope some day they will learn.

I am pretty sure that "to err on the side of caution" is a very popular and age old idiom. Some persons need to put down the glass of rum and pick up a book

How can you blame St Lucians for being 70% iliterate, we must remember we were already in the 21st century and and we did not have enough primary school places muchless secondary places for our children. I could remember there was shift system in Castries, some children had to attend school in the morning and others in the afternoon how insane. All the rich got places easily but the poor had to line up, hussle and waste a lot of time from work to try to get a place. Some children never got places. I will not agree with anyone who say St Lucia could not afford to have more schools, because in those days millions were coming to St Lucia every week from the banana industry. That money mostly benefit the upper class. Also in those days aid was easily available because of the cold war. It had to take the thinking of Kenny and the SLP to build enough schools in the country. Even now you would still see people who have supposinly aquired some education and should know better writing nonesense, saying universal secondary education does not make sense, just because of petty political foolishness.
