Lively conversation. Thank you for all of the opinions, as we all have one. It was great hearing from a number of Non-Belongers who object to this petition. Please note that, as a fellow Non-Belonger, this is not my cause and I am not pushing my own agenda. I simply wanted to bring awareness to a Belonger who is trying to make change within his own culture. I also observed from the petition that many other BVI residents also support this cause. So I'm a little lost on the recent posts that this is an outsider's agenda to push an unwanted change on the locals. Again, I simply wanted to raise awareness of someone else's efforts to make change within his own culture. While there have been a few who have objected in this thread, it seems that the petition gathered another 1,500 signatures in the past week (both BVI residents and tourists) who think otherwise. <out>
