Brad from NL writes: As far as I can see we are still living under the merchant system, has anyone else noticed what they are paying our fishermen? For such a small population we have more resources per capita than anywhere else in the world. Newfoundland and Labrador are making a bigger presence internationally, and this isn't the 1930's and 40's, we have things like internet that anyone in any community can start up their own businesses. Newfoundland and Labrador have been propping up the mainland economy ever since confederation, which in turn put us in the hole even farther. If we had control over our resources, we could be the masters of our own destiny. About the Chevrons of the world, who else was going to develop the oil, they have the know how and the technology. I guess we could always employ the Joey Smallwood oil company. That man should be dug up and hung for the way he gave away this province. Long live the pink white and green.

David Smallwood from NL writes: This is a firset for me and what I am about to say is probably a first as well. To Brad. To even think never mind to be such an absolute idoit to say that Joey Smallwood should be dug up and hung is repulsive. How about we dig up one of your relatives there Brad and hang them. You absolute blundering brainless idiot. In your case Brad hanging would be a useless use of a good piece of rope. I have watched from a far the blabbering of you and this Bones moron. Probably one and the same as some have suggested. Low life scum bags both of you. You make me ashamed to be a Newfoundlander. Is this what Danny Williams has turned our great province into? An ill informed bunch of blabbering idiots.
