I listened with interest to the House of Assembly intermittently Monday (October 17, 2011) whenever the opportunity provided itself among myseveral other preoccupations. I wanted in particular to hear the Chief Minister’s response to the issue of the Governor’s Statement to Executive Council on September 8, 2011 regarding the “ill-considered conduct of the Chief Minister and the Parliamentary Secretary” to conclude an MOU with the Starwood Capital Group on their stationery, and “without authorization from EXCO, without the benefit of the advice of the Tourism Investment Committee and without having been seen or negotiated by the AG’s Chambers.”

“Watch that tongue!” Have you ever been told those words at any point in your life? Can you recall the reason why? Have you ever told those words to anyone? Can you recall why you did? Well, many of us were either told to watch our tongue, or have said those words before, at some point in our lives, either to our children, grandchildren, colleagues, friends, neighbours or simply passers-by.
