I have already cast my vote in this Barbados Election 2008

Yes I did,at around 6.30 am.....I was there only to be surprised that I had to wait in a fairly lengthy line.Does that mean that there is going to be a high voter turnout? I don't know but I was surprised by the relatively high number of young people at that early morning time waiting to vote....but then again the St.James south constituency is a pretty large one.......

What I don't like is the practice of writing the ID number on the ballot paper...that is a means for people to identify who you voted for and although Barbados is very mature when it comes to these things ...it is something that needs to be looked at....

One of the funniest stories is the one of the bearded fig tree and the name Los Barbados which was supposed to mean 'the bearded one'. In the words of Gary Cole from the book reflections; The Colonization of Barbados is one of the darkest events and evil stories of modern history.Four centuries ago,Spanish and Portuguese slavers started to kidnap,kill and drive out the thousands of peaceful Indians found on the island the Indians called Ichirouganaim.The exact location of the island was a carefully kept secret but Spanish and Portuguese soldiers and sailors knew the island as the barbarous island,"Los B
