Yes Pedro, the Chamber of Commerce is against crime. As you get older and wiser (Oh, sorry, you are already older), you will realize that life consists of an array of degrees. Pain, pleasure, and even crime.

As a business organization, being against all crime does not preclude us from being more concerned about more serious crimes like murder, rape, and those causing bodily harm.

Our existence is to deal with the biggest issues that effect tourism and our island's attractiveness. Not that the little issues are not important, but one step at a time is a more practical approach.

Even among the drug crimes, being more concerned about "crack" that even turns the user against their own families, than other drugs is not an unrealistic attitude.

There is a law against drinking outside, and I am sure you will agree, that is pretty low on many people's list of concerns when compared to crimes involving bodily harm to others.

These Message Boards often get silly and petty, and glad that some people get enjoyment out of them, but the Chamber would rather not extend them by useless debates. We are too busy actually trying to accomplish something.
