Confusion Reigns

So I'm thinking about Bank of Bermuda's plans to redevelop the Trimmingham's building into a seven-story banking centre with area for retail shopping. There have been objections from people here on the basis that it will negatively affect the look of Front Street, take away the Bermudian charm, etc.

I understood the objections, although I'd still support the Bank's objectives. However, I realized something. Where were the objections when people were allowed to have custom U.S.-styled licence plates, paint their cars all manner of colours, install enormous speaker systems and the like? Please. The old Bermudian charm is already an endangered species.

When a woman that you're interested in is actually encouraging you to date other people and not put all your eggs in one basket, what does that say about the woman's actual interest in you? Perception is an amazing thing, isn't it...
