The Pill Kills

Sometimes you really got to wonder about some of these people. “Protest The Pill Day - 2008. Tagline: The pill kills babies”

From the beginning, the pill has been an abortifacient, meaning it can cause abortions.

Hmm.. obviously there are those unable to differentiate between contraception (ie: blocking conception from occurring) and abortion.

Old Grenada Flag

I was browsing around online the other day and discovered an image of the pre-independence flag of Grenada, while we were an associated state from 1967 to 1974.

grenada associated state flag

This flag was adopted in 1967 when the island became a British associated state. It was replaced by the present flag when Grenada became independent in 1974. <…..> The emblem is the nutmeg which grows throughout Grenada (otherwise known as the Spice Island) and grows downwards inside of a yellow pod. The red in the emblem signifies the mace that grows on the outside of the nut and is also used as a spice.

Colour me ignorant but I never knew we had a country flag prior to independence - I thought we just fell under the Union Jack. Further research revealed that five different flags have been flown for Grenada!

Interesting trivia - the associated state flags of Grenada, St Vincent and St Kitts are all strikingly similar. It appears that the College of Arms may have been attempting to create a “family” of flags for the former West Indian Federation islands.

Grenada: blue - yellow - green horizontal with oval white borderd red in the centre (and an upside down flower in the white)
St Vincent: green - yellow - blue horizontal with lozenge white bordered blue in the centre (and a flower in the white) Apparently this flag was never used
St Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla: blue - yellow - green vertical black palm tree on the yellow area

Fascinating!
