EDITOR, The Tribune.
After all is said and done, there are three points I wish to share:
1) Voting to defeat the Constitutional Amendments because you don’t like or trust the government is like filling your gas tank with water because you have a beef with the service station.
2) A vote to treat everyone the same under the law is not a vote of conscience.
3) There is no law anywhere that will never be abused. That is why the court system exists.
It is most unfortunate that almost 50 years into Independence we should even be having this conversation. We have so much other work to do.

1. the more correct analogy would be using the gas that you already have instead of using this "new" gas since we don't trust it because it's foul smelling.
2. Yes it is a vote of conscience, as people believe different things, and it is your opinion that all people should have "equal rights". Unless you have proof for moral absolutes, then everyone creates their own morality. Of course those with power, will push their view of morality on you (cough cough, the government and international organizations).
3. I think the Bahamian people chose not to subject themselves to any such abuse in this matter by voting NO and if the court system is biased and/or doesn't work properly, how would it help propel the wishes and expectations of the Bahamian people?
