As we approach Independence Day, we find we have:

1. No reliable source of electrical power;

2. A failed public health system that is more likely to kill than heal;

3. A D- public education system that is short changing our children who are supposed to be the future of our country;

4. Grocery store prices through the roof, forcing us to eat cheaper unhealthy foods;

5. Horrendous airport taxes making airfares prohibitive for most Bahamians;

6. A banking sector and economy suffering from the serious ill-effects of the criminal enterprises run by the corrupt racketeering numbers bosses;

7. A country over-run by illegal immigrants with all sorts of undesirable consequences for our standard of living, including the wiping out of our Bahamian culture;

8. A failed political system dominated by two equally corrupt parties (FNM and PLP), both of which have demonstrated for years now their inability to attract competent, honest, hard working and respected politicians with statesman-like qualities and the leadership skills necessary to properly govern our country's affairs and attend to the needs of its people;

9. Successive governments with an unfriendly attitude towards the U.S., our bread and butter tourist market;

10. Successive governments having a very cozy relationship with the ruthless communist regime of Red China, a country well known for bribing easily corruptible politicians in other countries to "buy" as much influence as possible consistent with their world domination motive;

11. And so on, and so on....

So what is there to really celebrate about this coming July 10th ?!

... yep!
-$8 billion national debt with nothing to show for it, despite implementing VAT specifically for that purpose,

-Foreign interests dismantling our competitive edge in the financial services industry for their benefit with our help!,

-an undeterred silent invasion by uneducated, non English speaking, low skilled immigrants, and yes the list goes on and on.

I feel like taking an antidepressant!

Light show compliments of BEC/BPL

They're gonna turn-off the lights in our homes so they can have their light show!

Light show not compliments of BEC/BPL... but NOT having lightning strike, bad weather, mysterious fire damaging engines, payloader digging up fuel line, chain hanging over wires, dumping garbage by light pole, repeated not enough electricity production.along with talk dis aint going to happen again........don't you know all dese decades, nation funded operations, some bribery also caught too, big salaries, huge overtime payments, experts, former big contract management ... and no reliable production for nation but blackouts problems excuses blamed on someting else and not gross incompetance. lol

Yeah, we should celebrate. Another boring performance at Clifford park .

Thank God for "life" .................. Don't drink and drive, watch the company that you keep ........ Don't be no fool, stay in school.

By school I hope you mean a private school because a meaningful life is hard to live with a D- or lower education from our failed public education system.

And good old Cesar said 2200 years ago, give them bread and put on a circus to appease the masses.
