Long Island has all the makings of **a sheep farming industry out island,** and should openly be welcoming back home of all the **Sheepruners** that over the years has relocated to Nassau Town.

boy. They throwing all the populist nonsense against the wall now. They have no intention of sticking to any of it. When the foreign man say I need 95%of the profit they'll say thank you so much! then tell us how fortunate we are that the investor spending money in our country to pay foreign labourers to do the work.

So the PLP is trying to play like they into Sidney Poitier? The same PLP that Poitier protested by leaving the Bahamas until the FNM became the government? It si true that those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it. Pure politics.

Its funny cause they have the words sustainable and successful exploitation in the same sentence.

Its also funny because Bourreria succulenta grows throughout Florida and the caribbean and the "traditional knowledge" is common to the entire caribbean region not just the Bahamas. Bethels comments are conceited and uninformed at best. Is this the best we can do for leaders of the country? Have any of them ever picked up a book other than the communist manifesto?

Most Bahamians would be surprised to learn that nearly all of our statute law comes about as a result of being promoted by the 'special interests' who stand to benefit the most from the new legislation. These 'special interests' through their legal representatives usually have a very heavy hand in the drafting of the new statute they want enacted to serve their interests.

And more often than not, the interests of the promoters of the new legislation are not aligned with, but rather diametrically opposed to, the interests of the Bahamian people. Nevertheless our legislators are only too willing to accommodate the statutory needs of these 'special interests' because of the financial and other rewards all too frequently showered on our corrupt political leaders or their political party.

Of course we also have the global alphabet soup agencies like the IMF, OECD, FATF, etc. to thank for jamming down our throats the many new statutes that they have a very heavy hand in drafting, most of which have a foreign purpose and agenda not at all aligned with the interests of the Bahamas and the Bahamian people. It's also well known that our legislators frequently enact legislation that has simply been copied lock, stock and barrel from other jurisdictions in our region of the world. Such copied legislation invariably is later found wanting in many respects and requires numerous amendments, often to the point of making it unwieldly, cumbersome and most difficult to read and interpret as regards intent.

In summary, for decades now our parliamentarians (with the help of the AG's Office) have been pretty much rubber stamping most of our new statute law without any real legislative process that ensures the interests of the Bahamian people are being respected and well served. I suspect this is very much the case for this latest new bill for an 'Act to Provide for the Protection and Sustainable Use of Biological Resources and Traditional Knowledge.'

Mr/Ms Tribanon have you considered running for political office. You appear to know everything about everything. Please do us a favor.

A nation for sale. . .the legacy of LOP and all he trained. . .all for me baby. . .the heart and soul of the PLP party. . .and FNM/PLPs persons!! Take time to review all of our crappy deals where the Bahamian people get their "tails" handed to them for so much unfairness done on their behalf!! All deals EITHER THE UBP or PLP negotiated the deals! Check them out. . .now the FNM tend to come around and "leave-well-enough-alone". . .then everybody talks about "for the peoples them".

So Bethel has admitted up to now the public has been shafted by the government. Well that's one step forward. Now time to take the mandatory two steps back.

Doesn't the colony's AG Comrade Carl Wilshire, **looks like em's much too Mr. Minnis weathered overdue** to be in attendance for an **Old Time Holy Ghost Pentecost Sunday Night Revival Service.** You knows, Satan, gon' fight likes all hell to keep em's claim in place?

Tal you have a big problem this election. . .your leader is a political duck that the Bahamian people can't waddle with! Even though the FNM leader seem to "gone deft" to his ministers and their incompetent crony leaderships have created (especially the department of education) . . .Mr. Davis placed many of swing voters in a bad position. . .Davis appears bad new as PM!! So unless someone like Alfred Sears is nominated to carry that party into election. . .your party don't stand a ghost of a chance!!

Mr. Davis political style is an affront to good political leadership. . . especially since he has to lead a group of "raiders" like classical PLP party members!! HE WILL DENY THAT HE DID SOMETHING EVEN AFTER WE ALL OBSERVED HIM DOING SO!!
