Pastor Moss has certainly started an interesting dialogue with his letter but why attack the messenger? The real question is whether Junkanoo Carnival should continue and this is an opportune time for meaningful dialogue on this subject. Thank you Pastor Moss for raising this question as I've been privately wondering about the same thing.

I agree with the writer's comments regarding Junkanoo Carnival. I agree that the government is right to re-evaluate how public funds are spent and should not use public funds for this event. As the writer has stated, there are moral issues at stake; what message are we sending to our young people by promoting public nudity? Junkanoo Carnival should be cancelled.

I also agree with the writer's comments. The government is right about re-evaluating how public funds are spent and funding for Junkanoo Carnival should be eliminated from the budget. There are, as the writer has stated, larger issues at stake which speak to the morals of Bahamians and what we are teaching our young people; these are equally important considerations for our country. The Bahamas that I grew up in certainly did not promote public nudity. Junkanoo Carnival should be cancelled.
