Some people are off their head...was it yesterday's paper, or a couple days ago, the police were commenting that area ranks and 8 out of 10 on the BAD side for drugs and guns...let's pick one of our worst hot spots and lob some tourists into the mix. Idiots.
Hey...I am all for farming, I think it is crazy the amount of produce we import into this country...also the fact that you are more likely to get a Hatian out in that field all day long instead of a Bahamian, because of this very stigma you brought up. From the early Pindling days, the Bahamian mind has been brainwashed into thinking you were 'better' than being stuck on a farm, you could do more with yourself than farming, that farming is akin to slavery under the white man, to this day, Bahamians will 'typically' shy away from the hard labour...and love...of a farm, it is a slow arduous process with a lot of back breaking work, that a lot of Bahamians just don't have the spine for, they would rather sit in their cushy government civil servant job protected by an insane union.
While my original statement was meant more of a 'joke' of sorts, it's actually a very sad reality...there is likely some very big money in marijuana farming, and from what I understand, the plants are quick to grow and easy to farm. Sure beats the heck out of picking cotton or pineapples!! I would totally love to see the Bahamas as a serious farming nation...of general crops, not just the whacky kind. Sadly won't see it in my generation...or my children's generation if we are still on this planet.
I thought I saw some fresh smoke rising from that general area shortly after lunch yesterday...foolishly said to myself, nah...that's not the dump, that must be some sort of building on fire or something...not the dump AGAIN... Silly fool...
You see...they were going to legalize the webshops no matter what, that was a given...the referendum was a scam...and now that they've gone ahead and said it, they would rather whack the hard working joe over the head with VAT, before they legalize and tax and take money from webshops. Let's go ahead and give the numbers guys a little bit more grace period to scam and rape and rob from our citizens before the government joins the ranks and partners up with them. This whole web shop, numbers houses, money laundering debacle is just despicable and makes my skin crawl.
