There is no question in my mind that Ragged Island must be rebuilt! Its proximity to Cuba will be priceless in the future, as Cuba rises to prominence. What is more, that which you do not use, you lose. If we abandon this island, Cuba and other nationalities will invade and annex Ragged Island. Ragged island is a key demarcation of our soveriegn territory. Further, if World War 3 breaks out, it will be a good location to escape the global fallout and catch non-radioactive fish.

Let's take this time to realize that Ragged Island is symbolic for the entire Bahamas. Its hurricane wrecked status is a metaphor for New Providence's faded glory. Bay Street, once teaming with high roller tourists puffing cigars and buying Rolexes has been replaced by corpse-like cruise visitors that sneer at $2 straw hats. Let's take this time to remember that Ragged Island is We. Once the envy of the world financial centers, with thousands of IBCs incorporated each month, now a ghost town of FACTA and OECD. We are Ragged Island my fellow Bahamians. Our crime and murders are ragged. Our BGCSE D average is ragged. Our corrupted politicians are ragged. Our 7 billion dollar debt is ragged. And, most importantly, our pride and love for one another is completely ragged. Irma, blow over this ragged chain of islands, blow. For not a structure remains standing and looters roam the streets.

It is time to free Free Port!!! Remove all restrictions to US, Canadian and UK persons and companies moving there for comercial purposes. No work permits required. No duty. No BIA approvals. The Government would still make a killing from stamp tax, VAT and company incorporation fees. If this is done, Free Port real estate would pop overnight. In ten years, it could become another NYC with skyscrapers etc. Nassau residents would flock there due to its booming economy and Nassau would become less over populated. The US government would start investing in The Bahamas again. Only sector reserved strictly for Bahamians should be the commercial fishing sector. We would still have the rest of The Bahamas all to ourselves. We have no choice. We are bankrupt! Time to be innovative. Time to put The Bahamas on the map again. It is time to free Free Port or die a slow death of financial stagnation and ruin.

Just to be clear BahamasForBahamians, I am not Larry Smith. These posts are completely seperate from his operation.

I disagree BahamasForBahamians. All the darkness needs to be brought to light for the people to see. All of us here, me especially, spent the last five years crying and shaking in rage about the criminal deeds the PLP were engaged in. This is sweet justice for us. Everything must be brought to light!!! It is especially relevant because we are gradually getting a full picture of just how deep the corruption penetrated. So many persons were complicit with the PLP in stealing the people's money.

When writing an article like this, please put the name of the sport in the title. I have no idea what sport was being played.

If this is what it takes to weed out corruption in The Bahamas, so be it. I, as a tax payer, will gladly pay. It ain't easy to do the right thing. That's why nobody else has attempted it. Minnis is the man for sticking by his convictions!!

Repeatedly bailing out BOB will sink the entire Bahamas. Watch and see. Bailing it out is throwing money down the drain.

What an aweful little man. Fred makes Trump seem easy going. This guy has a massive chip on his shoulder and should be nowhere near Bahamian politics.
