Based on my understanding the smuggling of marijuana across borders has declined deeply since the 20+ States in the US legalized recreational use. The biggest issue now is the smuggling of drugs like Methamphetamine, Cocaine, Fentanyl, MDMA & Heroin. These are the drugs the US & Bahamas should be focused on.

Also, your 'medical studies' are old news and have been the center of debate for many years without any definitive proof except for high risk individuals who have already been diagnosed with Schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. The gateway drug argument has been going on for as long as I've been alive - which sadly for me, is a very long time.

My guess would be that those 'missing' 188 students couldn't even achieve a 'D' grade

Um, that is not the burned out car, it's probably her own vehicle

*It is also difficult to believe that only 653 of the 5,935 BGCSE candidates received a passing grade of C or higher in at least five subjects.*

I wouldn't put it so kindly. I would state 90% of candidates failed to achieve a grade of C or higher in at least 5 subjects. I think that gives a much better perspective as to the state of education in this country.

Sorry PM, birdie & John, but solutions are meant to prevent something from happening. Getting divorced because of marital rape doesn't prevent the rape from happening in the first place.

*"We have evolved into a major regional and world-wide leading nation"
".....and abundant resources, yet to be unleashed"*

Can someone please explain in what context are we a "world-wide leading nation",and what are the "abundant resources" that he's referring to that have yet to be unleasehed ? I am honestly stumped to come up with anything !

The writer obviously lives in a bubble. Inflation is a global economic phenomenom. One country alone does not cause the rate of inflation to change, and typically all countries suffer/benefit together when inflation rates increase or decrease. There are many factors that effect inflation including chip supply shortages (Asia, specifically China), Gas & Oil (Russia & Middle East) etc. etc.

Kevin, please educate yourself on inflation.I can recommend several good books on inflation, all of them authored well before the current fad of airing personal opinion in place of news. Unfortunately relying on main stream media such as CNN or Fox News, or any of the politically biased websites will not educate you.

Not a pro on DNA, but using the DNA of a male family member/relative of the mother would not match the DNA of the child. The child would have a unique DNA combination of the biological mother and father, which would not match if a male relative's DNA was tested.
