Confusion? Gosh ... how did *that* happen?

Police officers in the Bahamas invariably are poorly trained and have an ingrained belief that their badge allows them to do whatever they want in their personal life as well as when they’re on duty. They seem to have a second ingrained belief: that they can shoot anybody, anywhere, any time, who simply annoys them.

... also, your claim that the Deepwater Horizon slick covered an area larger than the Bahamas — oceans included — is utterly absurd, a complete and total lie.

I agree that the Bahamas should not be messing with oil exploration. And I’ll yield to your adjustment to the population number. My jobs number is accurate as of 2019, tho.

But the Deepwater Horizon spill, wretched as it was, did not wipe out every job in coastal Louisiana. Pure fact. And we’re talking about an open-ocean area 80 miles west of Andros, not across the bay from Atlantis or downtown Nassau. There’s not much diving or hotel business 80 miles at sea off the west coast of Andros. (Maps are available free, online. Really. You should look at one.)

We’re always better off if we’re dealing with facts rather than frenzies.

I’m all for green tech when and where it make sense ... but you’re right about the massive fields of solar panels that would be needed, not to mention that salt spray cuts their efficiency dramatically.

Less worried about windmills killing birds, which is overstated, they’re having good luck in painting some of the windmill blades, which makes them more visible to the birds. And they actually are pretty reliable and are running offshore globally in a lot of salt-heavy environments.

But scare-mongering doesn’t do any of us any good ... “Boy who cried wolf,” etc.

Huh? Can any of these people do math? Including Mr. Neil Hartnell? A loss of 122,000 jobs in a nation of just 330,000 people, including the elderly and children? Uh ... huh? There are only 200K jobs in the entire economy.

Look, we’re all for a clean environment, but stupid scare-tactic stories just turn people off. Get real.

Did the reporter even consider asking the Social Services authorities or the family about this woman’s case? Or did that sound too much like work? Nuttin’ easier than a one-interview story, I guess.

Correct. The Canadian banks have been paring back their Out Islands operations for years.

Do they consider it cold and callous when W&S cuts off customers who haven’t paid their bill? ‘Cause they do it all the time!! Shoe on de other foot now, eh?

Good grief ... why didn’t you interview somebody whose business is in the affected area instead of people who weren’t affected?? I mean, really, what is wrong with you people? Are you REALLY that stupid?
