Yeah..... I can't argue that. You're right.

Ok.... I see where you're coming from. Logically, I guess you have a pretty valid argument. And I like your "weeds" illustration.

Plus with the DNA trifling the way that they are, I guess we have to choose between the lesser of two evils. (Sigh)

But the FNM won't solve any of our critical issues either. As a matter of fact, they're the reason that we're stuck with the PLP now!

Bahamians couldn't wait to vote out the FNM in 2012. Now all of a sudden we're assuming they're the answer???? This is the textbook definition of insanity. Why would you spit out a rotten apple, only to start chewing a rotten pear.... only to find out that you don't like the rotten pear either, so now you're back to eating the rotten apple??? Does this make sense to you??? No disrespect, Wideawake..... but you seem like a staunch FNM supporter. Only people who stand to benefit directly from either one of these parties support them as blindly as you do.

Why is this news?

This is the best post that I've seen all day. You are absolutely correct sir.

The seed that the Pindling regime sowed in the 70's and 80's, cultivated in the drug era, has now blossomed into what we see today!

You can't sow the seed of drug trafficking and expect to reap a successful nation. Illegal drugs have, and will always yield crime, rebellion, corruption and death. And this sums up the state of the Bahamas today.

@birdie. I honestly don't know why you're having such a difficult time processing the contents of catislandboy's posts!! Is it that you're truly a blind supported of the PLP??? Or is the chemical synapsis in your brain not physiologically functioning??? Everything that he has posted on this topic is as clear as river water. So what's the problem?

I'm assuming that you're taking a shot at catislandboy based upon the stereotype that Cat Island is known for witchcraft. But honestly, your post sounds more similar to voodoo than his.

Shut up birdie. Catislandboy is absolutely correct on his assessment of things. In case you haven't realized.... human beings are carnal creatures. This means that if their situation deteriorates to the point of going hungry or feeding their families, they will resort to the most primitive form of survival necessary to provide for their loved ones. It's not something they're proud of. But they do it to survive! Have you ever had to watch your children cry themselves to sleep for hunger??? If not, then be quiet!

I don't support drug dealing either..... but if I had to choose between selling dope or watching my children starve...... guess what..... I would be selling marijuana on the corner, too. And I'm a physician!

And although you don't want to acknowledge it.... the PLP is indeed a huge part of the problem! They have created NO opportunities for young Bahamians, while simultaneously increasing the cost and burden of living by initiating a bogus, unlawful tax system on them! You had better get real and stop talking shit on this website!!

@birdie. You're blaming the pastor for people not giving their hearts to God??? Seriously??? I wonder if you really pay attention to some of the things you post on this site.

Serving God is a choice that comes from the individual themself. No one can force someone to lead a godly lifestyle. Once again, you're just trying to adamantly defend your PLP party.

Yeah but the problem with HAI is that he seemed apathetic when it came to the immediate concerns of the people. He was dismissive, bullheaded and care-less about the things Bahamians deemed important.

The simple truth is that Bahamians suffered immensely under the FNM. In my opinion, Hubert Ingraham was on the opposite end of the spectrum of Perry Christie.

One leader is too hot..... the other is too cold!
