Sadly, after all the work done by Woodes Rogers, the spirit of piracy remains in the Bahamas. Black Beard's ghost never left us. It is clearly seen in the way the current government operates.
Fritzgerald and the PLP government truly do not grasp the reality that the Bahamian people are a lot less naive and far more educated than the government thinks they are. According to Leslie Miller we are all supposed to be stupid black Bahamians. Sadly or fortunately, he is wrong.
Khrisna Virgil really needs to improve her writing style as it always appears to paint the wrong image of the story - to sensationalize it. In the Abaco hunting accident story she stressed that the deceased received multiple gunshots and went on to list all the places that he was shot. THis is indeed true but gives the impression that the shooter fired multiple times. Whereas, all she had to say was that the man was a shot was a buckshot and therefore the many pellets hit in multiple locations. This would instantaneously give readers a clear picture of what happened.
Now in this story she is saying that the occupants of the car all received "substantial injuries". But goes on later to say that some were making their way to Nassau and some were treated and discharged. I'm sorry but this does not bode for "Substantial" injuries. Substantial injury gives the impression of emergency flights into Nassau and people being in critical condition.
Please improve your writing Ms. Virgil. I'm no journalist and no professional writer but I can say that your articles are not well written.
You really have to be at the level of complete dumbness to think you can get away with teefing $1.3 million and no one will notice. Love of money is truly root of all evil.
The best way to motivate a social worker is to stop making them the lowest paid people on the government payroll. It is pathetic the salaries received by social workers when most of them have Bachelors degrees. Most government office secretaries earn more than them and many of these secretaries only have high school diploma, chew gum and gossip on the phone all day.
Christie say if they want to get their pipes jammed on Rawson Square, that's true democracy. It is so interesting that the Chief Justice and PM made statements on gay marriage the same time when this book was being released. call the plumber!!
I long for the day when Mr. Christie and the rest of the PLP fellas will stop having Bahamian people for fools. More so, I pray for the day when Bahamian people stand up and stop accepting the foolishness of Mr. Christie and the rest of the PLP fellas.
A couple things on this: 1. It is clear that Mr. Christie is no longer fit to lead this country.
2. It is clear that the PLP government does not have the Bahamian people at heart.
3. Political payouts and favors are deeply rooted in this PLP government, so nothing can stop them from going ahead with this project and giving out this contract to some crony.
4. Mr. Christie, the only embarrassing thing right now is not whether or not the Prime Minister should have a multi-million dollar house just for entertaining, but rather you are the embarrassment, Sir.
It looks like the only thing that Mr. Fritzgerald is aware of is how to throw out gun charges against specific individuals when he serves as acting Attorney General for a day.
