There are already laws on the book for men who assault their wives. To single out the act of sex is ridiculous. The wife's word against the husband's word. She said, he rape me. His defence, we had rough sex. How does the judge determine, who is truthful or not. The police can attest to the fact that hundreds of women on an annual basis even after an assault refuse to bring their significant other up on charges. The court system is clog, we don't need dumb laws that will further exasperate the situation.

The American UN ambassador did threaten governments that there will be repercussions for voting for the resolution that condemn the American for moving their embassy to Jerusalem. Our government abstain but apparently that was not good enough.

It was insane to outlaw a plant to begin with. Imagine banning apples because the sugar content
is too high.

Don't use the United States as an example they have there on Port problems with their ridiculous Jones Act and the Mafia control union port workers charging astronomical fees to offload a ship.

One of the reason why that particular aspect of the law is difficult to enforce is due to the fact that Immigration doesn't have the right to charge a Bahamian with anything even though they would be the entity to determine wither a person is employed illegally. Labeling the act of employing an illegal as criminal doesn't register in the Bahamian psyche because many of us would have done it one time or the other. The police would have to accompany the immigration officer during a raid and arrest the suspected employer. All the employer has to say is that he doesn't work for me.

Do the seem with BTC. If the previous government had any business acumen they would have sold the shares of BTC years before the introduction of competition. Those shares would have fetch a higher price.

As a business owner the concern is this. When I hire contractors, I don't ascertain whether the workers are legal or illegal. Who does the Department of Immigration charge. If a jail sentence is imminent do you think the contractor will rise his hands. In my company we sometimes have over 50 contract workers who don't work directly for me. Why should I be punish because the government has fail at doing its job.

In case you miss it, The Bahamas is regarded as a third world country. With regards to dismissing staff, the US hospitals will be happy to pick them up. The US medical facilities regularly have open houses with the intent of luring local medical personnel to move to the US. They offer them green cards and triple the salary they are making here.

On the street we would have said "the Bishop chicken out." All I know is that, I don't do a double take when a women is wearing a big dress. The women know why they dress in the manner that they do. Ask the prostitute and she would tell you the reason also.

For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. The Bahamas is been squeeze because it never saw the value in alliances.When things are going good the natural human tendency is to shun alliances. But alliances are like insurance policies, you will one day need them.
