Your emphatic "none" written above states otherwise. You knew the truth but to boost your argument your provided some intellectual fallacy to support your lie. Even when caught, you gave voice to the description, "the truth is not in him."Nevertheless, you still miss my point.In other words,don't expect the same level of judicial prudence from a 43 year democracy when compared to a 240 year old democracy.

Wrong SP. There was one conviction and jailed Bahamian politician. If we were to use the link you prescribed it shows 1 US politician conviction in the first 20 years of the US becoming a nation with a population of 4 million at the time. The Bahamas showed 1 conviction with a population of 200,000 in the first 20 years of it becoming a nation. Do the math.

Hubert Ingraham was notorious for hacking the English language but still was label a good leader.

I am not going to bat for Mr. Wilson or the PLP but you'll miss the whole point. What he is saying is "take the log out of your eyes and then you will be able to see more clearly to take the speck out of someone else's eye".On human rights, no other country have a prison full of alleged terrorists who have not seen a judge to determine innocence or guilt. We have an extradition law that works in one direction. Numerous Bahamians have been extradited to the USA but not one US citizen extradited to the Bahamas. We were pressured to do away with our bank secrecy laws when the same laws exist in the US. On corruption, a former speaker of the House was charge with violating Federal Banking Laws paying hush money to a young man whom he molested. Yes he is on his way to jail but you'll need to remember that a 200 plus year old democracy is more mature than a 43 year old democracy.

As a businessman I to experience this folly, the only difference is I made my payment on time and it was a mistake by Inland Revenue. The penalty is absurd. The problem occurs when you have bureaucrats who don't have the slightest idea on how to ran a business making critical decision that impacts on businesses. First they force me to collect their taxes then punish me for not doing it on time.

I have reserve judgement on Dr. Minnis because all I know about him is what the media has painted him to be. I refuse to allow someone else opinion to become my opinion without my own careful analysis. What I do now about him is that he is not a slick talking politician which is a plus in my book. From paper boy to doctor is quite a story.I will continue to place him in the balance and my analysis will determine in my own mind if he is wanting, not the media with several conflicting agendas.

If you understand anything about patent is that they eventually expire.Once they expire anyone with the means can produce the patented drug. Aspirin once ago also had a patent. Patents are enforceable in the Bahamas so if there is a valid claim take it up with the courts.

The Bahamas ia not ready for a woman Prime Minister. We are not even ready to give women equal rights.Women themselves are voting against themselves when it comes to equal rights and you believe we will vote for a woman PM.

DEDDIE says...

Lets suppose Minnis resigns. LBT is not a good option. We can't get equal rights for women in this country and you'll think the average Bahamian will vote for a woman to become Prime Minister. What is so ridiculous, you have women voting against themselves not to obtain equal rights.
