Get rid of the Privy Council is the first step needed to claim sovereignty. Oh, I am sorry, we can't make a claim something we never had.

If your parents was born before 1960, it is quite difficult to locate a birth certificate especially if they were born in the out islands(loss records abound). The authorities then demand you produce affidavits from two persons who know your parents. As the years go by especially with dead parents it becomes "mission impossible".

I can understand why Bahamar would choose to file in the US and not the Bahamas. Our laws have not sufficiently evolve to deal with complicated bankruptcy cases. At present if a company declares bankruptcy in The Bahamas our laws requires a receiver to be appointed who would then move to satisfy respective creditors. This process then get stall for years because of in-adequate legal structures (Gulf Union Bank, Clico etc). The Government decided to side with the Chinese because like the old cliche states "who has the money makes the rules."

Proof of Bahamian citizenship is actually a passport. If you don't have a passport then you need your birth certificate and also your parents birth certificate. If your mother is single then all you need is her birth certificate but if she is married then you need the fathers(if he is a foreigner then it gets a bit more complicated).A large number of Bahamian(60 %) will have some problem proofing that they are in fact Bahamian.

I just had a meeting today with a fairly wealthy businessman and he laments the fact that he ever consider doing business here. He said that the red tape and immigration policy is maddening.Cuba came up in our conversation and he said that once the embargo is lifted the Bahamas will experience a serious drop off in investments. He indicated there are only a limited amount of investment dollars to go around and the bulk of it will head towards Cuba.

Cabinet meeting minutes "what we ga do with all this VAT money"?

Maybe the Supreme Court can get Mother Nature to abide by its ruling. If the CDC(Center for disease Control) would stop been politically correct it would be running ads about the dangers of the homosexual lifestyle. On the US government AIDS website it says that,although men who have sex with men make up 4% of the male population they account for 78% of the new HIV cases.

Fred is probably one of the better political tactician in the PLP. He is a student of politics. When he was giving a choice of Ministries he chose Foreign affairs and Immigration because he knew the passion that Immigration ignites in the average Bahamian and the opportunity to endear himself to the populace. The other aspiring PMs (Brave, Fritzgerald ) choose the Ministries that have the potential to influence the delegates through the awarding of contracts. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Fred Mitchell Immigration tour throughout the Family islands was not a co-incidence. Him speaking to the PM every morning as indicated is also calculated(He knows he is smarter than Christie but have to pucker up his lips and do what he has to do). Christie is the key, whoever Christie anoints will lead the party into the next election although I think he will anoint himself.

If Lucifer has it his way, he prefers pastors don't speak at all.

I don't see what the big deal is. He could use the same plane tickets and go to Atlantis. The room rates at Bahamar are the same as Atlantis. I recommend the Corner Hotel for a true indigenous Bahamian wedding.
