I have concluded that the problem in our country are lawyers and by extension politicians. If they can't fix the justice system which they are suppose to be experts at, how in the world we expect them to fix anything else. It could be compared to a lousy plumber trying to give instructions to an electrician. Get rid of the lawyers and you fix half of whats wrong in this country. If this country become law abiding the lawyers stand to lose the most.

I thought the power company was pretty much gracious for leaving the power on from September. They turn it off after the children were home. The government should be applauding the company for the patience not chastising them.

Sheeprunner.So you actually believe the average Bahamian psyche are affected by those particular events and not the plantation separation protocol for negroes to be suspicious of everything black including themselves. You can hear our dis-taste for blackness in the way we speak. "Your black self, your nappy head, he so black, all you could see is teeth".With regards to your 1796 excerpt, the Haitian revolution occurred between 1791-1804, so any coup would have been fermented by the local population who were attempted to imitate what was happening in Haiti. By the way, the negro population in the Bahamas celebrated their Haitian brothers during that period.

Sheeprunner, As a student of history I don't look at things in a myopic fashion. Several days ago I explain to my daughter and son who they descended from. They are descendants from the Seminole Indians who migrated from Florida to Red Bay Andros during the 16th century. I explain to them that they are also descendants from the Rolle slaves in Exuma but I also let them know that they have relatives throughout the Caribbean including Haiti. Although these relatives may be several generations remove I told them don't forget it. Not because your great, great great great... uncle's children live in a poorer state than you, that it gives you the right to despise them.Don't get me wrong I am not advocating an open door policy to Haiti, but advocating sensitivity to their plight.

Interesting fact from the US Census bureau and the World Bank indicate that approximately 60,000 Bahamians live in the US. I know at least 140 personally. Migration will always be with us. Humans are very poor at adapting, so they simply move to greener pastures. Abraham was an economic refugee in Egypt and Jesus was a political refugee in Egypt.

Do you ever wonder how genocide occurs. This Germans felt the same way about the Jews. The Hutus felt the same way about the Tutsis. All Cobalt and SP need now is a leader who share their sentiments and is prepared to carry out a final solution. They would probably wear the tag "gas chamber chief" proudly.

I always tend to find the negro way of thinking to be so self destructive. Even the educated negro is lost in his own logic. Your masters did a remarkable job on your psyche.The average Caribbean black don't know who they are. You were thought to hate yourself and it is evident in these postings. Today's Haitians, Jamaicans, Bahamian,in fact, the majority of blacks in the new world shared the same African slave forts and ship holes but the venom in your writings doesn't display this. The plantation division is obvious and I am hoping to one day use this postings to educate my class of the negro mind set. Western blacks are still going through the middle passage. You all are still laying in your own filth but too dumb to recognize it. Until the middle passage end for all Negroes, it end for none.Slavery is alive and well. The overseers would be proud of their handy-work(your mind)200 years later. You hate yourself and the Haitian reminds you who you truly are. They still practice the customs of your forefathers and you hate them for it. Enough said.

The death threat part is a bit strange. Death threats are usually given to deter or encourage a specific action. When the person been threaten don't behave accordingly, then the threat is carried out. The police need to concentrate their efforts on what the person initiating the threat was trying to deter or encourage.

Its about time the licensee's take action. All three of the new taxes will not be able to stand-up to legal scrutiny. The environmental fee is not needed in Freeport because the government is not responsible for the environment of Freeport. The Port Authority is the designated agency for the environment of Freeport. In fact, the annual service charges paid by property owners in Freeport is a levy for the environment.

Actually you are wrong ForegoneConclusion. Quite the contrary, two of the major contributors of the Bible were highly educated. Moses would have being educated by the best Egypt had to offer. Paul was educated at a Pharisitical School.These school were equivalent to the best law school of today. Also you should learn to read the Bible in context. The four corners of the world does not mean what you are indicating. The statement shows "to what extent", its no different if I say, "I will slap your head off" or do you believe that your head will actually come off. With regards to homosexuals, I will not present a religious argument but a sanitary one. There is good reason why we wash our hands after using the bathroom.If you caught your child playing in his excrement I am quite sure you will teach him different. Even the homosexual if he is honest, would admit that nature design that particular body part to go into a particular place. Notice both arguments were common sense ones.
