Yeh, you are so right.

Was he wearing his seat belt? Did the tires have good amount of tread?

Economist says...

Why does Dr. Minnis hang on like this. He must understand that the majority of the FNM voters will not vote for a party where he is the leader.

Maybe Dr. Minnis is there to make sure the PLP win again.

If at the next election the PLP win it will be because those old fashioned, out of touch and has beens council members from Grand Bahama like C.A. Smith, Maurice Moore and David Thompson put the PLP back in by keeping Minnis.

She talks of speed as the killer, I disagree.

One of the safest roads in the world is the German Autobahn. The average speed is about 125 mph, yes 125 not 25. So how can such a road have so few fatalities per mile?

1. People have to/must/compulsory take real driving lessons from professional driving instructors.
2. People have to pass a comprehensive written drivers test and a comprehensive road test.
3.The cars have real inspections that include tire treads, brakes (not just the hand break) it consist of a battery of checks.
4.The Police give tickets for bald tires, for driving slowly in the passing (outside) lane and also for not pulling over for a faster car coming up from behind, if the wipers are not working and if you fail to indicate when turning and so on.

***Note: Bill Three needs closer attention. Let me give you an hypothesis: A young Bahamian male is in a foreign land and he comes upon hard times. He is able to make some money by being a sperm donor, depending on how much he “donates”, there could be enough little soldiers to populate one of our Islands.***

He can do this right now under the Constitution. And She can have as many children, **out of wedlock,** and they too are automatically Bahamian. But if she were married the children would NOT be Bahamian

I did not realize that you consider the Maynards and people like Ed Fields, and many others who are first generation Bahamians, to be foreigners. Not to mention that Sir Lyndon was a Bahamian by the skin of his teeth.

You must, if you agree with the letter, agree that the above named are foreign who you want to kick out of the Country

It depends who is in control of the religious groups. History shows that that the church goes through passes.

The terrible Dark Ages and the murderous Inquisitions were all brought by religious leaders. These men could care less about God and everything about their own power.

Some Popes are for change others hold everything back.

The Islamic State is also like this. They interpret the Koran to suit themselves.

Many of our clergy are no different. Enlightenment frightens them.

Where are your fact and figures? Lot's of hot air and no substance. Back up your numbers with statistical data.

You won't because the data will show that you are incorrect.

Also it is interesting to see that you encourage women to have children out of wedlock rather than in wedlock. What kind of Christianity do you preach? See reason for Bill 1.

Sound very bigoted. You sound like one of Trumps bigoted Rednecks in the US. But wait ,they think all black people should still be at the back of the bus.

Does not say much for your so called Christian outlook.

***to “save women” from themselves and to “stop foreign men from having the same rights as Bahamian men”.***

So you are saying you don't need to save Bahamian men from themselves ( their are as many foreign wives, as there are foreign husbands)

You are also saying that it is ok for foreign women to have the same rights as Bahamian women rights. Which is the way you want to leave things as that is our Constitution now.

Bahamian men don't need any protection.

Why do you want to discriminate against Bahamian women because that is what you are saying and doing.
