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.

Economist says...

Much of the expense of doing business relates to the lethargic pace of government departments and agencies.

We need to have time frames put into the legislation the requires a response to an application within a set number of days.

Economist says...

So who will run it?

Economist says...

The point is that he voted for the Bills. At least he can state why he voted for them.

If he did not believe that they should pass he should not have voted for them and tell us why he voted against them.

The man is so wishy washy.

Economist says...

The last FNM government may have spent money, but at least it was for infrastructure (roads) that has a lasting tangible economic effect.

Economist says...

The "No" vote will encourage educated Bahamians who are living abroad to stay away from The Bahamas. They are enlightened and won't return to a Bahamas with archaic standards.

So what you are saying is that you want to keep the country for the poorly educated.
