When Our Constitution was written it was inconceivable that MP's would behave the way they do today.

It would appear that they need a set of rules that is thousands of pages long.

Sad, when they were elected to run the Country for the benefit of ALL Bahamians.

They should be the first to uphold the law.

**We must not forget that the Constitution is the supreme document not the MP's.**

That means that the Court, which is charged with the interpretation of the law, can send an Order to the members of the House to follow the law.

STB is a thorn in the governments side.

STB has held the governments feet to the fire over a series of environmental issues.

Some of the members are also part of the RUBIS fight where Min. Fitzgerald got caught with his pants down by his ankles for keeping a report, that affected the health and safety of his constituents, secret for 2 years.

One has to ask if he had something to gain for not taking care of his constituents.

So he has an ax to grind with anyone connected to the Rubis matter.

If Dame Sawyer is correct, it means that, since 1973, ALL children born outside The Bahamas to a Bahamian woman, married to a foreign man, should be given their citizenship right away.

It also means that ALL foreign husbands of Bahamian women should be given their citizenship right away, just as the foreign women of Bahamian men got theirs.

I would like to hear what the "No" voter have to say about that.

What I find interesting is that he has a good point but has been unable to convey the message in a way that excites anyone.

He just does not have what it takes to be a leader.

Very sad.

We should make it law that any MP who has failed to disclose by March, in any year that he is an MP, may not run again in the next election.

Get rid of Renew and hire a real landfill operator.

Now, this will probably mean that there will be no greased wheels as a real landfill operator will be related to people whose business practices do not permit such a thing.

Mr. Rolle, perhaps it is a case of Loretta Butler-Turner being able to convey the message more effectively.

RealityCheck, I take it you believe in Christian values. Take number One for example.

**You are saying that you reward the Bahamian woman who has children out of wedlock, but punish her is she marries and has her children legitimately.**

You say if you fornicate or commit adultery we will reward you. But you say, **"How dare you get married and have children in wedlock, I must punish you"**.

At the moment, if a Bahamian woman **has the child out of wedlock the child gets automatic citizenship.**

If a Bahamian woman **has a child in wedlock you punish her by refusing her children automatic citizenship**

And we call ourselves a Christian nation.
