It is funny she is not saying, “Boycott the Dominican Republic! Boycott the Dominican Republic to end discrimination against Haitian people!” Lady, if you feel that strongly about your people, get your lazy ass up and put your talks into action, make Haiti a better place so there be no discrimination against your people, perceived or real!. I certainly hope that Bahamian officials are taking note. Cause in the likely event that one of these roaches gets in the Bahamas Parliament in the future, we are finished!

Dr. Myles Munroe's contribution to the Bahamas is immeasurable. No one can deny that he has left an indelible mark on this country, as a great leader,motivational speaker and author. However, even though the Bahamas is supposed to be built on religion, not every Bahamian is religious. This country has many religions that do not even recognize the teachings or beliefs of Dr. Munroe. So when you bring a public holiday into the equation, you are forcing every Bahamian to acknowledge his teachings or beliefs .

On the other hand, you have great contributors such as the late Sir Étienne Dupuch, who introduced the first comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation in the colony's history into the House of Assembly,which outlawed the practice of racial discrimination in hotels, restaurants and other public places. How many Bahamians recognize him today? There are countless other Bahamian civic leaders who have fought for the rights of every Bahamian, regardless of their skin colour, belief or social status,who have never been recognized, much less had a holiday named after them. Dr. Munroe might have been a great man, but his teachings were never free or accessible to the average poor man. So let us move religion out of the equation and then consider what could be done to honour Dr. Munroe

I agree totally with this statement. But you are making it seems as if this tragedy is some form of punishment for Mr. Munroe's perceived lavish lifestyle which we all agree is contrary to the life Jesus spoke about and led. I for one do not believe in religion or even follow the preaching or the teachings of man when it comes to the bible. But clearly this event has nothing to do with the way Munroe led his life. Surely if we are judging this man, then we ourselves are guilty of Jesus' teaching.

Excellent letter. Straight to the point!

It was an oversight, but I still stand by the latter part of my comments.

@AwayInSchool: The DNA is asserting that amendments to Article 7 of the Constitution should be made and the people of the Bahamas should decide the criterion for what is needed in order to apply for citizenship. Yet the policies on their website is contrary to what the leader is saying in this article. http://www.mydnaparty.org/immigration-p… According to the section on the National Immigration Plan, the following is stated*:"The DNA's position as it relates to children born to an illegal immigrant is that a child, upon reaching the age of 18 years and before his/her 19th birthday is entitled to apply for Bahamian citizenship."*

Mr.McCartney's intentions seem dubious when he calls these press releases just to disagree about something. This is old school. We are tired of that approach. Offer us a clear and concise master plan that Bahamians can at least look forward to . I am hoping that the DNA will come with something solid to move this country out of the muck and the mire, cause I believe the majority of Bahamians are tired of the other two demon parties.
