Wow , what a ball of confusion with this health care system imbroglio. Seems that the Nurses union forgetting the Cuban export health care slavery system with the Cuban nurses in the Bahamas. The Union needs to take a thorough review of the Health Care Human Resource Management system in the country. Don’t just look at nurses from Ghana and leave the Cuban nurses out of the discussion. Just wait until the nurses from the Philippines and India come. Then the Bahamas will be a stepping stone for them to move to the USA.

That’s only a third of the problem. The other two thirds is the chains the Government of the Bahamas and the Government of Cuba hold over the heads, hands and feet of the enslaved professionals working in the Bahamas and around the world. Please tell us why these professionals are unable to seek political asylum in the Bahamas and the other countries where they are exploited? In a free and democratic society they should be free to say that’s enough of this exploitation and seek asylum. However, the chains that Cuban government have around them and which the Bahamian government are knowing partners makes it difficult for these professionals to free themselves from the shackles of slavery. Just by permitting these exploited professionals to seek and gain political and economic asylum, the Bahamian government will be demonstrating that they do not just give lip service to a range of International Labor Conventions and start to whittle away a major source of foreign exchange the Communist Government of Cuba is dependent on. If we start it here it will spread to the democracies around the world where the other Cuban professionals are entrapped.

And Government of the USA can help in a major way by granting asylum to and facilitating the employment of these workers in America.

Three questions:

1. Is the Bahamas subsidizing the communist state of Cuba?

2. Is the communist Cuban State talking out of both sides of its mouth? On one hand it purports to be for uniting the workers of the world but yet it is engaging in exploiting its workers?

3. Is the comparable worth of the Cuban health care workers relative to Bahamian health care workers different? And if so, how come and why when the education and training of a nurse in the Bahamas-is equivalent to the training of a nurse in Cuba?

Once these questions are answered honestly, professionally and empirically, the answers must serve as the context for all future negotiations between the trade unions representing health care workers in the Bahamas. Workers in the Bahamas unite.

Clearly , and to his credit, the Honorable Prime Minister himself was not involved in this case or properly briefed about what went on. . What he should have said is that this was a “reverse sting” where our guys knew they were being set up and they only played along to see how this sordid game was going to play out. We Bahamians need to have more trust in our people.

Just what about “You are not wanted and respected” does this man does not understand or want to understand? It is precisely this failure to accept this fact that caused the FNM to lose the last election. He should do us a favor an quietly leave the political scene. Please. Thank you.

Then how about redesigning the jet ski to where the equivalent of double passengers model is introduced and the current “single seater” is banned. And, most importantly, only when two passengers are on board can the jet ski take off and function properly. That way the rapist would be disinclined to rape or molest two individuals at the same time on the same trip.

Which of the three political parties will put the introduction of a coordinated school bus system on their manifesto for the upcoming elections? If properly planned and operated this will have a number of winners.

Why not diversify the job duties of the police to include a unit dedicated to jet ski area patrolling and require jet ski operators to wear cameras as part of the licensing process.

It is very unfortunate that it has taken so long for the FNM to recognize that this person will always be an albatross around the neck, heart and integrity of the party. It is time for him to withdraw into his world of make believe. Just imagine he has been telling people that he is the Mandela of the Bahamas?

And when you add marijuana the effects are even worse.
