And please don’t forget that marijuana is a gateway drug to fentanyl use. The empirical evidence shows this sad connection. And some politicians want to legalize this poison. Please put two and two together.

Rather than taking a conciliatory approach to cooling the industrial relations climate in the country, Obie prefers to use the threatening approach. He must know that this approach is one where he is going to be cutting off his nose to spite his face. Can he , for a second, put himself in the role of running the country? If he did, he would begin to understand how many other financial obligations this government faces. Those who complain about getting their overtime pay ought to be ashamed of themselves when there are so many people unemployed. They have a job, a guaranteed job and their bread is already buttered. Now they want the bread to be buttered on both sides. Obie must think about a more constructive way to creating a Win-Win industrial relations climate.

There is nothing unusual about the lack of response from the public in this matter. It is an accepted fact which is documented in the literature of social psychology that people will refrain from getting involved in these incidents. It is called Bystander Apathy.

Until and unless we clear up the corruption in our country where the big ones get away with theft then will individuals who are motivated to intervene will no longer be of the view that that they will be risking their lives.

Only a National Campaign on inculcating and reinforcing in the minds of our citizens that we are indeed the keepers of our brothers and sisters can stop this recalcitrant attitude.

This photo of Brave is looking like something to come. It looks like he is arrested and handcuffed. And being led into the lockups where he will eventually end up. Who does he think will believe his lie that the Americans have not yet released the name of the politician involved in this case ? They have released the other names but not the big guy. Please. Really. Come on.

Wow. If this is not pandering to a special interest group then it is sheer fear of a group of deranged people who have a gun to the head of this Government. There is no where else in the world, from my research, where a Government has done this kind of unthought through nonsense which will redound to the disadvantage of its citizens. What is so special about the Rasta group? They abuse the term religion. Their convoluted thinking should not be placed in the same category of historically accepted religions. To continue to let these nuts have a say in our country’s moral values is to open the door for the rise of similar groups and other perverted practices masquerading as religious sacraments. It is time for this government to show some testicular fortitude.

Why this focus on denial. This drug is dangerous. Have you ever seen a frequent user, ostensibly for medical purposes, appear normal. He is invariably filthy in appearance, unkempt and on the margins of insanity? No sane person in full control of his/her mental faculties would go down this road to insanity? Please provide the name of one doctor who prescribes this poison to anyone in the Bahamas unless they have the same greed as Matthew Perry’s doctors? In prescribing Ketamine to this man, their comment was” how much is this MORON prepared to pay for this prescription .”

The use of the term medical marijuana is humorous. It is akin to using the term a considerate rapist. Nothing could be more destructive to one’s health like this dangerous drug called marijuana. The empirical evidence emerging from the scientific journals is that it is a gateway to cocaine, ketamine, and heroin. It is time to revoke the legalization of this poison before it is too late.

It is worse when you do that. We have 400,000 people and Qatar has 3 million. Do the math.

Empiricist says...

These figures represent the total number of murders in each country during the last 10 years.

Over 1,000 in the Bahamas compared to 225 in Kuwait compared to 9 in Qatar.
