I thought we had a law requiring the proper demarcation of a designated swimming zone by beachfront hotels and villas in which motor and/or wind operated sea craft of any kind are not allowed to venture.

If such a law does indeed exist (as it should), and was applicable in the circumstances of this tragic incident but nevertheless not complied with by the resort operator and/or boat operator, then the family of the deceased should be pressing for criminal charges to be filed by our law enforcement authorities against those responsible for this tragic death while at the same time arranging for appropriate civil actions to be filed.

Absolutely!

The excise taxes recovered here are chump change compared to the mega millions of dollars in excise taxes evaded by tax dodging abusers of the Special Economic Recovery Zone (SERZ) Order. And many of the abusive schemes will continue to be exploited by tax dodgers for as long as the SERZ Order remains in place.

Amen.

Funds originally intended to be budgeted for the resurfacing of the runway at New Bight airport were re-directed by corrupt stumpy Davis towards the lavish "re-purposing" of the plane he had his government recently seize and confiscate for use mainly by himself and his cronies when travelling about the Family Islands.

True to form, corrupt Davis has once again ignored the urgent needs of his own constituents. Hopefully the good people of Cat Island, who deserve so much better from their elected representative, will have enough sense not to vote for corrupt Davis in the next general election.

Start with the country must be safe.

Point taken ........ not that it will matter much.

Most of the comments I post to this website concern known corrupt, unsavory, and immature government officials and their favoured despicable cronies/partners in the private sector, many of whom fully deserve to be dressed down from their preferred lofty titles like "The Right Honourable", "His Excellency", and so on.

If you find the name-calling highly offensive, then I would suggest you stop reading my comments. I don't read most of @Tal's comments only because they are usually unenlightening gibberish, but I do recognise everyone is entitled to their own writing style and form of communication absent abusive profanity.

Those fortunate enough to have done a fair amount travelling know only too well that there are many nations around the world much less tolerant than ours, e.g. Communist China, many of the Arab nations, and so on. Count your blessings.

Coming on the heals of the disappearance of Taylor Casey, this tragic incident resulting in the death of Allison Dyck, a US state Department official, is going to bring an awful lot of heat our way, and I don't mean of the summer weather kind.

Stumpy Davis is counting his lucky stars that executives at CNN and MSNBC are pre-occupied with all of their hyping of the presidential debate that will air tonight at 9:00 pm on CNN and CSPAN.
