Mr. Gibson has produced a well written and provocative article in which can indeed be described as 100% accurate, at least in terms of his assessment of the internal politics and psychological thinking that appears to prevail within the ranks and Council of the FNM.

But whether the isolation of Mr. Hubert Ingraham is a the result of a deliberate effort to minimize his importance, that is questionable given that Mr. Ingraham, as a permanent member of the Executive Council, can make his presence felt at will. The distancing of himself may very well be of his own choosing.

As to the present Leader of the FNM, Dr. Minnis inability to appreciate his precarious state continues to amaze me. He is experiencing what I view as a leadership complex which disables one to appreciate sound advice coming from his own and at such crucial time.

During the Spanish Peninsular War, Napoleon was said to be mentally in denial and not wanting to face his own miscalculations in that war. To assuage his feelings, he left the war front to wed his Austrian bride Princess Mary-Louise. Napoleon felt that he needed another victory so that his posterity of a great general could never be toppled. To finally offset what was an inevitable defeat in the Peninsular War, Napoleon started a war with his most important ally, Russia. Rather than draw back and accept that 'he who wants all, usually ends up getting none', he started the beginning of the end for himself and for France.

I applaud the consistency and interests of Mr. Brent Symonette who, in my view, is popularly stable and is possessed of sufficient business acumen, as well as, he has the general support with the business class and throughout, he is seen as capable to run the government of the Country. This is the case despite Mr. Ingrahams' disparaging remarks about him.

Mr. Symonette has already stated that, if needed and called upon, he would step up to answer the call to serve his Country. And as so accurately is the case for so many of us, Mr. Symonette declared that he is possessed of one nationality and passport: The Bahamas. His future and that of his family is intricately tied to that of The Bahamas. This, in my view, is the first and most basic incentive for good governance.

EUREKA...

That is all you and others could do: WATCH. Cuba has its act together. It won't be going after money.... money is gonna be coming after Cuba. Cuban government has won the high moral high grounds.

birdie, you are an amazing creature.

I await to see if Dr Kendal Major is going to signal his approval in this aspect of the diabolical. In which case, There will be a Parliamentary seat up for grabs in Garden Hills.

this is a very serious but justified reason for public outcry:

For government ministers to have personal "Political Trash Bins" is a very frightening prospect to consider. And to say openly that nothing is secret any longer in The Bahamas; he may be right, however, please explain when and how this has come to be.

This is very very serious!!!

To add, the government as well as the Official Opposition all seem to have left off from doing the peoples' business and are now being cleverly but subtly lead and driven by two foreigners.

Imagine what our future looks like.... He is now our Minister Of Education..

the dispensable bahamians... is there such a creature?

No... he was not a teacher at Queens College; and no... he was not Branville McCartneys' brother. Nor was he was Richard Demerit's son. He was not related to the prominent businessman from Grand Bahamas Arne Petersen either. He was not the brother of Fayne Thompson... No, not none of these. Sorry... he was no family to former Cabinet Minister Charles 'Chuck' Virgil. He was absolutely not the son of Leslie Miller, M.P.

His death leaves behind a wife and two small children to care for.

Who was he? Was he simply a dispensable Bahamian? Is there such a creature called 'a dispensable Bahamian'? We are more likely to get a national answer when one of theirs is killed again.

With whomever his family ties may be, apparently, he was a dispensable Bahamian.
The outcry as a result of this tragedy can hardly be called deafening. Our senses are getting duller as the tragedies unfold.

Bahamians, is this the pride and joy intended from Majority Rule?... Is this what is meant by 'Upward', 'Onward' and 'Together'?

A young businessman of Kemp Road was murdered just as he went to open his shop in the early hours of morning. His death leaves behind a wife and two small children to care for.

No... he was not a teacher at Queens College; and no... he was not Branville McCartneys' brother. Nor was he was Richard Demerit's son. He was not related to the prominent businessman from Grand Bahamas Arne Petersen either. He was not the brother of Fayne Thompson... No, not at all. Sorry... he was no family to Charles 'Chuck' Virgil.

Who was he? Was he simply a dispensable Bahamian? Is there such a creature called 'a dispensable Bahamian'? We will get a national answer when one of theirs is killed again.

Wherever his family ties are, apparently, he was a dispensable Bahamian.

The outcry as a result of this tragedy can hardly be called deafening. Lord, our senses is getting more numb as the tragedies unfold.

Is this the pride of Majority Rule?... Upward, Onward and Together heh?

I am prepared to answer the court in this regard: The news paper was quoted as saying, "Magistrate Forbes said it was “unfathomable” that Rolle placed herself in a position to face up to seven years of prison.". If this is the case, then it would take very little water, in which, Magistrate Forbes would drown in. If he can't fathom why a woman, in today's circumstances, would do such a thing, he is so disconnected from reality that he lives beyond what legal academics called the 'ivory tower'.
