Voltaire & Readers, now do you all see what I meant in saying that the people are only following the leaders?
Just like you so poignantly stated, Voltaire, "The "ground game" [Deddie] refer to is one of the cornerstones of our corrupt, morally bankrupt "democracy" and a route cause of all of our problems.".
the criminal are inspired and are upheld to do what it is they are doing because our leaders, in principle, and, in effect, are lawless.
What also baffles me is that, on their commemoration of Majority Rule Day, everyone does a B-line to Sir Lynden graveside leaving me to wonder what role then did Sir Randal Fawkes play in all of this.
Look... I don't doubt that Sir Randol was not a difficult personality to deal with, but, let us give 'tribute' to where 'tribute' belongs.
Sir Randol, I understood, had an 'Isaac mindset of seniority': firstborn is heir. Sir Randol never quite got over the fact that Sir Lynden, who was his junior parliamentarian in the seat they both won, was then elevated above him to be Leader of the PLP.
Sir Randol, nonetheless, as I understand the events to have unfolded, made a pivotal decision to give the PLP government the support in seat count in Parliament so as to usher in Majority Rule.
TalRussell and readers alike, what should be most disturbing to us about this situation is the fact that this branch of the Fountain family consists of three (3) counselors & attorneys' of law including Sir Cyril Fountain who himself is Her Majesty's Queen's Counsel.
This number does not take into account what it would be if we were to name those related from the Isaac extension of the family.
But taken to its basic narrative, what is disturbing is that these three (3) persons, like many other of The Bahamas Bar Association, undertook and swore to serve society best interest to help the citizens of this 'commonwealth', including the indigent and marginalize, in their ongoing needs for resolution in legal disputes and social issues.
In this case, reducing these children to a shelter-less existence and tears, was this, at the best, the only resolution that this family of three (3) counselors & attorneys could produce?
I am sincerely disturb, and I hope that others are too. Is this the best and only resolution they could have come up with? If it is, then we all must embrace ourselves for further social and economic deterioration; which inevitably, conditions the breathing ground for an increase in criminal activities. But again, who stands to profit when these poor souls have to stand accused before the courts?
Boy... it seems we cannot win for losing. But then you would think that no one in this Fountain family had ever given birth to a child; that this branch of the Fountain family, it seems, were all instantaneously molded from clay.
Our People need to be more cognizant of not 'WHO' it is that they have to look up to as counselors & attorneys, but rather, 'WHAT'.
This news article shows clearly an example of 'WHAT' we got.
It's a 'free world' where your choice should be respected... and at the end of the day, if it happens to align with the choice of the majority, I am obliged to aligned myself, as well, with your choice. I hope that you will be as respectful with me and commit to honoring my choice as well.
CatIslandBoy... what you said is the normal resentful diatribe coming from the ignorant; however, in the absence of the truth, I do not believe this is your final and absolute conviction about Sir Etienne. You are young and obviously not well informed about Sir Etienne nor have you ever met and saw him personally. I did.
So with no intention injure your pride, I dare to respond to your assertion that "There were no professionals of color working there [Tribune] other than domestic helpers." because,...
...the very Head of the Tribune itself, Sir Etienne, never asserted or saw himself to be a 'white man' in the sense of what you are now being debunked from.
Though he was of very fair complexion, by the standards of the time, he was deemed to be a 'colored man'.
Don't you and others realized that for this purpose of bringing down discrimination in The Bahamas, he, Sir Etienne Dupuch, was fearfully and wonderfully made... intellect, convictions and complexion et al?
When the government is inadequate, the LORD will have to answer for the poor, the shelter-less, the homeless, the fatherless and the motherless.
But I know one thing, I would never want to be the one that has to do the listening in such cases. So Bahamas... Stay tune...
I have learnt that when you fight a man... you don't necessarily touch him... Nope..., do not put one finger on him! Instead, touch his heart!!!
When the LORD wants our attention, he knows where each and everyone of our hearts is located. The LORD touches the heart in more ways than one. See II Samuel 16.
In any event, I never knew that a man or woman can steal a piece of land until I considered what happened in Chub Cay, Berry Islands.
Not being a member of the Club and also not identified, after he was denied docking privilege, I heard it said that Sir Lynden Pindling told the then owner/manager of Chub Cay Club that he had better take a rope or chain and tow his property out of The Bahamas before he returns to Nassau.
Given what is being reported in the media, and if it is all factual, if I was the owners of this piece of land, I too would simply ask to stop the earth and let me get of with my piece of land... or at least, allow me to pull it out of The Bahamas.
These words, as written/spoken, to the wise, ought to taken into context as sufficient.
Friend(s), do, as well, take into account the social-economic crippling sin that was devised and executed by King Jeroboam to manipulate and exploit the people by fracturing their religion and religious practices: I Kings 12:27-31.
Our 'oneness', that is, our unity is the key going forward.
No... No... No... That's not proper and that's not the deal!!!...
A democratic decision/deal holds the view that if Dr. Minnis wins, I and you should follow him to the till...!!!
And if Dr. Minnis happens not to fair so well, the mature and right thing for him, you and me to do, is to get behind whoever comes forth as leader.
This lowdown mentality to 'sign on only for the benefit and not be prepared to also pick-up the weight of the duty, which comes along with the benefit', is what has gotten this Country in the sad and run-down state that it is in right now: people wanting to get something for free but without the personal commitment and sacrifice that they had initially bargained you to do.
Have you not heard... you cannot have your cake and eat it too???
