You mean Mr. Raynard Wells... nonetheless, you did not thoroughly answer my questions. But, is a persons ability to "pony up to the truth" a matter of political affiliations???

You said it for me already: "This person is writing an open letter anonymously??". Thank you Pubilus... By the way, Godson is my actual name. What's yours?

Thank you Economist for your sincere acknowledgement... Mr. Norman Solomon deserves our loud applauds. He made me proud to be a Bahamian; and one to walk away and stand up against crime and corruption

Economist, your are correct as far as the historical information... However, Mr. Smith has explained what is known to be the factual outcomes of the Commission of Inquiry. These may or may not be verified.
And to be frank with you, and other readers, ever since the Inquiry, and now as an informed adult, I have observed the life and pursuit in this society of the Chairman of that Commission... and I say at best, I am not impress with him... it seems, he too, like Sir Lynden, is into hoarding wealth and position for he and his family. In fact, because of this display greed and better-than-thou-upmanship attitude, I think sometimes that I owe Sir Lynden an apology for the stance I took against him back then... which actually emanated from the information and impressions I got as a result of the 1983 Commission.
Then to hear the Chairman's son the other day talk how he and Sir Lynden was close friend, notwithstanding, he and I work closely in Englerston to unseat the PLP there.
But, my point remains, why have not we, as 'honest citizens' done more to recognize Mr. Solomon and the brave stand he took against crime and criminals. The life of this man should have been continually heralded in our ears for centuries to come.

Before my own spiral, which happened to lead to my imprisonment, Mr. Solomon, and Mrs. Cleopatra Christie, were those persons of inspiration who stood out in my mind as, citizen and public servants of note, who were bold and dared to stand up and sacrifice themselves and careers against crime and corruption in The Bahamas.

OK then... let's say I join in with bashing Mr. George Smith for what the Commission of Inquiry concluded about him...

why the hell then don't we stand up and give praise and honor to mr. norman solomon. give him the kudos that he, would then and now, deserve for standing up alone (i recalled precisely) against the activities that were carried out in norman's cay???. Is it because his skin was white???

He got his car burned down, home shot at and his life was seriously threatened.... I sold the newspapers in those day and it was I who had the guts to read out the headlines to my purchasing customers!!!

Friends, my greatest fault is this, though not being subjected to the Commission of Inquiry... unlike some others, i can recall...

As a card carrying member of the FNM, I still say that we need to do away with the bitterness and hate by which we express our opposition to the governing party and their members. It is this beastly attitude that makes me concern and that 'mucky' the good prospects for a functioning democratic system and the outcome of its processes.

Yes... if these persons were to retire, as I also want them to, how then would we treat them? Would we continue bashing them or seek to make their retirement irritable and uncomfortable just because of what we feel they were lacking, and therefore, their failures in the past? Friend, let's do a check on our attitude. It is a determining factor in our altitude... Love ya

Seallce, since you are of the view that Mr. Smith “lies’… and that “no one believed him then and no believes him now”… would it have made a difference with you, in regards to a change in your comments, had he ball-over and confessed that he had in fact done wrong? And if he had confessed wrong, what then would be your comments? Would you compliment, or, would you still ridicule him? I wan to know your answer as to whether or not there is, or ever could be, a positive and constructive difference in his life, or for that fact, your view of him.
