It could have also done what it did in Barbuda to Nassau/New Providence. When that happens and at this rate it will happen soon- will depopulating this island be a consideration? If people live on an island and have lived there for centuries, it is obviously habitable. Family islands have always suffered from our governments lack of ideas, a lack of visionary thinking, lack of planning, absence of will, presence of cronyism and the oppressive rule of central government whose members for the most part have not visited these corners of the country and couldn't point to Mayaguana on a map. These islands could be public partnerships ensuring innovations that could be of benefit to the entire chain- but someone always have to get paid.

Congratulations!

Sucknecks-now really isnt the time to hear this BS.

Why cant they call fraud a crime in this country? Absolutely ridiculous.

Tell Fred to shut up and take a seat! Being PM isn't about handling one thing at a time but managing a hundred things effectively at the same time. Not that he will ever have to experience it.

Utter disgrace.

I remember several years ago encountering a young woman about 17/18 years old in the National Insurance line Big Pond. She looked normal mentally. Fully developed physically but she reached out to me to help her fill out the form. The girl could not read and write properly. I helped her but my heart sank. I had encountered illiteracy at PMH when I worked there during the summertime in high school, but then it was usually an older crowd. This girl was no doubt a high school graduate and it has become clearer and clearer that she was not alone. Sad as it may be- an illiterate population; a population that cannot reason, cannot read properly, cannot count, can't think critically on their own, but want the trappings of life they see others have is a dangerous, dumb and potentially immoral population- whose first instincts become survival. I recall my dad working on building Atlantis back in the day and he was shocked at the number of young male workers who didn't read the paper, didn't know what was going on in the country and to his horror, couldn't read a check to know whether they were being paid what was duly owed to them. Back then he would say all the time "we are in trouble." My parents went to Southern and Eastern Senior schools. Schools that no longer exist for whatever reason and most of their teachers were Bahamians. They can function on an education they received in the 50s and today our students can't pass English and math? They need to identify what is wrong, make a call and start again. They need to start with making 40 students in a classroom illegal; encourage teachers to continue training after they get the job to keep up with the times; cut the deadweight; introduce 21st century learning methods and curricula; introduce different types of schools like art schools, language academies, vocational high schools that all teach the same core curriculum in addition to classes in their specialty area. Finally we need to discourage this culture of mediocrity that has taken over the Bahamas. There is no future with a majority illiterate, ignorant, feral population. No future.

This is such a beautiful location. In extremely poor condition. Walked here from Atlantis after a hurricane tore down all the fencing in the houses along the shore and the view back onto Nassau took my breath away. Would be a great part of a boat tour of our historic harbour's fortifications.

World Class! Congratulations Shaunae. You are truly an amazing athlete. Your success demonstrates values we need to instill in our young people: You developed your talents. Became knowledgeable of your field. You set goals. Stayed focused. You are disciplined. Work hard. Got your mental game together. You get the job done. You Shine. I wish you continued success in the future.

Most Bahamians don't give two hoots about the numbers bosses. He was acting in the capacity of a lawyer- everyone deserves representation whether you morally agree with their actions or not.
