So what in this article suggests his corruption? The audit produced "no adverse findings" against him. Do you know something we non-insiders don't know? I wish Moss the best. Leaders are born of circumstances. I would like to see how he manages his temper but also his differences with his own party and slightly more differences with the FNM. Don't know much about him- but I do admire that he has managed to come a long way and did well before entering politics. In my opinion the more corruptible tend to come with nothing and require politics to get rich- and stay rich. Don't think you can say that about Moss and if you can- bring your evidence.

Mr. Moncur, What is the point of you declaring a return to hanging when the justice system can't convict anyone to make them eligible for the hangman's noose? Your statements are irresponsible and shortsighted. Stop working on emotionalism and think about a few fundamental solutions.

The problem is that Cabinet Ministers are drawn from elected officials not the best in the country in a particular area. Who else would you recommend the PM post to this position given his severely limited pool? And don't say Leslie Miller because there is no money to be made in policing and no debt to be forgiven there- so in spite of what he says- he would never accept it.

If I had only said that statement sure- but I also said that I didn't think the folks on the other side of the aisle were any better- And I am commenting on current events. The Mess that is BEC is the child of both party's governments. We have had poor governance for much- though not all of the past 40 years- and as the old folks used to say I fully recognize that- Peter has not been much better than Paul.

Ok Bahamianpride. I see where you are going- but I have to disagree with you on one point- You can't equate "non-violent and sexual crimes"- Sexual crimes are extremely Violent! And the perps need to go directly to jail- no boot camp or choice of jail- directly to JAIL!

This is absolutely ridiculous. This can only happen when everyone is compromised or the government has zero will to simply do the right thing for the Bahamian people. This government seems incapable of negotiating and always running scared. There is not one real politician among you. Not one serious negotiator, coalition builder or true leader among you. (and aint nothing better on the other side of the aisle either) Members of the PLP- ya'll have given us a weak government. Ya'll might think Miller is a joke but what you miss is that the people who have to vote for ya aint laughin.' The majority with him. I already buy my candles and everything prepared for their foolishness over the holidays and what do you do- capitulate! Even the young fellas silent- Ya'll have the stage for the next three years, Wells, Moss, Major- start speaking up man- they cant do nothin' to you. I thought you three might have some sense- but you are way too quiet. If you all dont step up start planning for life after 2017 now. Ya'll gatta go home. The people asking you to step up and do right and ya'll keep backin' down. Not a damn bit a potcake in ya'll. No fight.

We complain a lot but can anyone offer an alternative plan? We say and most believe that illegal immigration is a serious problem so how do we combat it systematically? Has anyone ever asked Minister Mitchell (and other lawyers) why he is against national identification cards, databases with fingerprints and photos? Why their use is not promoted/allowed in the Bahamas (apparently they fly in the face of civil liberties under our law) YET without complaint every Bahamian submits to the very same at the airport when entering the United States? Why do we draw on the laws of other countries when it suits us - our British system heritage in this case- US stop and frisk laws as well- yet seem completely impotent in creating laws and strategies of policing suitable to our peculiar circumstances? I am not xenophobic. I have what might be considered a "non-Bahamian" last name (whatever that means) and have had to present my passport many times to prove my right to the soil. We just went to these new passports and should have started the database then. We should also have an "integrated" system (immigration and police) where everyone entering the country by boat, plane, cruiseship or otherwise- legal or illegal- submit to the same. Only then would be able to monitor - using the right technology (a scary word for our governments it seems) who has a right to be here- whether by citizenship, residency or visa and who doesn't. We would be able to check in an instant, how many times the same person has tried to enter; the various means he/she has tried to enter etc. Until we are ready for that level of order, record keeping and processing, then we are talking fool. These police checks are ineffective and a complete waste of time.

Tell the Prime Minister to divert that million he is putting towards that wasteful Mardi Gras in February to your low security block. It would be money well spent if you ask me.

This fella is a sign of the depth of this country's problems. We not only have the thugs holding you up in your own homes and driveways- you have supposedly working folks like this Greene fellow holding up the public treasury with this kind of foolishness and threatening to join the thugs in open anti-social behavior if he doesn't get his way. I never evah thought I would take Leslie Miller's side in anything- but Mr. Miller- I gat ya back on this one.
BEC hasn't made a red cent in years. How on earth could it give bonuses? Based on what may I ask? Why would employees of an underperforming company expect a bonus when it needs to borrow money to meet its obligations? These folks don't understand the first thing about businesses and bottomlines and dont care. They have earned a lot of money from growing incompetence and doing just enough to keep the light on "most" of the time. Therefore they have zero interest in performing any better. Mr. Greene- you should be ashamed- but this performance of course tells me- you have none- shame that is.

This is a really serious act and it requires a response that is sure and swift. Unfortunately for us, I have no faith- and this is a sad thing to admit much less say- that this administration or the last has/had the vision or political will to develop and enforce solutions to the problem. Policing and the judicial system in this country are broken and the criminals in this act has given everyone the middle finger.
This is what we get for settling for the sad representation and governance we have had for the past decades. This is what the so called middle class get for remaining silent all these years and protecting what they thought was their hard won territory at the expense of the rest of Bahamians. Leaving over the hill but renting substandard housing to the poorer replacements, and immigrants and then showing them disdain- even though only one generation removed from that condition themselves. This is what we get for claiming righteousness, but taking the shortcuts too when made available to us. This is what we get with a tourist economy that paid pool hands at Atlantis twice as much as teachers and expected that profession to attract the best and brightest? To remain a respected profession in an increasingly consumerist society? This is what we get when we pass incompetent so called teachers onto vulnerable students for decades. This is what we get when criminal activity is glamorized. This is what we get in a country without accountability, a culture of responsibility and consequences for serious anti-social behavior. This is what you get when immoral acts against children, women and the defenseless are not punished. This is what we get when those with all want more and suck and suck and give nothing back to the community. This is what you get when people only think about themselves and theirs and forget that if you don't think about community and show concern for it and your neighbor, that the neighbor might someday prey on you. This is what you get when you stop taking children to church (your right) - but have no alternative ways to teach children the valuable human lessons of the those Bible stories- irrespective of what you believe. Too many hypocrites in the so-called church. The old prey on the young, women and men covet each other's things- husbands, wives and partners without consequence and feed off of the thrill of secrecy and ego. We hurt each other without thought. We are lazy, suckneck, hypocrites. After 40 years of prosperity we should be ashamed of where the country is right now. It should have been a gem, but instead we have created a multi-headed monster that is careening into an abyss. We live next to a murderer who is out on bail. Every time I see that fella I wonder - what does that say- his being out on the free walking the streets- about how we value of the life he took. And you know what the answer is- nothing. If we don't value the place- if we don't expect AND insist on better- it aint coming.
