Any time you have to sneak legislation thru the back door, it is not in the best interest of the Bahamian people.

Tragedy never happens in the singular. It just keeps multiplying.

When you watch what is going on in the US where everyone and his mama ( who has some status) is being accused of sexual abuse you can understand the agenda behind these laws. They will use your wife (or husband) to get you when they want to, Has the athletic doctor convicted of sexually assaulting over 150 young women been charged yet? The scary thing was when a psychologist testifying at the trial said in response to why many of these women allowed themselves to be molested over and over by this man. One woman said it happened to her over 150 times. The psychologist said, "(Young) women are like goldfish in an tank. You tap on the glass and they swim away, but they return a few seconds later, because they are curious.

@ Bogart....there is a camera system that allows for persons to give evidence or make pleas from the prison. But in the case of supreme court matters the accused are still required to make an appearance in court and be present for their trial.

But Mitchell is right: when the PLP got kicked out of office crime fell dramatically!

The former commissioner of police and others under his authority would regularly say, “There is a small group of prolific offenders who are wreaking havoc on the rest of society.’ And truth be told, there was a small group of individuals responsible for many of the murders over the years. And it was only after their demise was there a real break in the heinous amounts of murders happening in this country day after day, year after year. Almost half the one hundred plus murders occurring each year because of gang members beefing with each other and playing tit for tat with human life. Sending younger gang bangers to get their hands dirty by taking an innocent or unsuspecting life. The problem was that the police didn’t go far enough in dismantling gangs and curbing the gangsters sickening, killing sprees. Remember another popular phrase used by the commissioner and others ‘that’s one group of criminals killing up the other group (gang), like murders in the country were no big deal. "let them kill up each other til ain'n none left." How many mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers and young children lost their innocent loved ones in the crossfire of these killings? Life lost because they knew the wrong person or hung out with the wrong person or was even just a relative of someone? Retaliation killings they call it. Then another catch phrase used by the police was’the victim was known to police, or the murder victim was wearing an ankle bracelet or ‘he had only been recently released from prison.’ And with this attitude the murders raged on, setting new records and making everyone believe no one was safe in New Providence, especially young males. And even now with the lull in murders there’s still a lot of work to be done. Evidence is that recent murders in Grand Bahama may be linked to gang/ drugs activities in New Providence as is the discovery of skeletal remains in Abaco. The police must continue its unrelenting assault on gangs. The mission of gangs is to kill and to create havoc on society. They must set a zero tolerance for murders and for gun possession as well as gangs.Gun smuggling is a lucrative and well organized criminal activity, not only here in the Bahamas, but around the world. The police may not be able to stop the gun smuggling, but they, along with the courts, can make it painful, very painful for a person to be caught with an illegal gun and using it or intending to use it to commit or a crime

"3. Which nation was predicted to arise around the same time the papacy was receiving its deadly wound?
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; ***and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." Revelation 13:11.***

Answer: The papal captivity mentioned in verse 10 took place in 1798, and the new power (verse 11) was seen emerging at that time. The United States declared its independence in 1776, voted the Constitution in 1787, adopted the Bill of Rights in 1791, and was clearly recognized as a world power by 1798. The timing obviously fits America. No other power could possibly qualify.

4. What is the significance of the beast "coming up out of the earth?"
Answer: This nation arises "out of the earth" instead of out of the water as did the other nations mentioned in Daniel and Revelation. We know from Revelation that water symbolizes areas of the world that have a large population. "The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Revelation 17:15. Therefore, the earth represents the opposite. It means that this new nation would arise in an area of the world that had been virtually unpopulated before the late 1700s. It could not arise among the crowded and struggling nations of the Old World. It had to come up in a sparsely populated continent."
