But the otuages are never reflected on your light bill. Is this they way of getting their 15% and more?

And when close to $500 million has gone missing or unaccounted for (ok even more) under this Christie led PLP government, who is to say Bahamians must be or even try to be law abiding citizens????!!!

Don't take A GT car no two years to win no race, not even to catch up. Cry shame on PGC and this government!

Do you know a big 'dutty' 'White Knight' law firm is scamming the government out of millions of dollars? They are serving summonses on Bahamians who has paid their property taxes two and three years ago, then billing the government for 'services rendered'!' So while the government is squeezing local, struggling Bahamians by the balls for property taxes, they are paying out millions in a scam to this white knight law firm in a scam. And GT is a fast car!

While murders may be reduced by as much as 30 this year, the problem is that the 'victims' of murder are more and more becoming unsuspecting citizens rather than 'gang members', 'drug dealers involved in turft war', 'persons (criminals ) known to the police, 'victims of domestic violence' or 'persons who had a dispute and found no conflict resolution.' Persons getting killed are mostly unknown to their assailant, they are victims of robbery, they were going their everyday routine of 'living' no ankle bracelet, no criminal record, no drug dealing, but still a murder victim. So even though the numbers may be down, the threat of murder to the average citizen, especially in New providence and Grand Bahama had increased

The fact is that unless the economy grows as well, we shops can see an actual decline in the number of employees. There will come a time the industry reaches a saturation point where additional web shops will generate no increase in business. The new stores will only draw from existing stores and increase overhead. This will happen sooner that later if the government does nothing to stimulate this stagnant economy. Then too as the 'web shop' product matures it will draw less consumers and operators will have to spend more money promoting and rebranding their products. Those who strategically place their stores and resist the opportunity to over expand will benefit greatest. It is an illusion to think that web shops can continue to expand while the rest of the economy shrinks and is drying up

Isn't this cash addicted government doing the same thing to local businesses? And to native Bahamians? While they continue to pile on the taxes and increase the cost of living for Bahamians what warrants Bah Mar getting more concessions? They failed and failed the Bahamian people after getting more than 1/3 the value of the project in concessions. How many local businesses cannot get a business license because they are behind on their National Insurance payments or because they are in arrears on property tax? This government is making criminals of local Bahamians who cannot afford to pay their taxes. While giving the country away to foreigners wholesale

When the incidence of murder started to increase, it was always the police and the news reports that would be sure to state " the victim was known to police" (he had a criminal record) or he had recently been released from prison, or that he was a known gang member, or that he was involved in drugs. Sometimes these speculations were never confirmed and while it may made it more easy for the public to accept that " hey we have a serious crime and murder problem." It did not make it easier for the victims of those families who had to endure the talk. Each person killed should have been treated as a victim of murder and no effort spared to find his killers. A clear message should have been sent that no message in this town would be tolerated, regardless of who the victim was or what the motive was. And even today the public tends to blame the victim of murder regardless of the circumstance. There is clear evidence that murder in this country is for hire and affordable, and also that there are desperate people willing to take a life for a few dollars. And as the economy continues to slide downward, so does the value of life. Can you honestly say that there has been any improvement in the economy over the past five years? What about the quality and standard of living? Shall we continue to bury our heads in the sand?

Last night some 350 young people left their homes for a Club in Orlando, Florida, USA. But today, some ***fifty*** of them will never return to their homes again. Never ever. That is because their corpses lay in some hospital morgue, dead. Never no more to see this life and to rest into eternity. Some 90 more young people lay in hospitals suffering from various injuries, mostly gunshot wounds. You see while they were out for a night or partying (*some may say with the devil)* Someone had other plans. He had loaded his vehicle with firearms and ammunition and was driving uptown, Florida, to attempt to play God. It was a gay and lesbian night club and he was attempting to punish these people for their sin. Apparently he had read the part of the bible that said 'man likin man or woman likin another woman' was a sin, but he missed the part, a commandment that said, "thou shalt not kill." Then there are plenty other parts of the bible that say things like, "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.or even,"***Forgiveness
…18If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”…***or even." Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’” ***It is God's job to judge, not man******Emphasis**11For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.…**Emphasis*

Some of the greatest victims of the referendum are young males and females who are or have struggling with their sexual identity They have been taught (from an early age) that homosexuality and lesbianism is wrong and they should refrain from it. Yes they have the urges but, like every sin, they are suppose to resist the urges, and even remain celibate if they have no attraction to the opposite sex. Now here comes a culture that says you are a human being and more importantly whatever sexual desires you have must not only be accepted by society, but legally protected. So they are now being told that what the church and their parents taught them was wrong and their feelings and desires (for same sex) is right..Marry another man if you want to or marry another female also is your desire. In fact they tell you that if you are a male and not satisfied in a male body, you can change it to a female body. Yet some 41% of persons who have sex change operations attempt suicide at one point or another, and over 80% regret having the operation. God has his plan worked out well in advance. There will be no marrying in heaven, and no giving in marriage, "for men will be like the angles," who have no sex or sexual desires. There will be no reproduction or the need to procreate. We struggle in this flesh body against worldly desires because it is in preparation for a better place and a better life. But the prince of the air, is doing as he did to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is telling you, there are no rules to follow and no consequences fro breaking the laws of God. Do as you want to do and be who you want to do he claims..and we follow his footsteps, yes even to the gates of hell.
.*5But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. **6All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. 7He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,** A***nd like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth.…****
