What would happen if all police officers (on cue) aside from the commissioner kept their guns and protected only their families while relaxing during a 24 hour sick out and thereby allow the chips to fall where they may? No, you see civil servants are not supposed to strike. Right! Just because it is not supposed to happen, does not mean it can not happen. It is believed that during such a 24hour period we would see less legal pontificating by two-faced, spineless made-men, who take and execute secret-orders out of fear, which are contrary to the police or our public's best interest: the immediacy of positive results--though done through an unusual approach--would give rise to a unified citizenry reborn, those who would take on any and all powerful gangster and make and have our deprived and desperate young Bahamian people's empowering demands fulfilled in short order, on pain of death. Prince Hall would be proud of them.

Vindictive does not even begin to scratch the surface of the level of pain that both the thugs and their supporters are about to experience...for we have just entered purgatory en route to Hell. Marvin Gay: The World Is Rated X

It is quite possible that this lady is not guilty of murdering of her husband, but, unfortunately, sometimes when you see something happening right in front of your eyes and desire to live through that experience, you keep your mouth shut. A lot has been said about The Juice (O.J.). And to this day I still believed that The Juice did not kill no one, but sadly, he could never reveal who the real killer(s) were...on pain of death.

Amen!

I shall always be grateful for those few words that past Minister of State, Mr Alfred Maycock, once left echoing in my brain regarding the plight of youth, elders and my country as a whole, "Son, you never know what makes the pot boil until you're in the stew!"

The Five Keys of Selling:

1. Get an agreement on anything with the potential buyer (the weather, a colour scheme, wonderful type and style of windows, furniture, carpet etc.

2. Stress that mine is a reputable organization (never say that yours is the most reputable organization)

3. My product (suggestion, idea) meets your need best

4. My price (support required/requested) is right/fair or worthwhile.

5. Now is the time to buy (to give me your support as I satisfy your need).

This time I do agree with you concerning WIIFM. And such an approach is correct in all types of fundraising. As a Bahamian I should not have been involved in US campaign fundraising efforts in 1981, but I was. This was when the Republican party and Ronald Reagan took office. I was able to raise three million dollars in little more three month over the phone lines in a supposed effort to repay campaign cost while using the cover of "Your President needs your help to defray heavy campaign expenses." Don't you want to help the President of our United States and be recognized for it? Now comes the WIIFM.

Mr or Ms Jones, wouldn't you like to have real access to the President. Yes, by making this one time contribution of $20, 000.- and being awarded the Golden Eagle status Sir/Madame, you will have that type of access.

Mr/Ms Jones reply, "Well, I want to help him, but I just broke my leg four weeks and I can hardly take care of my self right now."

"I can certainly understand that Ms/Mr. Jones and for your pain and suffering I do apologize and hope that the healing of your leg is getting on quite well."

" Well, yes. You see, I am 69 years of ago and my spouse died five years ago, so it's been hard on me by myself. Sometimes I don't know where to turn to"

"I am so sorry to hear that Sir/Madame. I say turn to our President. Let me just say that four years ago you gave the Republican Party's Campaign Repayment Fund $10,000.-. Can I put you down for just $15,000.- this time? And just think of the direct access you will have to the President, where you can air your real need, Sir/Madame."

Silence. You have asked for the order so shut up. (because the first one to speak after that looses; It might take two or three minutes, but then you will here something like this)

"Ok. Well. What was the lowest figure that you mentioned?

"$15,000.-.Sir/Madame."

"Ok, I'll do that one."

"Please let me take this opportunity to thank you for your firm commitment to the President and our party in our time of need, Sir/Madame. I will let the President know of your kind pledge as all of us here join in wishing you a speedy recovery. Now, you will receive a mailing from us in no more that three days in which you should promptly enclose your check for the $15,000- and return it. I want to again thank you for your support Sir/Madame and do have a great day!"

But in whatever business or market you may seek support from do your research so as to clearly state HOW you will be able to satisfy a specific need BEST, for them.

Welcome “The Key”

There is something strange going on here in that I wrote and posted my comments long before you even ventured to poke your snotty nose and head out from under your little rock, but your crap has been posted in order of ranking above my second comment for whatever reasons. Remember this, as you too live in a Christian country, as we are lead to believe it as being, "People will never know that you are a fool so long as you don't open your mouth. And as low as you may stoop using the English language, I can stoop lower without loosing my self respect. So your might be an insider, but I am here to bruise your nuts if you've got any, those of the minister and the clown that wrote that article. Imbeciles like yourself "The key", obviously have not a clue about statistics and probability as it relates to main, median and mode, realistically, so shut up.

Now concerning you calling me a Kilingon for your edification I have placed the meaning of you flipped piece of choice English slang that you attribute to me below. And I will elaborate on it as I reprimand you for being a simple minded imp that know not of what you speak, to whom you speak, and the essence of from whence you cometh.

Provided by: A Dictionary of Slang http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/k.htm

klingon Noun. Faecal remnants that have adhered to anal hairs. Unusual and less common spelling of 'clingon', possibly inspired by the Klingons from the Star Trek TV/film series.

Now, If only you would kindly remove your tongue from retrieving for digestion my klingon, then I could happily pass forth my daily requirement of two litres of sulphuric acids, methane and the likes, so as to go further more freely south.

Let’s see what the Tribune does with these true facts…

And what about the Chinese, American, Japanese and Norwegian poachers that do as they wish as professional thieves in our waters each day and night? It is believed that since our politicians are only methane and sulphuric acid generators and such chicken droppings, who don't have the balls to make the RBDF do their job against especially American and Chinese poachers, then I suggest that our fishermen go out there and make the arrest themselves after arming themselves with heavy artillery purchased from the local gun runners and gambling concerns and teach the RBDF how to defend our waters and do their job! someone has to stand up for our natural resources not only by pushing papers and having meetings, meetings and more meetings without end. And where needed we must be prepared to stuff the cork in the mouths of Mitchell and his cohorts. The Dominican Republic fishermen are not the biggest harvesters of our fish, but for inform sissies, it is easier to look like you have some guts when you are pointing your finger at someone that is your size of smaller, and not address the big time raiding gangster countries.

What about the Haitians, are we allowed to use them as instruments to collect out fish? And what are the chances of them taking over a few of our Bahamian fishermen boats and returning back to dock with a full load of more Haitians on board for our economic consumption?

Again regarding the guy that lost faith in Bahamians because they ran his vessel aground, I say that if you were stupid enough to place your vessel in the hands of anyone without ensuring that such person(s) are place under Bond at such a high level e.g. $50,000.- for the caption and $15,000.- per mate, and that you vessel was insured for about $500,000.-, then most likely you needed that business learning experience.

Now, where are the Bahamian trawlers that I asked the government in May to purchase for the people, along with the hatcheries and a solid international fishing marketing industry, for a sustainable boast in non-oil-drilling economic development and permanent employment for my people?

most of our shameful politicians need to be bound and gaged and tared and fettered by the people, without mercy, and then raced out of town.

Hey there, that was spot on bahamiandude242. Well said! And with regards to you khrisna virgil i'll let the good book speak directly to you on behalf of your attitude towards youthful male members of society as a reminder of what shaky people like yourself and the minister (for the minister is not one that I can respect) should expect. The quotes below come directly from the good news bible today’s english version :

Ecclesiastes 9:11&12
11 `I realize another thing that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do no always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions. Bad Luck happens to everyone. 12 You never know when your time is coming. Like a bird suddenly caught in a trap, like fish caught in a net, we are trapped at some evil moment when we least expect it.

Ecclesiastes 11. 7 - 8 7 `It is good to be able to enjoy the pleasant light of day. 8 Be grateful for every year you live. No matter how long you live, remember that you will be dead much longer: There is nothing at all to look forward to.´

And by the way, Ecclesiastes 7:28-29 seems to condemn you even before and after you wrote you madness or read this: `I have looked for other answers but have found none. I have found one man in a thousand that I could respect, but not one woman. 29 This is all that I have learned: God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated.´

I met a 80 year old Jamaican man once sitting on a bench in Hyde Park in central London and he cut me short with my positive out look on life and said, `Son, yur from the Bahamas, so yur close to me. Let me tell yur some ting. God is an evil God. Now, don’t get mad just tink about this. Him make all things right. So you got the policeman, him praying for you to step out of line so he can arrest you and get promotion, the robber, him praying for you to leave a window open and yur money laying around so he can take it, the undertakes him praying to God to bless him by you dying and so he can make a fortune of your death, the doctor, him praying that you get sick and that he can take the longest time possible to heal you so long as you got insurance coverage, the lawyer, him looking at your wife, if you have a little fight to start filing for a divorce and take every ting you don work for, or else that lawyer is up and down the street look’n for any type of trouble to solve for the biggest price, then the garbage collector, him hopping and praying that when you was in a rage you accidentally throw you rings or jewellery in the trash and then he get it. Suckers will win! I tell you my boy, God is an evil and cruel God, cause everyone praying for a blessing from God and he have to give to all hand.
