Tri, I rarely respond to comments on my posts. In this case I will. I don't doubt for a minute that the worst elements of our society are in positions of power. It seems likely that certain political and law enforcement entities fit the description of the "lowest class of society". However, when large portions of the citizenry are on the take and are willing to cheat on even the most basic aspects of things - electric bills, water bills, vehicle licenses, etc. - the thuggery becomes a way of life.
In my observation, much of what we see today is the result of the breakdown at the family level. No father in the home, women who cohabitate with men without values, children who are neglected, and a society that tacitly approves of the breakdown. Some of us have not fallen into the breakdown, we live a modest lifestyle and raised our children in a two parent household with loving guidance and support. In the case of my wife and I, our children are all now honest hardworking productive members of society.
I don't have a for sure answer to this problem, but can only say what my own experience is and what I see everyday. It starts in the home.
These thugs are running the streets every single day and have been for years. They routinely engage one another for the purpose of establishing respect and/or revenge. Meanwhile, we law abiding citizens are living behind barred windows and doors, without the ability to move about safely. Unfortunately, the situation isn't going to improve, and we are left to wonder what is next. The police can't protect us and we are not allowed to protect/defend ourselves. So as we travel around we see the results, decaying cities, theft and crime everywhere, citizens who fear for life and property, and no light at the end of the tunnel. Our country is populated with the lowest class of society, who have no respect for themselves or others. And care nothing about killing someone.
Our laws must be enforced without hesitation, bail or any early release.
Good Ol Charlie Harper, the socialist Democrat bootlicker. He seemingly has no concept of the meaning a "jury of your peers", Additionally, he apparently cannot conceive of one having the ability and right to defend himself, such as was the case in the Riitenhouse trial. His suggestion that polling indicates 75% of Democrats thought Rittenhouse should have been convicted is supplied to the reader without a citation or source to back up the claim.
His ongoing rants concerning the former President Donald Trump are blatant evidence of implicit bias.
The Tribune can do better than Charlie Harper, as he regularly disqualifies himself as being a credible columnist.
Incompetent, feeble and weak; Joe Biden is unlikely to do anything that disrupts his corrupt family business ties to China. With Joe Biden as President, the United States is an impotent and bumbling failure.
It is high time for the Tribune to remove the biased Socialist Democrat bootlicker Charlie Harper from his propaganda position in the Bahamian media.
Good ol Socialist Democrat boot licker Charlie Harper, he evidently did not witness the recent election in Virginia. Where Terry McAuliffe, Barry Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, Stacy Abrams and Kamala Harris all played the Trump card repeatedly ad nauseum with no success.
The Tribune should stop tolerating this kind of political bias.
The link below specifically documents 50 years worth of "Climate Change" warnings, all of which are remarkably similar in their dire warnings. Look over each article and you can easily determine that the goalposts have been moved with each report. Seemingly, without any regard to the previous dire warnings.
The generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy will need to be further developed before solar and wind produced energy can become completely viable and “green”. Unless solar and wind energy is generated/utilized at the point of sale/use or until the “wireless” transmission and distribution of electrical energy is perfected; aerial and underground systems will remain the norm for moving the energy. Both aerial and underground transportation systems require construction techniques and materials that consume large amounts of energy and are not “green”. Given current energy supply and capacity requirements, an enormous amount of space is needed for solar and wind generation sites, which typically are not near the point of sale/use or existing transmission and distribution infrastructure; solar and wind power generation has a long way to go before it is cost effective, efficient, green, and able to serve larger portions of the population which reside in heavily built out urban areas.
The materials required for the manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines and especially batteries are not easily obtained without considerable energy consumption and environmental concerns as well as material supply concerns. Additionally, the storage of energy utilizing batteries that have a defined life span will require a robust recycling program in order to prevent a downstream environmental disaster.
We should continue to pursue wind and solar energy, but we should also accept that a blended energy supply (nuclear, petroleum, natural gas, hydro, wind, and solar) will serve our energy needs best.
Where is good ol Charlie Harper? Did the Virginia election result run him off, or is he just trying to figure out how to continue shining Barry Obama and Joe Biden's shoes? After all, he is the leading "head inside ass" Socialist Democrat columnist of the Tribune.
Shell North America is a leader in providing safe, clean and reliable LNG facilities to a broad spectrum of customers. BPL and it's "owners" the Bahamian Government, would be wise to rapidly move forward with the LNG terminal and related natural gas generating capacity. This is a no brainer. Wake up BPL customers, demand that this process moves swiftly forward.
