" I don’t think it will be in our best interest at this time because we have not evolved to the point where we think of anything other than red, yellow, and green.”
green ????? green ???????? Have you seen any green mp sitting in the House of Assembly? I have not.
This last election the people did not elect even ONE person as an MP anywhere in the Bahamas who was not an FNM or a PLP.
We are nowhere close to being able to be a Republic - we cannot even see Republic far far on the horizon like the mast of a tall sailing ship.
We cannot even make license plates for our cars.
We don't even print our own money - it is printed in Canada.
We cannot keep ordinary blood pressure pills in our main PMH hospital.
What the heck are these Republic people thinking. Has the Queen prevented us from filling our potholes?
Yes, they came and many others came and offered to came. They were all denied and turned away. Same after Hurricane Floyd. Doctors Without Borders came offering to help the children with stress and anxiety from the hurricane - they were turned away by Immigration. The two MPs at the time begged Immigration to let them in - but with communication severed with Nassau - nobody had any way to make a decision. When you turn away doctors to help your own children, how can you even dream of governing yourself.
Where are all the United Nations cry baby organizations????? I guess Haitians weren't living in those domes or else all Hell would have broken loose. But, no, they were only Bahamians - worthless dogs that don't count. Government don't have to worry though - the majority of these former dome dwellers will NOT vote for a 3rd Party next election.
"And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the Realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavor to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life.
"My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities."
Let us pray his life indeed changes radically, and that he comes around and replaces every Governor General in all of his countries.
It is always good when people get what they pay for. It is also always good when they get what they vote for. Such people should have a great feeling of satisfaction in their hearts.
A country whose people are forbidden from knowing what happens to the tax monies they are required to pay, has neither the intelligence nor the morality to be a Republic.
