They already did. A great President named Obama.

Nobody would diasgree that slavery perpetuated by black and white people was wrong but a letter as vulgar as this only stirs up resentment and ill feeling. . Much of the slave trade was enabled by black african chieftans and, still exists in Africa and Yemen to name two as you say.. There is racism in the Bahamas where young students classify each other as your " black self" and bleach skin to appear whiter. What about Spanish Wells which until the seventies required all black Bahamians to leave the island at sunset. Your own constant use of the term Hogs is an insult to normal citizens of every colour and every country. It might be the case that you yourself have racist views.

There are many discrepancies with the 2 hour interview, and not only did Oprah not challenge any statement but not ask any questions regarding her relationship/treatment of her father. |Interestingly enough she hardly knew Oprah but invited her to the wedding. Just one example where she says that her passport/keys etc were taken away. How then given her sadness/feeling ignored etc etc did she struggle through over 13 overseas trips many to exotic locations

Get over it Karen

Tell the police you might have seen a gun or heard gunfire fromn this property and they will be there in a flash.

Once prices go up few retailers reduce the cost when wholsale prices go down.. Same for food and so called bread basket items. Maybe if some family islands stored timber under cover rather than outside where it warps and becomes useless, but pass the overall cost on to the customer there might be a cost reduction but I doubt it.

We never learn and accept the fact (clearly shown by the electoral farce in the USA) that 99% of politicians are in it to keep their jobs at any cost and what is best for the country is spoken but over taken by political self preservation. That being said obviously the FNM is being blamed and yes could with hindsight have done better just as in the UK but could all the wise armchair financial wizards please specifically state what they would do, dollar for dollar to ride out this worldwide unplanned for pandemic. Every country has seen its debt increase but wealthier countries are better able to budget and pay it back , but the Bahamas is small , with limited income options (PLP or FNM could not force foreigners or cruise ships to visit) and not only unbelievably inefficient at collecting revenue but has limited alternatives to traditional methods.

Isn't it about time that all new builds were granted planning permission dependant upon the inclusion of a rain water cistern with a minimum capacity dependant on the type and size of building. Not difficult to do in the early stages of construction..

This is a lousy system, where many foreign homeowners deliberately do not pay their property taxes until the property is sold, in effect a cash free loan from the government. It seems that every government despite having legions of pen pushers in air conditioned offices , many with important titles cannot deputise anyone to re value properties every two or three years and bring valuable homes into the taxation bracket. You have a health system which is open to abuse by some senior nursing staff whereby funds sent to Family Islands are not used as intended or fees collected not deposited. These and many other government operated sources of income are rife with inefficiency and dishonesty and need sorting out.

Or you get a contract for a very expensive hospital like the one in Palmetto Point which is now the biggest pile of unsold curry in the world and no hospital.
