I have had this argument with numerous people since year one of Bahamas carnival and no matter what logical and/or moral points I present, the bottom line is those who take part in this event simply have their mind on one thing only...having "fun". No moral, cultural or economic disadvantage matters to them. I am blue in the face from having this debate with carnival supporters or 'okay-ers', so I keep my trap shut. I was very disappointed, though not even a little surprised, when our government at the time said yes to carnival. I'm hoping it dies out eventually ,but with the support it still receives from those with the resources to have it continue regardless of whether it makes money or not, I don't see that happening so I will just continue to ignore it every year. Sad state to see my country in - The Bahamas was not 'this' when I was a young girl growing up. Shame on us.
