The problem is that nobody in Bahamian government can be trusted.
This starts with the PM himself.
Does anyone really believe the US doesn't know our politicians cannot be trusted?
The PM wants transparency from the US, yet can't seem ti be forthright and honest about anything he does here?
That is the sad reality. None of these jokers can speak the truth. They just can't do it.

The "brain drain" is essential to the political structure that exists here.
There is no way an educated and sensible person would vote for any of these clowns in office, nor would they put up with the stupid stuff coming out of Darville's, Davis', or any of these joker's mouths.
Why would reasonable people accept that those public servants, politicians we call them, can get rich in 5 years while are best and brightest of our people leave these shores because they are not paid or respected as they should be? Maybe why davis' daughter is abroad, hey?.
These fools we call ministers could never get away with this crap if we had an educated and sensible populace. Most of them would be in jail. Instead, here in The Bahamas we promote them and reelect them.
There is a health care crisis in The Bahamas. Unfortunately, it has been created and maintained by those we elect to represent the interests of the Bahamian people.
As many of the older people are saying, This is the worst they have ever seen.
And, if the PLP is voted back in, it will get even worser.

We are a nation of men, not a nation of laws.
Further, most of us couldn't care less about anything other than ourselves.
This is the best we can do.
Get used to it, and it getting worse all the time.
The present PLP administration clearly represents this attitude.
They are stealing this country blind. And, nobody seems to care.
Everyone over 60 I know says this is the worst it has ever been.
Funny that they'll probably be voted back in.
As we remain ignorant and alliterate.

Everything here is politics.
Not one in government, it seems, has an iota of concern for the Bahamian people.
How do politicians become rich in office?
There is not one educated person I talk to that doesn't say, "This is the worst it's ever been".
Why aren't our educated and decent children returning home?
Is it lack of jobs?
Or, the idea that brains have no standing in this country.
The bottom line for moving up the political ladder seems to be, How Low Can You Go?
It doesn't matter what is going on in the rest of the world. Our job is right here in front of us.
The present PLP administration is destroying any hope for a Bahamian future.
Smart parents are telling their kids to leave these shores, and not come home.
Any real educated arguments countering this point of view?
No real leaders in this country. Only chubby, selfish, ugly politicians.

Imagine if we had real leaders in this country.
Instead, we have a bunch of immature children who spend their time fighting amongst themselves.
The entire country suffers from a lack of intelligent, mature, honest leadership. Period.
Not a one of them a real leader. So sad.

Obviously Dames has never lived on a Family Island. The crime is in Nassau Sir. Most of the Family Islands are fairly tranquil. Let's keep it that way. Stay the hell in Nassau.
Most Family Islands have too many police from my observations.

And what do thinking people say about whether things will get worser or better?
The writing is on the wall for those who can, or bother to, read.

Any business that focuses on cutting costs and staff, at the expense of good service for their customers and their country, deserves what is coming to BTC.
Anyone paying attention could see this coming.
And, the politicians who allowed and profited from this situation by selling BTC to Cable & Wireless should be held to account.
Until the Bahamian people begin to hold our political leadership to ethical standards we can be assured that nothing will change.
This present PLP administration seems like the worst, bold and willing to screw the Bahamian people while we look on, and thumb their noses at us.
Now, one individual will control how, when and who gets their internet service. And then charge us what they want.
Those who sold BTC to Cable & Wireless should be criminally charged.

So, I wonder why nobody has asked why the US is so concerned with what Cuba and The Bahamas do, when it is a fact that the #1 reason for bankruptcy in the US is crippling medical costs. And, how many Americans die each year from inadequate and unaffordable health care?
Why are we unable to see the hypocrisy here?
And, I wonder what country has helped keep Cuba in the condition it is in by sanctioning anyone who does business there?
Not too long ago, sane and educated people agreed that collective punishment is wrong. We all did. What has so happened to our minds that all we can say is "Communism Bad" when the most prosperous nation to the north of us has all of these social ills, suicides, school shootings.....?
Why is the US still punishing Cubans when the vast majority of them were not even alive when Castro led the revolution.
Some commenters here are simply brainwashed.

Yes. Couldn't agree more.
