Were there any surprises in the report?

Many thinking people believe our government education has failed, judging by the national test results. By spending more money and resources for these policemen in schools tells us exactly what about our national parenting skills? We are merely asking that our kids act in a respectful, civil and Christian manner. Obviously we have failed. Does this scheme, championed by our illustrious national security establishment, bode well for the future of The Bahamas?
It doesn't necessarily take a well educated person to figure this one out, does it?

Dr. Sands is quite right.
Pinder is showing supreme contempt by this statement.
There is precious little of the government's business that should ever be kept from the people.
A reasonable person would expect AG Pinder to know better.
Personally, I consider this arrogance on this matter alone, to be grounds for his resignation.

We are creative here.
We know we can kill someone apart from stopping their breath and heart beat.
We do it all the time.

There is nothing in a functioning democratic government that should be kept from the people.
Anyone who thinks so should be run out of town.
Period.

And Saturday.

Then why do most Bahamians I know prefer to hire foreigners for job openings they have?
Especially if it involves jobs within one's house and positions of trust.
Being capable of doing a job is not the same as willingly doing a job with a good attitude, being on time and being honest.
Perhaps these are the problems that we need to attend to.
Perhaps this is why we are in this situation in the first place.
Sure, Bahamians can do many of these jobs.
But will they without breaking the back of the employer?
On our small family island, the people who come back home from Nassau to invest their money simply refuse to hire our locals.
Why could that be?
So long as we have people in positions of power who do not acknowledge these realities, we are wasting our time and money in paying them.
Politics anybody?

Our Bahamian pastors, for the most part are uneducated, unthinking, and political opportunists.
Sadly, they influence and further degrade our struggling country.
Our religious leaders in The Bahamas are a joke.
The Christian Council is more a group of uneducated thugs with little to no understanding of Christianity as taught by true scholars.
The idea that The Bahamas is a Christian nation is a cruel joke.
These jerks have had way too much sway in leading this country astray.
These pastors are no different than anyone else with an opinion and should be treated as such.

These are our smartest people?
As if, there is no financial crisis in The Bahamas already.
Where do these people live and work, and play that they are so removed from the financial debacle most Bahamians are experiencing NOW?
As I have said before, these people do not give a damn about human beings.
They are schooled in a dog eat dog worldview where only those gifted. like they are, have a right to relax and enjoy God's bounty.
A sad state, lead by those whom we consider smart.
And, we listen when they call themselves Christians.

A Country for Sale.
Look it up.
