Perhaps one day we'll have a democratic nation where the will of the people and their needs are attended to. At present, we have nothing that resembles democracy, justice, or human dignity.

We are a failed state. The fish rots from the head down. We should pass a law saying that if you have ever been in politics here, you are unable to hold office again. Sure, we'll lose a few good ones. But, very few. Time to start a new day, with entirely new leaders.
The greatest fraud perpetrated in this country is Batelco against the Bahamian people. We pay high prices, are promised decent, acceptable service, yet it is never delivered. I have been reporting this fraud for years now. Our government doesn't seem interested in prosecuting.

You words are filled with much wisdom, enlightenment and humanity, Mr. Allen. And, of course you are spot on from an economic and political perspective. Your values and outspokenness are much needed bright lights in this world of increasing darkness. Thanks
Ms. Scott, Your observations and criticisms are most important and essential to our freedom. If we are paying attention, we will see this trend occurring everywhere. It is the overt elimination of dissent. This can only occur in ignorance. Ignorance of history. Ignorance of the law. Ignorance of where politics is headed. Ignorance of who is pulling the strings of OUR leaders. We are a country of 400,000 people, about the size of Miami. Who is the mayor of Miami? My point being, do we really believe we have the intellectual, moral, economic successes that would give substance to our leaders words? The reality is that if our leaders spoke out against the US, for instance, how long would they be around? Our leaders are bought and sold. Period. They are well paid parrots. The suppression of dissent, and the jailing, and even murder, of those who speak out against the powers that be, should be alarming to anyone who is educated and moral. Ms. Scott, for you to speak out against these travesties targeting our fellow Bahamians is patriotism, honesty, justice and morality at its highest. For you to get tired and give up this fight, would be a travesty. Thank you for your enlightened letter.
Your viewpoint quite scares me. and illustrates why some people turn to drugs and alcohol. It may be merely to escape viewpoints like yours. Would the world be a better place if we followed your advice? Highly unlikely.
Do your homework. NATO, also known as the US, has backed Russia into a corner. They have encircled Russia with military bases and nuclear weapons, against stated high level promises. How would you feel? What is clear is that your information, and perspective comes from mass media, and social media, instead of investing in educating yourself by in-depth reading of history. I am sorry, but Davis is not a thinker, by any standards.
Forget about Lincoln Bain for a moment. Unlawful Assembly should be what upsets you. Under the guise of "security" we will continue to lose our rights. If you are not paying attention to what is happening to protesters in the US you are uninformed. The goal is for total control of our population. And, it will be guided by someone who has little brains and fewer ethics. Those who love power and control, abuse our rights, and jail those who speak out, are not the exception in history.
