The gravity of history, dear editorial writer, is slanted toward the oppression of people in favor of strongmen.
Until the people of the world understand our mutual solidarity, the strongmen will write history as they see fit.
The people of the world. the vast majority of humanity, are completely neglected.
Instead, individuals with money and power shape the world, and history, to suit their own selfish interests.
No government, Chinese, US, or any other, truly cares about people. It is a geopolitical game to them, where individuals are sacrificed for a countries leader's ego.
There are few exceptions.
The statistics are clear. Wealth inequality, dissolution of democracies everywhere, the rise of ignorance and stupidity. This is happening everywhere.
If there is evil in the world, it is embodied in the world's current "governments".
Evil, at a scale we see in global governance, has not yet been firmly established in the hearts of the world's people. But, that time is soon upon us.
The Chinese government, along with the US, is as corrupt, blind to human rights, and predatory upon its people as any that exist.
Quit lecturing us on fairness, justice, and political posturing. History, real honest history, is quite clear on the willingness of most every government to sacrifice their people for shows of ego and proclaimed power.

We, in The Bahamas, are virtually impotent, intellectually, morally, and practically to rise to any occasion.
We have failed to instill a respect for our natural resources.
We have abjectly failed to educate our kids to think.
We want them to believe. Believe in some mean man-god, some crooked politicians.
Belief is fine. For certain things. Things that don't contradict reality.
We have embraced a disgusting form of Capitalism and a misguided form of Christianity.
We have no right to ask others to help us when we haven't bothered to help ourselves.
Davis is a very poor spokesman for justice and environmental equity.
The bus is headed for the cliff. The brakes don't work. We are now arguing for someone else to build a strong guardrail, instead of realizing the reality in front of us.

We can't pick and choose our environmental fights.
Where is the concern over AUTEC killing whales and dumping untold toxic substances into The Tongue of The Ocean?
Where the concern over Rubis dumping gas into the water table?
How about the toxic dump in New Providence?
The proliferation of cars spewing all sorts of poisons on this little island?
How about the continued export of conch? Sure to devastate our stock.
It is difficult to find an honest environmental advocate these days.
They are wedded to the status quo of money and power.
The BNT is the worst. Environmental lawyers come next.

I agree that we should not bow to EU demands.
However, our leaders understand that The Bahamas has a regressive tax system for our people, yet allow the rich to come here and pay little to no taxes. I am speaking from direct knowledge of many rich people claiming residency in The Bahamas, only for the purpose of saving themselves millions, perhaps tens and hundreds of millions a year in taxes in their own countries. Is this fair? Is it fair to Bahamians who have to shoulder an unfair tax burden to run this highly inefficient and corrupt country. The level of education in our country is appalling. So that, those who are educated in government, such as Halkitis, knowingly allow this very unChristian way of taxation. Worse, they go along with, even supporting it to the end. Obviously, these people have a huge disconnect in their minds.
Let's be honest. We are not an honest nation, as a whole.
Take that anyway you want. We are not an honest nation.
And, neither are we a Christian nation.
If you can't read the news and realize this, you received a very poor or wholly inadequate education.

Or, to prepare for what is coming. More frequent and stronger hurricanes. Sea level rise. Extreme heat.
Davis is intellectually lost. He may make a fine attorney, where truth is subjective, but there is a real world the rest of us must deal with.

Ah, religion!

Exactly right.

You are an idiot.

Very good letter.
Sound argument.
How well do we read?
How well can we think?
How long will it take The Bahamas to have a literate populace, elect honest politicians and get rid of most of their crooked religious "leaders"?
Just asking.

I think all the barbers that will be employed, is well worth the destruction of our largest island.
