We need 25 years, if we started now, to educate and raise decent human beings. These horrid statistics don't fall out of the sky. So long as our country remains in the grasp of superstition, ignorance and a false religion, we will continue to elect those who are like, well, like those we continue to vote into power. The prevailing, yet proud, ignorance on display here, throughout our archipelago,, is at the root of all our problems. Politics is merely an adjunct to the foolishness, machismo, and lack of education we seem proud of.
Why do we keep talking about politics? As if, the politicians are bright enough to have a clue. Our politicians are clueless, right along with those who elect them. Further, this is a societal failure over two generations in the making. Apparently, we have no mirrors in this country. Given the lip service we pay to all the other personal and institutional failures we have, we can expect the same results. Failure again, while telling everyone how great we are.

Do you believe that sea level is rising and accelerating? Yes or no? Are the rivers of the world drying up? Yes or no? Will hundreds of millions of people need to move, become migrants, due to flooding, drought and desertification in the next few years? Yes or no? Are these negative comments, or a reality that you refuse to acknowledge?
And, while the Bahamian economy is recovering “at a healthy pace” from COVID-19, Mr Rolle nevertheless acknowledged: “The economy is facing increased inflation, through higher costs on imported goods and services. While the growth outlook is positive, the risks to the economy are expected to stay elevated over the near-term, largely as a result of the uncertainties in the international environment.”

Logic is taught in schools. Maybe not in The Bahamas, but some places.
