You are exactly right on this.

I agree with you on this.

First, stop arresting people and penalizing them. That's a start. The judges and cops who feel it is still necessary to arrest people and fine them for pot should see the light first. They manage to turn their heads from the many, many other law breaking activities in this country. Are they stuck in last century. The story above, which we are not allowed to comment on, of a man arrested and fined for marijuana is a case in point. "In response, Magistrate Ferguson-Pratt told Maycock she hoped the fact that he had to travel from Eleuthera to the capital to appear in court served as a “wake up call” for him. As a result, she fined the defendant $750 or three months in prison. I ask myself if it is the judge who needs the wake-up call. When people remain in places of power for too long they start believing in their own importance and infallibility.

Thank you Mr. / Ms. Lewis. The aims of BPC and those associated are quite clear. They care about one thing, and one thing alone. They care about money for themselves and counldn't give a shit about The Bahamas. Just read Banana7 and Columbus Pillow's comments. They do not even live here, yet are pushing this risky venture so that they can make a few bucks. Low lifes.

Please keep hitting your head against the wall. Maybe you'll get some decency to sink in. Lowly money grubber.

To suggest that in today's climate there is nothing we can do about oil drilling is utter nonsense. I don't buy it. Our politicians who have a financial interest in this need to be outed.

The letter writer's complaints seem quite valid, given my acquaintances in the US have told me the same thing.

Sorry Mr. Moultrie, there is no way to get rid of the guns. Just like booze. Just like marijuana. Just like prostitution. Just like anything there is a demand for. You are looking for a quick solution for a problem that is decades in the making. We have failed to raise children who respect life. This was a failure of Bahamian society. The gang members are merely a result of this failure. This failure is merely one of many. Who cannot see the complete collapse of civil society in The Bahamas? No. Moultrie, you are as much a part of the problem as the guns. You have been unable to man- up enough to see the real problems, if you could see them at all. Judging by your public statements alone, you should be one of the last ones anyone comes to seeking advice on what needs to be done. Perhaps there should be, as you say, " a dragnet operation" looking for those who would mislead their people with hogwash.

The "conservatives" are clueless morons. Type in Republican Governor Kasich's remarks on what the Republican (conservatives) stand for in the US.

I forgot to mention your enlightening and erudite support of prez trump.
