Leadership must be recognized to prevail.
Some who have true leadership, were nailed to the cross, as they usually are.
I do like the adage, without vision the people perish.
But, aren't there other ways the people perish?
We have a global citizenry who seem addicted to gadgets, who seem to no longer read.
People get their news and information from social media.
Many, no most, people are divorced from the truth. Instead, relying on superstition and belief as the end all. Leaders do not spring up out of nowhere. They are produced by the society and people who raised them. True leaders do not last long in today's world.
They are roundly ridiculed by us. They are ignored by our media. They are killed for subversion and radicalization. They NEVER make into politics.
The US and The Bahamas are not unique.
We have destroyed the ground from which leaders can be grown.
Do we truly need leaders to act like mature adults? Look around. Read the papers. Watch the news if you must. The people in the US and The Bahamas appear to give not a flying fluck about anything but their own mouths, genitals and pocketbooks. And, just who would expect a leader worth their salt to come lead us?
I usually agree with Mr. Stachhan, but after seeing Churchhiil, Bush and Obama being called "leaders".......................an insult to Nelson Mandela. They do not belong in the same category. After all, Ghengis Khan, Hitler and Stalin were all effective "leaders" too. Weren't they? And, people still perished, didn't they?

Yes gogo,
Wonderful lack of logic. As for me, yes, that is exactly what I am waiting for. A big payout from BPC to keep my mouth shut. Surely you shills for BPC can do better. Missed the news for the last few years?

Yes. Exactly right.

Yes, it is a bit beyond unbelievable.

They are fooling nobody Voltair. Thanks for calling them out. It has been obvious from the beginning. We must fight their foolishness with facts. Neither of whom seem to have a grasp of.

Just type in "sea level rise" into your search engine. What planet are you living on Pillow?
"Fossil fuels are the only economical and environmental choice"? Geez, are you that ignorant of both economics and environmental basics?
Global warming is real.
The oil companies have known what fossil fuels are doing to our climate for 45 years now, according to Exxon's own scientists. Yet you, Mr. or Mrs. Pillow, as an obvious shill for BPC, propose not to know this. Yet, you are going to suggest to these readers you have some wisdom, some knowledge? Sorry bud, you are fooling nobody, though you are using oil industry prescribed tactics such as sowing disinformation, trying to create confusion, denying the facts. Go away.

Safely? Do you have Bahamian children? Do you have more than a short term financial interest in The Bahamas?

Good letter.
We need to take a good hard look at this oil drilling.
Bahamians have a lot to lose if things go wrong.
As if, it hasn't happened before.
BPC needs to take a hike.

Pride cometh before a fall. Clearly not a Bahamian. If you are. Prove it by showing another Bahamian-centric comment you've made in support of Bahamians. Just a poor little oil boy. No brains but probably a little money to show off. The price for a soul is pretty cheap now.

I agree. I've pointed out before that this is the only issue they comment on. Further, the only ones who you would not expect to be concerned about abrupt climate change in The Bahamas are either poorly educated or are people who don't live here, and/or have a financial stake in oil.
