A young accounting student may not know much more than they are taught in school. Reading what is required, mentored by those who have shown the ability to please their teachers.
While these things are important, it is with a necessary naivete that one could address the need for personal responsibility, yet ignore, or be unaware of the structural issues at hand. Youth has its advantages, but wisdom and extended learning are not part of those advantages. The challenge is to confront a system that would have a hard working, honest and dedicated person still not make a living wage. While personal responsibility is a must, the global figures on poverty, homelessness and starvation indicate that there is much much more to the problem. If one is a so-called Christian, and still refuses to confront these issues they are not really Christian, are they? Further, to ignore the neo liberal Capitalist agenda, or being uneducated on it, is to valuer education for the job training premise alone. A true education, which is not taught in universities, has to do with the history of oppression which is advancing as we speak. If we stop at the cruelties of slavery, without intellectually examining the slavery we all now confront, we have not gained a bit in our so-called education. Nival, while your heart may be in the right place, the forces against you in becoming a true revolutionary leader are real and strong. Few escape those shackles. Few of us indeed.
I would suggest going to Youtube and watching every Martin Luther King Jr. speech you can find. And, then the related ones. You will then realize that we are all part of a society that cares little about people, and everything about greed, death and oppression of all kinds. Look around you. Where are our MLKs today? Now ask why.

Yup. Just like getting a letter from a doctor for a Covid certificate, so you can travel to the Family Islands. If you were going to contract this virus, isn't it likely that entering into a building where sick people are would increase your chances immeasurably? But hey, the doctor's in charge. I just thought you had to have some sense to get through medical school. Apparently not.

You are making more sense to me as time goes on Tal. Perhaps it is the never ending march to insanity that is seen in the methodology of controlling people. It is really not about health, it seems apparent it is about a power drunk people given the freedom to dictate stupidity. Let's face it. If we bought into the idea of facilitating social distancing by reducing store hours, we could then be manipulated into doing whatever else we are told without asking any questions. If not, wouldn't we have a freedom of information act and a true respect for transparency?

Possession of dangerous drugs? Do we really wonder why our youth has such a problem taking us seriously? Justice delayed, is justice denied. For God's sake, can we not move swiftly on things that matter? Is it all just a show of power and money, ego and greed?

Noted. Sorry I missed that.

Will we forever be holding our hands out? Wonder why we're failing spectacularly? Honest Bahanians should be preparing their kids to emmigrate , as the vast majority already have in recent history.

A national commentary which we choose to ignore because we are such good and kind Christians.

Bottom line is we should look in the mirror and ask how we lost our humanity. You especially.

Bruce, it happened some time ago. Transparency would have helped us see it sooner. And yes, sold is the proper word.
