Clearly, we have little to no leadership in The Bahamas. We have cultivated a society where the best and brightest have already left these shores. What exists of The Bahamas today, is but a shell of its past hope for a bright future. The present PLP administration is a perfect example of an All-for-Me political party. Devoid of principles, intelligence, empathy and honesty, this nation is being governed by those least capable of doing so. I would not blame any intelligent, and hopeful graduate for leaving The Bahamas. Successive political parties have made sure that the rot they have perpetrated upon our people will persist for generations. The present leadership of The Bahamas is totally disgusting.
Funny how those talking politics are not the ones suffering from the horrible leadership our country is saddled with. Mr Bodie lost his marbles years ago. Now, it is a waste of ink and time to read his ramblings. Things get worse and worse for the average Bahamian, yet a politician will fix it? The PLP seems as if it is a criminal organization. The crap we have witnessed these last few years should cause any thinking person to call for a complete political overhaul, with NONE of the current politicians allowed anywhere near a government office. Only then, after the chaff is separated from the wheat, may we possibly move forward. Davis is not fit to lead a boy scout troop, honestly.
Once again, I would ask; Have you heard Herschel Walker speak? Concussions are a real thing affecting far too many ex-football players. Clearly, Walker suffered far too many brain injuries. Does this qualify him as an ambassador to The Bahamas? Apparently so, according to those who know best. Wow! How far we have fallen in these 50 years. The declining intellectual state of our editorial writers, politicians and academic leaders is a real blow to the idea of nation building.
Theft, government corruption, low worker productivity, regressive taxation, lack of educated politicians, managerial incompetence, dishonesty, unreliable infrastructure and a whole host of other social issues as well as legacy loans for which the Bahamian people will be paying for generations, amounting to interest payments of a million dollars a day for the loans already spent. The honest and real answer to the Bahamian mother would be to leave. Sorry, but if anyone sees The Bahamas solving any of these problems in the next 2 or 3 generations, please tell everyone so we can all get on board.
I heard a doctor was 97% successful in saving his/her patient. The patient died, but the doc was 97% successful in his/her efforts. Anyone who has ain inkling of intelligence, and has followed this story from the beginning, knows that Sarkis was good for The Bahamas. Period. In good faith he lived here, contributed here and invested here. I feel it is safe to say that his heart was here. He was significantly raising the bar on many levels for our people. Sadly, he was treated rather unfairly by many here. The reasons are probably many. But, if we are honest about it, he is not the exception to the rule in how we treat those who are "not from here". The Bahamas is on a dangerous glide path. Reading the papers, it seems undeniable that we have lost control of decency and Christian principles. We hear a lot of talk, talk and more talk. That is almost all we ever get. Where are our leaders? Where, pray God, are our leaders?
Sounds like, "who will protect us from the police?" Also sounds like the real criminals are running the place. A few bad apples? Rotten to the fricking core, hey? But, they bust someone smoking a joint peacefully. And, how is that lawsuit against the US for the number of "their" guns used in Bahamian crime? Hard to say that our tax money is being used in an effective manner, yes? Will it get worser, before it gets better?
Nothing will ever come of these alleged transgressions. Davis couldn't become transparent if his life depended upon it. The political class is a den of vipers. We put them there
"Ms Woon noted that The Bahamas is the only country in the Caribbean with a commercially viable conch fishery. “All the other countries in the Caribbean have fished them to extinction,” she said. Since scarcity increases value. The Bahamas should focus on making sure we protect this species. This would be a job for Fisheries. Get out of the office and into the classroom. We presently have a very very poor environmental awareness amongst our adults. We must focus on the children and raise their awareness. Fisheries officers should be in every school whereby they have no time to sit around on their phones. Do your job, or find another one. Education is the key. Neither the PLP not the FNM seem to grasp this.
