Repost - Our winds blow from the southest to the northwest for most of the year which means the dump ideally should be relocated to somewhere in the Clifton Bay area. This is the reason why Runway 14 at Nassau International Airport is our nation's busiest runway. Runway 14 has a compass heading of 140 degrees - almost due southeast. For safety reasons aeroplanes take off and land into the wind to the maximum extent possible. Only on very occasional days would residents of Lyford Cay, Old Fort or Albany be inconvenienced by smoke from dump fires if the public dump is relocated to the Clifton Bay area.

What's truly laughable is Christie and his cohorts had the nerve to defy the outcome of the national referendum on the gaming web shops, conveniently and wrongfully claiming that it was just intended to be survey and therefore should not be binding on the government.

Bahamians will also need many candles and whatever cool relief they can find to combat the endless sizzling hot summer nights without electricity that will surely begin if and when Baha Mar starts consuming New Providence's very limited and already overburdened supply of electricity.

This is a classic example of Sean McWeeney's intellectual dishonesty in the run up to a general election. Here we see him attempting to allay the public's justified concerns about the number of cases that have fallen victim to a 'convenient' motion of nolle prosequi under the Christie-led PLP government. There are very few people in our country today whose intellectual dishonesty rises to the level of Sean's in terms of the harm it has caused our society.

I personally believe Sean McWeeney's mind was poisoned very early on in life (probably in his more formative teen years) as a result of twisted interpretations of teachings and readings in subjects like philosopy and political science. It’s quite obvious he has devoted much time to reading and thinking about the development of hierarchical structures within a society, and the means by which lower (less educated) classes can be more easily manipulated for self gain by a ruling or elitist political class. The core of his warped thinking may have been born out of some kind of insecurity or identity complex arising from his own mixed heritage; his father was a white man and mother a black woman.

In any event, Sean McWeeney's background and views of the world were ideally suited to reinforcing L. O. Pindling's position that there are only two classes of Bahamian that matter; (1) the less educated and more economically vulnerable voting class, and (2) the much better educated and more prosperous ruling class of political elites. Together LOP and Sean embraced racism as the key tool for manipulating the voting class. That same mindset can be seen to this day in Pindling's successor, Pericles Christie. It's therefore no small wonder that Christie has declared his re-naming of the proposed new 'gerrymandered' Freetown constituency in recognition of the ancestral (slavery) history of the voters.

Sean McWeeney, like Christie, is one of those political dinosaurs that hopefully will become extinct after the next general election.

t's well known that Brent and Craig Symonette have never been the brightest crayons produced by Pop. These two brothers are all about themselves and their struggles to maintain the nest eggs they inherited. It was their older half brother Robert (Bobby) who inherited all of Pop's smarts in dealing with people and building businesses. The other two (Brent and Craig) were always high society Mommy's boys and they certainly lived in the shadow of Bobby while he was alive. In short, don't ever expect much from Brent or Craig - they just never will have much to give because they are so focused on taking!
