(rolling over with side-busting laughter) You might be right, and as much as I feel that the PLP is on the left of competency and good governance, for the sake of this country I hope that my fears are wrong.

Nooo, he resigned as leader of the party BEFORE the '02 elections

Reason One on why a physician can not and should not be Min. of National Security. Oh, the humanity!

No, it is a Regressive form of taxation--meaning the tax burden is passed on the consumer as the profit margin of businesses Increases

That is exactly what they are Terrorists. And they must be stopped

An Anti-Terrorist Law is what we need. Repeat offenders for violent crime and/or involved in weapon trade or illegal arm use should be deemed a terrorist. The ATL should read: Anyone who, through an act of criminal violence, causes the death of, or inflicts harm be it physical, mental or emotional to any person within the territory of The Bahamas, or damage to physical property, or supplying or cause to supply, illegal weapons and its instruments, and through his/her actions has a history of recurrent, repeated offenses of similar or more eggregious actions contrary to the Law, shall be deemed a Menace and Threat to ALL civil society and therefore, through his/her own actions be known as a Terrorist and as such, will be viewed as An Enemy To The State Of The Bahamas, and will cause to be put into effect every means necessary to the Keepers of The Peace and Defenders of The Law, to rid such person, without inpedence and/or interference from existing Law, from this Land. ANY discussion be it public/private of this Law will be deemed given aid and abettment to Terrorist and will be subject to penalty by the courts.

We are in a War against Criminals. We NEED to CLAIM our country back. PEACE is an ACT of The WILL, not mantra

I agree with you. The "local flavor" will always favor the privileged. People who find themselves in lower economic and therefore, less influential position, will be victims, maligned by Justice and punished by the Law misused by jurists...Wait, it's happening now!

Our social problems notwithstanding, are morphing into something deadly. I doubt very seriously that the right way to go about it is to look to government, legislators, ministers of religion, teachers (within the context of the Bahamian experience). Social problems are best dealth with by sociologists, psychologists, psychiatrists historians--experts in their fields. Thinkers. My greatest disappointment in our progress, is how we have not embraced much of the good first-world education affords. Yet still we rely on the same broke-down, leaky boat to get us to 21st century shoreline in the form of religion, marches, politicians, and god-awful, insipid teachers talking down to all and their lives are no better than ours. We need to respect experts and knowledge and use the good from them to further this country along. Education is a tool and can be misused in the wrong hands. There is right way for things to be done, and then there is history. Values can be taught again. Socialization is still possible. Christian values are key to good socialization which is separate and apart from religion.

Not all Homicide is Murder, but ALL murders are Homicide. The problem we have in the execution of capital punishment is that we have not clearly defined what murder is and further what category of homicide is murder and what murder should be punishable by penalty of Death
