like i said in a,previous post, we dont have any enemies and even if we did, we are too small to counter any aggression... so, what do you think could possibly be the purpose of these items?

Socrates says...

i agree with Miller.. people didn't vote as much for the FNM as they voted in protest against the PLP. arrogant Fred, corrupt Shane, corrupt and arrogant Jerome, snobby Alison, corrupt and arrogant Alfred, all are responsible. of course, weak Perry who didnt have the backbone and wilpower to fire the corrupt and who ran a govt of secrecy.. what a miserable bunch.. this incoming group we have to waych too like questionable Michael Pintard, Mackay in Eleuthera, D'Aguilar.. maybe others .. no time to relax i'm afraid..

Socrates says...

sounds like the govt is equipping themselves for that inevitable day when they need to use this kind of gear on us.. after all, who else will they use it on? these guys look dumb, but thats just a ploy to throw you all off track... they know exactly what the plan is...

Socrates says...

anytime you succumb to blackmail and give hand over fist what you dont have in the first place, unions are bound to love you... but fear not, the chickens always come home to roost and we will all pay the price in due time for writing cheques the Treasury cant honour...

Socrates says...

Big government my friends.. this will continue the financial ruin of this country which by all evidence is already an absolute success... one of the few successes of the government...

Socrates says...

Dr. Nottage has been around and made a great contribution to the medical profession in this country. i dont give a sh#t about his politics but i do feel sympathetic about his plight as a bahamian. i hope he gets well and if he has issues, i hope he doesn't let politics take him to his grave.. he is bigger than that IMHO...

Socrates says...

another worthless, meaningless requirement.. very appropriate for such a corrupt country like ours..

Socrates says...

we need to have some national pride. i say, f*#k 'em. lets fold up the offshore banking if thats what they want.. everything should not be negotiable. people can find other jobs at bahamar. in any event, the way its been going with these banks, the days are numbered for those jobs anyway .. u agree to this and they will cone witg sonething else.. never mind what you call it, its still blackmail..

Socrates says...

it should make any nationalist bristle at the notion that an outside agency will dictate the tax structure of a sovereign nation. its blackmail with the black listing threat. those colonialists cant let go of the past..

Socrates says...

well i guess Save the Bays may not be the only foreign entity finding local politics. secondly, if the $$$ were to benefit programs in his constituency, why pau into a overseas account? Thirdly, isn't it illegal for bahamians to have accounts overseas? just curious about these things.. in any case, there is no doubt, as the US Embassy has reported, we clearly have a very corrupt government and system..
