Oh Dr Sands, you poor soul, you know the good Christian people of the church ga probably sharpen one Jesus cross to be like a vampire stake and drive it thru ya heart.

Bahamians (being Christians) do not have sex, and neither do their well behaved, God fearing, saintly offspring. (Although, i'm not sure if "offspring" applies to test-tube babies).

I support the comment above by happyfly and believe it is quite possible.

Also i say ...

The article says "The Minnis administration requested from all sectors, during industry-to-industry consultations earlier this year, such positions on what the Bahamas cannot afford to concede in negotiating its WTO accession..."

so what the hell is the wto conceding? what do we get?

The ability to export lobster and salt? We're doing that now and who don't want to buy it can go scratch.

This is likely a big rush for the foreign oil and sand thieves to come in here and tief our oil and sand and be able to sell it in the EU. Lookup "global sand shortage" - a report was just on wn dot com this week.

Here is an analogy. There is a guy who hangs around the park benches in my neighborhood. Recently i have demanded of my wife and kids to tell me what they are willing to give up ("concede") when he moves into our home. Some ideas are the living room couch - he could sleep on. But that may interfere with family movie night. My daughter is considering giving him her hairbrush and some other styling supplies and she could buy new ones. So far though she doesnt know how she will buy new because no summer jobs have come thru for her. We've even considered killing and cooking our family dog. A Chinese neighbor just two houses down has offered to teach us how to do it. This will help with the food supply now having an extra mouth to feed in the house. We could also offer him the use of my wife's car and i could take her to and pick her up from work.

Some of you may be wondering why we are bringing this man into our home. What is he going to do for us or how otherwise it may benefit us?

don't ask!!!!! You sound just like a stupid Bahamian asking how WTO membership will benefit Bahamians. Don't be stupid asking dumb questions!!!!! Just let the man in ya house and shut up - and sign them damn WTO forms while you're at it.

"...We're waiting on the Government to do their Traffic Analysis, and then we'll get cracking."

"When I came back on Monday we were in the final stages of closing the financials. I signed them yesterday [Wednesday], and the directors approved them today [Thursday]. They’re going to be filed [today].”

What a wonderful and very opportune coincidence of timing. Reminds me of the old Mr. Magoo cartoon. :-)

Years ago we used to have human policemen in the fancy white hats and uniforms directing traffic at various intersections (trafficking).

But over the last 30 years human trafficking has declined sharply, now being done mainly by electronic traffic lights.

The lessons are:

1. Your parents brought you to life for no particularly good reason, other that it was a full moon night;

2. You have nowhere to live that is your own, you must live with your parents, pay mortgage to a bank, or pay rent to a landlord - otherwise live on the street and be subject to vagrancy charges by the police;

3. You have no food, clothing, health care, or anything else, unless you "work" for it;

4. You can die or get some terrible disease or be crippled in an accident at any time without warning;

5. You too might incur the effects of a full moon night, and have children who may be born with some terrible disease or be missing limbs, or have childhood cancer or early onset diabetes, or be blind, of deaf (sorry, nobody is deaf anymore, I meant to say "hearing impaired");

Basically, you're on your own Jack.

He did not break any rules. He agrees that the rules mean that Dr. Minnis had to fire him - and he accepted that. He is not asking to be reinstated to his position. He is suggesting to the Bahamian people that they consider a change of the rules so that their "representatives" actually be able to represent them instead of having to be a bunch of suck-ups.

He is correct. The Westminster system needs adjusting. Our Constitution needs adjusting.

We've had a Commission on that for several years in the early 2000's. They came up with dozens of potential amendments. It was made up of very wise and seasoned persons.

However, every time Govt has brought through a referendum to change our Constitution they INSIST on including several STUPID amendments to get everyone upset - instead of dealing with the obvious no-brainer stuff like an elected Senate, term limits for PM, recall procedure for MPs, reducing our elections from 5 years to 3 years - etc.

It is a plan to ensure that everyone is upset and therefore there be no change. The cigar room at the House of Parliament is a comfy cool A/C place - nobody there wanna mess with dat.
