Under the current system - only Haitians can afford land in the Bahamas. Of course, we all know, that even under a newly strengthened property tax system - they will still pay no taxes for "their" land. Even now they got the FNM fighting to remove VAT on they rice.

The current system is maintained by the old White Knights who strive to maintain the Crown Land in the hands of Her Majesty (our Head of State [see Constitution Article 1, Section 1]) - and prevent the black people from ever truly realizing their dream of independence. You cannot be truly free if your land is still owned by your old masters. crown land. Wow. The very words should put chills down peoples' spines. But like a commenter above said - "Dey dunn yoos to dat."

At the same time, I must commend Dr. Minnis for allowing such a vote to take place. I respect him for that. If only Mr. McCartney would do the same, I believe his stock in the public eye would rise (whether or not he maintains his position). Mr. McCartney could still play a vital role in the DNA.

Of course - it's kind of short notice (13 days) for others to get into the race. The article says nominations will OPEN on the 4th, but does not say when they will CLOSE. In other words, do others have until like the 7th to get their names on the ballots? To decide whether or not they want to run? To get their platforms together and convince others why they should vote for them?

Sounds like a strategy of convincing everyone to hurry up and have to choose the devil you know over the devil you don't.

Child, they dunn tell people about all my moles.

It probably won't matter if they leave know. London is already full of towel-heads.

Perhaps they did not enclose the standard "deposit" with their application form ?

Typical Communist methodology. Any bidder who signs that, would not have enough intelligence to operate a lemonade stand, let alone something as complex as Baha Mar.

These people can see stupid in their rear-view mirror (cause they dunn past dat).

Did they say anything about too much "belly swell" ? I think that is our biggest problem. The refusal of the powers-that-be to allow proper family planning education and programs.

But, what would I know. I'm just a regular Joe. For all I know, baby food could be free.

Do you think it is possible that they just love the headlines? Are they starting the fire themselves just to get their names in the paper?

Perhaps the Tribune's next coverage - of the next fire, should simply read:

landfill fire again
... and we simply refuse to print the details. Same old story. Read the last one
if you're bored.

Sorry to sound like a stuck-record/parrot - but I say again, Govt will not allow FPO to develop until the white people who own the Port agree to sell out. This, of course, is not official policy. However, you can observe the policy in action. After they sell out (and they eventually will), watch how fast the govt red tape is removed.
