From the Nassau guardian Aug 20 24
"*The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies the following individuals as high risk but not exclusively: gay, bisexual men who have sex with other men (MSM) or individuals with multiple sexual partners.*"

Every *fact* is not an attack. It can simply be a fact

-

1. An established number of islands and an established number of cays must be free from Big enterprise/development and mass tourism and remain true to island life with full access to all beaches for all Bahamians

2. The high water mark referenced in access to beaches should be abolished. A large part of bahamian culture is enjoying the beauty of beaches while in the shade beyond the high water mark. Noone is allowed to own sand and native vegetation up to 50ft inland from the tree line. This is where we went completely wrong as a country. Giving away our most precious gift from the heavens to wealthy foreign interests who then tell us we cant set foot on "their" beautiful beach

2.The constitution must be amended to place a moratorium on the right to register in the interest of national security as allowed by the constitution. The provision is retroactive to 2014.

3. Planning details for all utilities should be accessible to all Bahamians. The secrecy surrounding the wholesale giveaway of BEC should never happen again and an immediate review should be conducted of the sale and the share offer to determine if it is in the best interest of the Bahamas. Best interest is separate and apart from a positive result. If the country could have saved 10 dollars but the deal was constructed to give Island Grid an excess 9 and the Bahamas 1, that's not best interest. Pike is just a vendor doing what vendors do, work for pay. Wilson simply has the ear of the PM, neither brought any assets into this deal and neither stands to lose anything. In addition, can an executive of the firm facilitating a multimillion share offer be a board member of the company distributing the shares? Maybe, but odd. these questions and others need independent review by an internationally recognized and respected firm.

4.The constitution must be amended to remove sitting MPs charged with serious crimes from active representation in the house until the verdict of not guilty is arrived at. It is a travesty and a national embarrassment for an MP charged with rape by knife and an MP charged with bribery to stand to speak for anyone and reference "*this respectable house*"

5. The constitution and laws must be amended to address ethical breaches. Acceptance of gifts over 100 dollars inclusive of tickets, plane trips, luxury condos, land by investors seeking favour with govt officials should be outlawed and result in seizure of said gifts and a fine of no less than 10,000 dollars. Amounts adjustable upward based on the seriousness of the breech.

6.The judgement on environmental fines can not be a national secret. The use of the term "national security" has to be justified to a panel of independent justices.

7. corruption, infrastructure, education

She shouldnt have blamed the driver. "Leadership"

Paraphrased from a cnn.com article, Trump asked his staff not to have him in photos with disabled veterans because it doesnt make him look good. When he saw a disabled vet singing the national anthem he wanted to know who invited him. John Kelly also said Trump has been untruthful about his stance on right to life and Christianity. In response to prospect of Trump 2024, Kelly concluded "God help us". Another former staff member called a Trump presidency the greatest threat to America in history.

These characterizations are vomit inducing, and these the people who worked with him

There will be the argument from Education that with the new grading scheme, a D isnt a D. Each grade has some meaning signifying the students level of understanding of the material. And that's fine, give everybody a "T", **but** the important thing is, what does a "T" translate to outside the country? Or is a T only to be used in country to tell an employer that while Johnny couldnt add and cant read well, if you give him verbal instructions, he'll be able understand and do the job.

I understand the intent, but I'm not sure that enabling the bottom to look at the bottom in a positive light will make students want to do better

When I heard Hanna Martin's contribution, I honestly thought there was dramatic improvement. But it's TRUE that positive movement is better than negative movement

@it I'm not demonizing gay people. If you recall AIDS at one point was devastating the gay community then it jumped to the heterosexual community. You cant get AIDS by touching someone. The most likely transmission mechanism was bisexual activity.

In regard to mpox, I'm not basing my statement on speculation. The WHO actually said they would drop all language about predominance in gay communities to prevent targeting of those communities.

This never made any sense to me. Never heard of a medical campaign that ignores the source of the infection.

As to a cursory google search, the story was on cnn.con about this virus long before Dr Darville made a statement and it showed a picture of an infected *child*. My first thought was, "*has it already jumped*". Its transmitted through mucus membranes. children rub their eyes, put things in their mouths etc, it makes sense, adults have sex, that also makes sense

Doesn't matter. I mentioned *50 years*. 50 years of using BEC as somebody's private cash wooly mammoth.

The only reason Ramsey was convicted is because the intel came from outside the country. I believe this is the foundation for the resolution of the corruption that runs in this country from top to bottom. International prosecution. Who knew about CCA emails telling Chinese construction workers to "*fake work better*" before the Delaware Bahamar case?. Metayer in Miami triggered the investigation of the police force. Someone sent a financial transactions spreadsheet on FTX to Coindesk. The local police still saying they waiting on evidence to charge Sam with something

Not surprised. With major league cricket started in the US there'll be high school and college divisions and cricket scholarship opportunities to come.

"**Furthermore, *understanding the transmission mode is essential* in establishing effective measures to combat Mpox**"

Which is why its extremely puzzling that all reference to high number of cases among gay males has been removed from all alerts. I suppose they'll wait until its rampant within the heterosexual community via bisexuals or undercover lovers to point this out.
