Again, sincere condolences to his friends and loved ones, love doesnt care about much other than the individual is lost forever.

Everyone who passes leaves a giant hole in someone's world, but I have often wondered what the history books would write of our representatives, namely, "*they were the **first*" and "*they served **forever***", leaving our children with no idea of who these people really were, the impact they had on the country positive or negative and how individuals really get the opportunity to serve.

"*Why does it matter how you made your money*" - George Smith

Before 2021 and between 2017 and 2021for example, I often pondered this question about Lanisha Rolle among others, what would history say? Leaving our children to hear that she was the "**first**" female minister of sports.. an example of what young girls could achieve, no mention of Jack and Jill, no mention of marital rape as a *private matter*, no mention of self aggrandizing awards medals, no mention of junkanoo controversy, no mention of sports teams left high and dry, no mention of alledged demand that employees stand when she entered the room, no mention of the side lining of a truly extraordinary example of female achievement, Marion Bethel

We decry the white man's rewriting of history, but when we get the chance what do we do?... This again makes me wary of local govt as our cure all, cuz we still us.

The jetskis at Montagu pull right up to the shoreline. Its simply unbelievable. Theyll wait until someone gets killed, seriously injured or raped and then the Tourism Minister will talk about all the checks theyre putting in place to monitor the industry for the fourth time is it now?

it will be interesting if tourists dont go further than the port and walk away saying how wonderful the bahamas was. Lol. But I suppose good news is good news.

This view makes it look like an organized Arawak Cay. Dont have to go there anymore! I recall a foreign visitor who came for a work assignment telling me theyd driven to Village Road(?) I said what were you doing all the way there??? They went looking for Menchies.

This is what I envisioned a reorganized PI bridge to look like. Saw something in Barbados that looked like it, beautiful shacks organized around a cultural area. But our govt seems content to let anybody and everybody erect a bunch of ramshackle shacks anywhere these days. Its started at Montagu, it's flourishing on carmichael, quite a number on Prince Charles...

I recall in Minnis' term they updated the emergency powers act to allow them to seize ANY private property in the interest of national security. Literally anything. If they want your icecream they could take it by law. The length of time something been in law, for these administrations who pass anything and where the Senate exercises zero oversight, should be the last thing these guys hang their hat in.

"*Ministry of Finance's top official yesterday said insurers are "over reacting" to the consultation on holding a "minimum" 50 percent of their investments in government securities as he refuted fears it is "desperate for funds".*

Seems precisely like desperation.

It seems very weird to mandate to a hedge fund what they can invest in...

There should be a law against any sitting MP, PS diplomat or their families to have any beneficial interest in any foreign direct investment project. Its impossible for it not to be a conflict of interest.

I listened all the euphoria over trade with Ghana. And as I listened I heard was people looking to set up deals for themselves. The ambassador (I could have the title wrong) at one point said that people could reach him at the Palm Tree Restaurant, then when someone suggested a Palm Tree in Ghana he happily said we're already working on that. It was strange. It appeared to me as if the access granted by the post was used to negotiate deals for personal enrichment. First. The entire interview had that feel.

Added to that the emphasis seemed to be on support Ghana's entrepreneurs. That was weird too. But I suppose even if all you end up doing is importing and not trading in the true sense if you get better goods at lower prices the society gains.

So I give you the right to your opinion. I just happen to disagree I think he is where he is based on merit

Did you read the account of the woman who was granted a divorce about 3months ago? That lady laid out such a case it was clear she'd removed herself from the act. She ended up with severe pschological damage having to endure being forced to comply with a sex act she didnt want and her husband **had** to know she didnt want. Verbal accounts of encounters can provide riveting testimony of what happened to an individual.
