**The main problem in this country is ego. But the only people who can wield ego with consequences, good or bad, are the people in power, i.e. the Minister.**

I was also very happy that the dolphins were rescued. But I also remember my reaction when I watched the video of the rescue, *why is that dolphim thrashing about? It must be so scared*. I know nothing about dolphins or animal rescues, that's just what I thought. When I read Sam Duncombes response to the move yesterday I saw her vocalize that thought, she said basically, "*why put them through that stress? Our plan was to stabilize them where they were giving them adequate medical, food and water supplies while looking for a place to hold them permanently*", ... and that permanent place could have very turned out to be Atlantis.. or not. It makes sense to me that the move under any circumstances would be stressful, but a healthy animal would likely handle stress better than a near starved one. So why take the risk?

**The only difference I see between what Sam Duncombe suggested and the action the Minister spearheaded is that Mrs Duncombe advised stabilizing the dolphins before moving them. Seems like good advice, ignored once again, cause Minister knows best**

So the canary was singing when COVID started. There were internationally published reports of the coming rise in mental health and domestic violence incidents. I know Mrs Seymour means well but I often wonder what politicians actually do to prepare for public life. I know the answer, they dont, the general sentiment is you start working after you get sworn in, at least it's pretty clear that's what theyve been doing to date. If you want to be an MP please familiarize yourself with the issues the country is facing in general, the laws governing the issues of the day, your suggestions for improving those laws and the enforcement.

It's in the mind. You cant build a railing long enough or high enough. Transform the mind.

No idea what happened here but 3/4 suicides attempted suicides in 2 weeks for the Bahamas is a national crisis.

Its only through grace that any of us retain a strong mind. If life were to really throw the kitchen sink at us not many could battle and win. But I often wonder if these rash of suicides are the result of unrealistic expectations. Life is hard. It is a battle. I think our parents understood that because they didnt have Facebook and Instagram and tiktok, all they knew was they had to work. I get the sense that young people believe they should live the life of Riley or everything is useless, and really what we're here to do is build a work. There's nothing more fulfilling than executing good work, we're here to do a work. Do your best and dont believe the facebook filters they're the devil

The Bahamas will not forget him.

"***We’re not that stupid***. *We’ve said from the first utterances out of my mouth that we wanted to make sure those animals are OK. **Was it necessary to move them? It’s such a PR spectacle**. It looks like they are the good guys. It is **just a monumentally insane situation that they went and man-handled those animals to get them over to Atlantis** and make it look like a big rescue operation.*"

"*. A flyer advertising the meetings, which has been seen by this newspaper, says it is targeted at communities such as Stapledon, Rock Crusher and Dolphin Drive.*"

Is this new hospital for the entire country or will they be creating new hospitals 3 subdivisions at a time. I'm still confused at the limited services. We need a new hospital for **everything** PMH needs to be condemned and the other hospital is too expensive for the majority of the populace

Why is this govt rushing everything? Why does someone have to lift a disabled person up 3 flights of steps at the **newly** designed stadium? Please stop ramming these projects through and think. Please. You like Renward Wells may one day require nonexistent overlooked services at the new hospital

Doesnt matter. The store just opened meaning these people just got a job and the first thing they think to do is steal? Betting they have a long line of thefts behind them. I'm not sure what the correct punishment is, if you post one of those these people are serial thieves and shouldnt be employed anywhere then they have a story that they cant find a job. Maybe that's why those fundamentalist countries cut off hands as punishment for stealing. But these guys here I'm certain theyd start exercising their toes.

Shortsighted. There are 10 children being born everyday to replace each deceased gang member. Have you noticed we're down to 15 year olds now? War torn African countries are down to 9 and 10 year olds. Carrying weapons. Theres one kingpin outliving them all with an endless source of capital to continue his control of govt officials, police, immigration, defence force, customs, govt ministries... and growth of his corrupt empire. As he gives speeches to refined gatherings.

The next thing the auditor general has to probe is that 25m airport deal and all the beneficiaries inside and outside govt. Maybr use interpol for secreted intl bank accounts.

Why do so many people **have** to use marijuana? Cant they stop seeing that it's currently illegal?
