It is sad.. almost 40 killings in 3 months that 'We' the public are aware of at this time. God only knows how many others are not being reported to us.

Thanks 'birdie' for clarifying, because these guys have been saying a lot of crap these days.

Like I said before.. What a tool! lol

I see that YOU are in fact the TRUE reason this country is where it is today! You obviously can't decipher the fundamental moral attitude necessary of what a leader is or embodies. This is why our house of assembly has become a laughing stock and resembles a primary school playground! They parade around like they're so sharp (politicians) when they are dumb as hell and clueless to the fact that Bahamians are on to them.

Take a seat!!!

lol.. Don't do it!

"...thanks to the exorbitant cost overruns our government has incurred in the rebuilding and upgrading of Nassau International Airport (NAI)."

You're correct! Just as the last airport built, I see this newly constructed one and it's upcoming pitfalls. We seem blinded to the fact that most of the buildings designed in this country are firstly, unkept and not efficient or equipped for future expansion. Every time some new money (investor) comes in.. or there is a dramatic shift in the economy it appears these structures can never go the distance. Always starting from scratch! Why? Can't we get things right the first time, and 'add on' when necessary?

This ga' be long!

Don't they always?? Even if they gave 'two' months notice folks would still be blind sided by the news especially if they've come to depend on it as a main source of income.

I hear yah! lol ; )

To add.. McCartney needs to stop being a tool!

Good Day All!

I agree with you 'birdiestrachan'. I am impartial to all parties; and I'd have to say that I was disappointed by his approach to set the record straight. These were students that he was responsible of molding in the best possible sense of the word. In life, there will always be nay-sayers opposing you. Christie is no different and because of his position in life should always strive to take the high road. Unfortunately, at the time he displayed a lack of ethics and forethought with his words, and how it would be a positive impact in their minds. Instead he resorted to stooping to his opposition's (Media) level by lambasting them and making a point to those parties that were not even affiliated or involved. A good leader empowers not by bringing across his own innuendo but is proactive by showing the youngsters a better avenue/path to take than their predecessors. To teach them the true responsibility of their chosen field which requires integrity and a unbiased professionalism for delivering the facts to the public which is 'true' journalism. Not him, he made it about himself!

The last ounce of respect I had for him as a man (apart from a leader) was lost when I read his approach to this. I expect a lot from the person who leads me and my countrymen; and this to me is unacceptable!
