A tolerant, soft natured, "consensus maker" cannot last for long as Prime Minister of The Bahamas. What made LOP and HAI so effective was that they were "large and in charge" and neither would have tolerated the childish nonsense we are currently seeing from Cabinet Ministers!! The Prime Minster's statement today basically says, "I can't control my Cabinet members", which is tantamount to saying "I have lost control of my Government."

At this point the honorable thing to do is resign! Don't hold your breath waiting for this to happen, however. Sad to say honor is currently a stranger in our once honorable House of Assembly.

Loose lips sink ships....it it too much to hope for, that loose lips can also sink Governments???? Please!! Pretty Please !!!!

Mr. Mitchell needs to REALLY listen to, and understand the words of "Redemption Song".
This poetic ballad was written at the end of Bob Marley's career in 1980 and quickly became the inspiration for oppressed people all over the World.

Although Marley previously sang about the struggle of black men and women against the racial prejudice that was rampant in the 60's and 70's, "Redemption Song" represents a change in style and content from his previous recordings. Written shortly before his death, this song challenges persons who are struggling against oppression, to "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourself can free our minds".

Instead of railing against the forces of "Babylon" and seeing the struggle of oppressed people as an external struggle against evil forces, he realized, at the end of his life, that "By the hand of the Almighty, we forward in this generation".

In other words, by 1980, he saw that, because of God's power, great changes were taking place in the world and that the most important battle was now an internal one, because although the struggle in the outside world was succeeding, there still remained an internal battle to free ones mind from self doubt and the inferiority complex that racism had created.

Mr. Mitchell should free himself from mental slavery! He lives in The Bahamas in 2015! We have majority rule! There are no longer oppressive white people trying to enslave black Bahamians! Babylon was overthrown a long time ago by the hand of The Almighty ! If you must sing, "sing a song of Freedom", "Redemption songs!"...but also, you must free your mind and thereby let go of your racist baggage!

One last thought: if your racist comments are not truly how you think, but instead are calculated to inflame Bahamian voters, you should be deeply ashamed of yourself! As a leader in this country, your role should be to lift up and enlighten those Bahamians less educated and less aware than you, not to prey on their racial insecurity for the sole purpose of winning votes!

More good sense from Mr. D'Aguilar.

Right there in Baha Mar doing the back stroke in a swimming pool filled with vomit!

As usual, your editorial is insightful. It exposes, once again, the silly and shallow posturing of our present Government. I sincerely hope and pray, that after the next election, our new Government comprises honest, educated, fair-minded and incorruptible Statesmen and Stateswomen who, although patriotic and proud, are secure enough in their own sense of self-worth to welcome overseas investors with respect and gratitude.

Dr. Rollins appears to be more effective in Opposition than the Official Opposition!

Not only psyche tests for members of the House of Assembly but also for all persons who voted PLP or DNA at the last election! This would have to be an extremely easy test; three-way multiple choice; just tick the appropriate box; dumb, dumber and dumbest!

Your Editorial was excellent and the headline hits the nail on the head,

chinafication coming!
