Zags, The Bahamas has never quite graduated from so-called Third World status. Unfortunately there are two sides to this ; first how we "Fellow Bahamians" perceive ourselves and secondly how we are perceived, individually, and collectively by the outside world, most especially by the peoples and governments of the so-called First World.
As a Nation we probably have equal measures of bursting National Pride and low self esteem, but when our "front men and women" in Government act in a childish and xenophobic manner, we groan, say WTF and our pride in our country evaporates. That's how I feel now!
As far as First World peoples and Governments are concerned they probably chuckle, and say "guess what these dumb asses in The Bahamas have done now,," confirming THEIR opinion of us as being really Third World!!
