Not living in the Bahamas I'm probably just uninformed, but a calendar of events would be great. I read about it in the paper, but it's last minute. Most of us have to arrange vacation time with our employers. Maybe it's at the same time every year. I really don't know. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would come if we had more information.

Your right! It was on the Today Show NBC this morning. Showed the whole disaster down to the dinner box with salad, bread and cheese. They told the high cost the tourists had paid. They showed tents for housing and the to go box with the bread, salad and cheese. It was aired in United States on a Saturday morning when most of us are home. Not good publicity.

That smug look in his eyes. Is that my imagination. It's like a kid that just got away with something.

Maybe it was a bad choice of words to be objective. If he had said, With God at my side I can't be stopped now. Or maybe, The Good Lord Willing I can't be stopped now. You get where I'm going. It just my opinion.

lol

That scares me! Do you remember the line in the Titanic, "Even God can't sink this ship," on it's maiden voyage she sunk with some of the richest powerful people at that time. The loss of life was enormous. Their confidence and arrogance took a lot of lives. I don't think God is a evil in anyway, but sometimes he may have to humble some people to remind them where they are on the spectrum. I would ask God to help me in this election, and ask him to lead me to make decisions to help the Bahamian people as they deserve. All of our politician should kneel down regularly and pray for guidance in their faith and leadership.

Can a lot of Bahamian's come into Florida for employment. There are a lot of jobs anymore that people do from home. Like medical billing and coding. Yes it takes a little schooling, which I know you can come to the states and receive. That shouldn't be hard at all. There are lots of programs for payment and some of them don't even require repayment. I mentioning this career because this is what I'm going to do. Sometimes you have to go to the office, but Freeport isn't but 63 miles from the states. Most of your work is done on their computers that you take home with you, all you need is internet. And you could still be home if you wanted. There are other jobs too, do some research. Anything is possible. I want to do this so I can live in the Bahamas at least part of the time, but I'm not rich so I have to work like everyone else.

With the lack of employment opportunities these young guys have grown up seeing nice cars, clothes, homes that appear to be out of their reach. Their mom's and dad's are working their butts off to provide for the family. While absent from the home the young boys get mixed up with the wrong crowd. They get a taste of easy money. They experiment with drugs, before they know it they are in over their heads. What they don't see is that this doesn't last long. They are either caught up and killed in drug activity, or get so strung out on drugs that over dose. They are too young to see the outcome of their choices. Look through the obituaries at the ages of people that have pasted away. It's very sad.

I was reading the Tribune sometime in the last year and I was shocked there was two men busted with a large amount of drugs. It stated they were released with a 9000.00 dollar fine each. They both paid it and they were free. This would not happen in the states. They would both be in jail. Money can buy better attorney's, but not your freedom.

The new resort will bring hospitality jobs. The tourists will do excursions and that will add revenue, and of course you'll sell t shirts. True gamblers will come, but all they do is gamble. Families won't come until the crime is reduced. They don't go on holiday to worry about crime. They'll go to Fla. beaches and Disney World.
