Bran will never do the right thing. He took the gifts of Loretta Butler Turner as a appointment to the Senate and then threw her under the bus. Of course, she may have deserved it because she lied on at least two occasions about forming an alliance with the DNA.

However, the reason why Bran will never join the FNM again is because of ego. As a member of the FNM he would again be a small fish in a big pond, and he likes being the big fish in a small pond. Quite frankly, Bran doesn't have the maturity, gravitas, intellectual capability and governance acumen to do anything else but continuously and forever lead the third party. It is the acme of his ability to attain achievement and he knows it. His current position as the leader of the DNA gives him the highest possible soap box to stand on, that he is capable of achieving. He is incapable of seeing the finer, more granular points of patriotism by sublimating his ego and "doing the right thing", as this letter-writer puts it.

Crisco Butt is even lower on the scale of gravitas, maturity and intellect, but he has the backing of a criminal band of thugs who keep him in power so that they can rape the treasury and fleece any investor that comes along. To his credit, I don't think that Bran is capable of thuggery on the scale that we see in the criminal PLP.

On Branville will do the right thing

I have to laugh at the taxes being levied online for rooms at Baha Mar. On top of the room rate there is a bed tax, a Cable Beach Tax and a Nassau-Paradise Island Promotion Board Tax. WTF? Are they deliberately trying to sabotage their success? We are already one of the most expensive jurisdictions in the Caribbean and we have this BS? Where are the monies going?

I'm willing to bet that there will be staff cuts because they won't be able to fill the rooms.

The continents broke up 175 million years ago. The creationists say that the earth is no more than 4,000 years old. You can't have a foot in both camps. Either you believe in continental drift over millions of years, or you believe that the earth was made as it is.

It still doesn't explain the kangaroos, platypuses and unicorns, or how they fit in all 8.7 million animal species into a little ark?

I would have loved to have seen Noah sailing to Australia to catch the kangaroos. Then he would have to go to China and get a couple of Pandas, and enough eucalyptus to last 40 days and 40 nights. The Siberian Tigers would have been a challenge. And the unicorns that are mentioned in the Bible -- what happened to them. The dinosaurs would have been interesting as well.

Most rational people know that the Book of Revelations was a veiled attack against the Roman Emperor Nero. You know that right? The reason that it is veiled is because if it wasn't, you got a date with the lions in the Colosseum.

The religionists have been saying that for 1000 years. You aren't by a chance a Millerite are you? (A Seventh Day Adventist). They are always saying the earth is going to end a year from now.

Took me awhile to find it. It is just a website. Paid $188,000 to a bunch of Belgians for something that would have cost $10,000 here.

It's not even a fast website. If you take a look at other trade portals, you can see this is a Mickey Mouse outfit. Missing major elements of trade portals.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's? For all you Bibliophiles out there, it means separation of Church and State.
