Sigh ... why must I be the one to catch your number lies? Just like when you said there were 437 marchers at the first march. Now you say that the birthrate has declined by 50%. Why do you do that? Do you have the PLP lying gene?
As you can see, the birth rate in the Bahamas has indeed declined .. but by 50%? It has gone down from 19.54 per thousand to 15.65 (latest figures). Hardly 50%.
And how does that compare to Nordic countries? Actually birthrate is declining around the world. (I figure that fertility is decreased by the chemicals in the plastic of a bag of bread). But really, our birthrate is Wayyyyy too high, compared to Denmark:
So the arch-thingie is right. Too much copulation results in too much population. And never trust a number that Tal quotes -- or any PLP for that matter.
Sometimes the only joy in life, especially in the Bahamas, is the act of reproduction. Like the Bahamas, it is a messy, unsanitary act and it involves loud and unnecessary appeals to a deity. However, in the end (no euphemism intended in spite of extreme temptation to mock PLP practices), it is highly pleasurably. Unfortunately, babies are not prevented enough, when one endeavours to pleasure the nether regions.
Ahhh, what about Rudy King, Robert Vesco, The Pirate of Prague Viktor Kozeny? The list goes on and on of who the Bahamas will not extradite .... including minor Bahamian figures that the US has requested the presence of ...
It was 2007 -- Almost 10 years ago. I was tired of taking breakfast at Sailor's Choice on East Bay Street at the marina where the jetski boyz launched. Ole Gorman and his cronies were occupying the place, pontificating loudly, eating boil fish and grits. I took the water taxi across to Hurricane Hole Marina, and had a wonderful breakfast at the News Cafe opposite. There used to be a Solomon's there and the cafe was the last operating business before Sol turned it into a parking lot. The breakfasts were fabulous.
I then walked across the street back to Hurricane Hole to wait for the water taxi. A woman shows up in an official shirt with "flowers" embroidered on it. She has a hand-held mobile device with an antenna and printer. She had this little stall at Hurricane Hole under the walkway. All of a sudden, a group of construction yardies show up, handing her money. The proffered various amount ranging from a quarter to several dollars. When I heard one say "Box dem", I knew that it was the numbers game. Everyone who gave the gal money got their chit -- printed on her small handheld mobile device.
The sophistication, ingenuity and level of investment in advanced mobile technology that worked across the harbour, when you couldn't get get a solid internet connection along the seven hotspots on Bay Street, was amazing. It blew me away.
The sophistication of the mobile devices at this point of time was one thing, but what really got me, was the ability to sell and payout fractional amounts on a bet of a series of numbers. It was a hell of a technological feat to write the software to do fractional bets from a mobile device, and yet it was done.
Later I learned that the technological ingenuity was provided by the udder-side-of-da-blanket son of the then Attorney General who sweethearted the numbers king years ago and got big-up in the deal. Y'all know who I'm talking about.
So when someone says that the numbers game is simple, the concept is. However the technical architecture, scalability and the complex platform and mobile devices were revolutionary for the time, and enabled them to rake in millions with just a bit of technology innovation. If only the damn government would do the same thing we would be going places, but dems PLP is all monkeys who just know how to pocket coins that don't belong to dem.
In the same fashion, I asked a Chinese banker why they tolerated a Communistic government. He said that they like strong leaders and "guidance' from the government. When I pointed out that what he called "guidance" was a personal restriction, he just shrugged his shoulders to say - you see it your way and I see it mine.
It is true that you will be old and gray before change happens. I posit that we will all be dead before we get to real change.
