Years---and years ---and years ---and years --- illegal shanty towns dis --- and illegal shanty towns dat, --- illegal shanty towns dis --- and illegal shanty towns dat, --- illegal shanty towns dis --- and illegal shanty towns dat. When is this going to end?

Law abiding citizens just tired of paying regressive VAT taxes and seeing all the taxes at the deprivation of their law abiding majority population going towards cleaning up --- and cleaning up --- and cleaning up --- all these illegal shanty town harmful mess.

There must be some law and order in this country and those who are responsible for not keeping the law and order must be fired!

Majority of law abiding population are tired and want their regressive VAT going towards the benefit and betterment of the hospitals, schools and infrastructure in our beloved Bahamaland.

For the population in a land mass defined by christian principles and the rule of law, it is never a a nation for sale. Its not the nation which ain't going no place, its the people.

What it is, is a countable number of individuals whose adverse actions or inactions to christian principles and rule of law are allowed to make it appear so, and for periods of time without corrective actions allowed.

Shouldn't it be that if the Bahamian government was a party, then there should be some fair play on moral grounds be in place?

Some fair play is needed especially when the country does not exist in a vacuum and to a large extent is dependent on foreign investors.

All talk and no do.

Actually, the former FNM Minister of Health did make an effort in banning the suggary soda drinks from the Vending machines in the PMH, but true to form as governments change --- bingo ---the vending machines have suggary sodas again.

Quite likely where there are Vending dispensing machines in any government buildings areas are likely to be suggary sodas in the vending machines.

Whether the taxes are increased, reduced, postponed and at any variation and combination in the present, or near future, or in the past history, has gotten no reduction in the unhealthy people.

The country's Chief Minister of Health has been politicians who have been Medical qualified Doctors for --- decades --- and decades --- and decades --- leading to this disastrous situation. And just look at the increasing numbers of our highly visible fellow Bahamians on the streets in all states of distress needing the most attention who just ain't have no food, those who looking in garbage bins for food and those with mental distress pleading for help.

Heads must roll for the failures in not educating our schoolchildren and being paid taxpayers hard dollars as salaries for doing so.

The massive 30% failures of our little darlings in critical skills does not bode well for the future of our beloved Bahamaland.

" shooting out from the blocks like a rocket', and winning a gold medal! Congratulations!

Keep up the good work Team Bahamas on the world stage. Makes us proud to see our fellow Bahamians on the world stage.

The Ministry have the 100% power to stop any accidents between the vehicle travelling on the road at any speed to FIRST teach the students how to walk on the roads.

It does not matter how many road signs and road devices are planted on the roads unless the students have the ability to use common sense instead of using their boongie bumper against the vehicle metal bumper which always win.
