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.
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.
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.
I believe it was 8 injured persons sent to the hospital including children and in the photo is a propane gas truck and demolished debris from the explosion.
Looking forward at the handling and use of the Liquid Propane, there must be essential safety measures like highly trained and qualified personnel to be handling this extremely explosive LPG gas.
Currently the LPG container trucks on Nassau streets seem to have no training or certification in driving these Propane Gas trucks and some seem to have only the experience of driving the Jitney buses and racing on the streets to sell and refill propane tanks in the quickest time to the most customers for the most sales.
Oftentimes one can see the greed for a few dollars to refill can see the lack of commonsense by parking the truck at intersections and dangerous spots placing entire neighbourhoods in danger and accidents happening in fractions of seconds at the flash point for explosion.
Some of these Propane Truck employees young and old seem not to be fully trained and educated in the handling of the propane and the equipment in dispensing the propane product.
Dealing with the handling with LPG needs to have fully certified employees and the danger of propane explosions can be dangerous not only to the employee but to entire neighbourhoods.

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.

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.
