Her history of Columbus is wrong except for where it is narrow. The 1492 worldview, of which The Bahamas is an important epic in time, in the broader view world trade went on across the Mediterranean Sea where white women were sold to blacks during female slave trade. The rulers and rich merchants would pay any price for a safe land route from Asia to Europe with gems from historical crossroad of India. Columbus' historical local revisionism blames him for African slavery to the world. The Portuguese in 1526 began the world's first African slave crossing to Brazil. But the Portuguese always knew of The Bahama Islands as a place of shallow waters that wreaked ships as they traded with natives from Brazil long before Columbus. African slavery to Haiti for its sugar cane began years after Columbus death. Some political figure just wants to steal his pedestal just wait and see.

As with the Baha Mar ownership fiasco we will have to wait for USA court proceedings to hear the secret deals of questionabke persons placed in questionable positions. Bahamians are never fooled. Time tells it all.

The system has 85% homes ran by single mothers with sons. These sons grow up to hate females and act out anger like their parent. Why is it that 85% of our women hate what marriage represents in the house if God. They want to set a greater agenda than God by bring rape into the marrital bed. As long as sex workers get legal status along but it really dies not matter because all a husband needs to do is say yes to so so many lonely women just looking for honesty and companionship. I go with Anglican Bishop Boyd view that a married responsible and caring home should never get to the point of sexual neglect.

The Bahamas has about zero carbon footprint and is listed as top clean air in many international studies @porcupine. We are falsely crying though having destroyed then developed on every bit of low land in the South of New Providence. We also destroyed a global shark nursery in Bimini that mothered the world's oceans with sharks. Mothering the oceans with sea food is the purpose of mangroves so as we kill other sea-land-sea breeding habititats we know we are starving ourselves to death then one day have to import all of our seafood. But when the natural high tidal peak comes on home we scream global warming.

Correct on China. Yet it is the leading economy and polluter. So if small island states had followed the mantra and narrative we would have promised to pay for The USA and other industrialized nations climate change disasters caused by us. Maybe they wanted us pay in cash then give us billions in crypto gamble air money dream.

We create our own problems by building on wet lands around the whole of Nassau. There simply is no wet lands remaining as all are occupied my houses. Guess it is too far into the future to see we will have to move to Andros Island. We could ask COP global polluters with the Chinese money to build us a bridge.

The entrenched political lens is a hindrance to National development and has held back even the professional potential of UB initiated programs. Pontificating works with some things but others could help.
