Many of us have noted the way so many police persons drive and so will have formed an opinion already as to whether or not the police vehicle was being driven in a safe and sensible manner. How much is the life of this young woman, lost so tragically, worth in monetary terms? 25 million dollars, or more? Add the salaries she would have earned over the next 30 years, add the value of the unpaid work looking after family members, cooking, cleaning, etc., add in the value of the unborn children that she will never bear. Such a tragedy, and so avoidable.

This man mussa have read the auguries, and they are not indicative of success.

I offer my congratulations to , Brigette Dupuch-Knudsen on both her achievement and her choice of altruistic career. The Dupuch family have a long and distinguished historical record of service to the Bahamas ; she continues this tradition. Thank you.

It is reported that in a country less than 50 miles from ours there are 350 million firearms, unregistered and owned by private citizens. Some 5 million or so of those private citizens visit the Bahamas each and every year. Many of them arrive on private vessels. There are many ways by which firearms enter this country. It is unstoppable. Sadly the killings will continue.

For someone who signs his letters as Common Sense, the writer seems rather bereft of that quality. What diaspora is being referred to here? In common modern usage the word refers to people of African heritage who no longer live on the African continent. If this is what the writer is referring to, then good luck with that. Why would anyone want to move to country with one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world and an approaching dysfunctional justice system? If you are wealthy enough to buy an island or live in a protected gated community, then OK, possibly. And just exactly what is this Lucayan culture? Sitting on low carved stools perhaps?

Ride Share apps are brilliant. Most every democratic country has them. Whenever I travel to a developed country they are my first choice. The rides are safer, quicker, and more friendly. The feedback that the riders give after each interaction with a driver means that the rude, dirty, of dangerous drivers can be easily identified and avoided. The Bahamian public and visitors both would benefit greatly if or when introduced. Perhaps the FNM could add it to their new political manifesto, it should gain them a whole lot of undecided voters' support.

Cuban doctors get less pay, .
Than what they earn on a working day.
The Cuban gubmint gets the rest, .
Seems to be a lil’ bit socialist. .
Bahamas gubmint really don’t care, .
Saying this is all just a Cuban affair. .
Then the USA shakes that visa stick, .
FillUp and Fred change mind right quick. .
Free luxury travel at our expense, .
Losing that would make no sense. .
Will blow some whistles and ring some bells,
Saying anything they that jus' might sells. .
Claiming innocence, that they knew nothing, .
Screening smoke while Huff and puffing…… .
Sigh.

So Hey, Fred, FillUp, and Monrow; how you'll feel about bringing back Columbus Day, like the president of our neighbor to the north wanna do...??

The BBC reports today that; "The production of solar panels in China's Xinjiang region has been linked to the alleged exploitation of Uyghur Muslims.". The UK national energy company cannot now use solar panels built with slave labour. Wouldn't it be great if we had an elected government that cared even a little about buying a product built with slave labour.

If the USA law enforcement agencies used "entrapment" then why is that a problem? Why even mention it. Criminals in the USA are convicted in cases that used entrapment frequently. Does anyone remember Delorean and his conviction of conspiracy to transport cocaine?
