So, aeamadam, you write: "Eighty some million people can't be that stupid.". And I must ask you; how many people do you think voted for the corporal with the little mustache in 1934? Just so, more than half of the eligible voters of that country. Stupidity is not a comforting metric to assess anything by.
OK, As a nominally responsible Bahamian citizen I must confess that I have avoided for decades my civil duty to serve on a trial jury. The reasons are as follows; 1)the payment for serving is nothing short of an insult, 2) the judiciary system is historically corrupt, 3) If if found and I later meet the convicted out on bail for am appeal of his sentence then I be dead. 3) the meals are just awful, 4) my business would fail if I was absent for a 10 week trial, 5) The gubmint really don't care 'cos a defense lawyer who made millions of dollars off the system as it is, in now in charge, and he sure has no incentive to change anything; particularly as he will never be called to serve on Jury Duty.....
Why not have 73 new public holidays; one for each of the PLP's elected with a declaration of owning less than $100,000 but left office owning several millions of dollars?
When the decision was made that the SOE BEC should sell their product at a price that was less than it cost the corporation to produce we should never forget that PLP Perry Christie was not only Prime Minister but also the Minister of Finance. It would be foolish to believe that this ill-advised decision can be laid at the feet of any other individual. Just another piece of stupidity in a lifetime of the same. Anyway, at least now he has the job of fixing the problems in Haiti so that will be sorted in short order.........not.
The problem here, Biurdie, is that your FACTS are just not true; and writing them in all caps like a well known US politician does not make them any more true..
Most regular posters on this site now know that "BirdieStrachan: is actually the nom-de-plume of a PLP politician currently out of elected office but who is famed as a committed bachelor.
