I have always admired a quote by Bertrand Russell which states; "If a thing is worth doing, then it is worth doing badly." Russell, along with one of my past relations, was a founder member of the Fabian Society.
Why does this Strachan person always have a pro-plp, anti-fnm comment to share. Is he really a plp-paid operative? The Tribune is the only one who really knows the truth. And the owner of the Tribune confessed to a desire to represent the plp as a candidate, so any refute may be suspect.
Sadly IMO the letter writer has lost most all the credibility that he gained through his position as head of The Bahamas Natural Trust. Is he for sale now to to the highest bidder? Time will tell....Sigh...
This is sad. In other countries uber @ lyft provided an opportunity to every one to gain an income stream; in this country the administration seems to determined to offer this only to the already privileged holders of a taxi license given usually only for political patronage, Just another huge mistake that will resonate negatively for decades to come. Sigh......
Well, Jobblow, your comment is both baseless and spurious. You have no way of knowing the degree of empathy displayed by Symonette towards the victim of this tragic murder. But, hey, don't let facts cloud your empty expressed opinions.
Over the years people in positions of authority have repeated the old saying; "It is just one bad apple." This demonstrates a degree of ignorance. The complete saying is; " One bad apple will spoil the whole barrel." Back in the day the apples were harvested in the autumn and stored for later use in barrels. If one rotting apple was inadvertently included then the rot would spread from the one apple to infect the whole barrel. Just saying.......sigh.
We system in place that was created by sycophantic elected plp politicians designed to give retiring prime minister Pindling a very comfortable retirement. The very large pension awarded to a retiring prime minister is only earned after two terms. This creates an incentive for one term prime ministers to strive mightily to gain a second term. The pension is also paid to the surviving spouse so Pindling's pension is still being paid by the taxpayer even so long after his death.
Who remembers plp mp obie wilchcombe going to T@C to attend his "cousins" wedding to some movir starlet? This was before the Johm Travolta disgusting debacle, or his infamous text from the jry room. These plp's somit else, I tell you.
The writer says; "The concerned and honourable medical and pharmaceutical fraternity,". It should also be noted that this fraternity is extremely lucrative, those involved are very much invested in protecting their exclusive franchise. This is the basis I suspect of their opposition to anyone else but themselves having control of dispensing medical marijuana.
