The unvarnished raw truth is that the pool of available Bahamian construction worker willing to work on Guana Cay and live in dormitory accommodation is just too small to get the job done. People might make noise and say that they want a job but the reality is that they would soon quit as the working conditions would not meet their exacting requirements. Any one who disagrees with my statement almost certainly has never undertaken a huge construction job in a very small family island.
This letter writer seems upset that our Bahamaland (sic) is being blamed for the rack epidemic in the US. As far as I can remember a huge amount of cocaine was trans shipped through our country and many Bahamians and government employees got richer from the drug smugglers bribes and payments.. Did not Bimini have huge amounts of US dollars suddenly appearing in the people's bank accounts, as reported in the Dailies at that time? Those US dollars came from somewhere, and it was not from Ponce del Leone's Fountain of Youth.
If a child fears his or her parent because of the threat of physical abuse then that parent has failed. Stop hitting children, in fact stop hitting anybody else unless you are in a boxing ring with a referee there.
No sensible person can simply believe what the policemen tell reporters. This is exactly why every police vehicle should have cameras installed, then we have a slight chance of knowing the truth of what really happened. How many citizens have been killed by the police over the past 25 years? How many policemen have been killed by citizens over the past 35 years? Which is the more dangerous job in this country, policeman or citizen?
Mr. Smith seems to want to give the impression that he has a signed crown lease agreement with the government. He says; "It sends a dangerous message to the international investment community when the government signs a crown land lease only to renege on it six months later." The government did not and has not signed a crown land lease with Mr, Smith. This man appears to be trying to deceive people. I hope that the government do not back down to what is aan attempted land grab of our land for free. The government signed a Memorandum of understanding which is not a lease.
