until the PLP got into power the country had a murder rate close to zero. Over the past half century or so since then the murder rate has increased every year. We now have one of the highest per capita murder rates of any country in the world. What was the pre-PLP government governments doing right that stopped murders from happening? Was it the entitlement mentality that caused the change to murderous, that was sold to the voters, you will no longer have to work once you vote for me? Or was that the country cut most ties with the UK, a country long known for politeness and civilized behavior? Perhaps the change is simply due to the modern junk food diet that most people now eat, junk in; junk out.

What a storm in a teacup. The courts cannot be held in any lower esteem than most people who have had the misfortune to have to visit them already hold them. A little qwerking would actually have brightened up the procedures last time I had to appear in the Traffic Court.

Belinda Wilson was only a teacher of Physical Education during her career which I do not think even has exams so I doubt that she would have much sage advice to offer even if the MOE had consulted her.

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.

When someone says. "Don't Panic.", Then that is when I think it is time to be concerned, not panicking, but certainly being concerned.

This is just almost comically unnecessary. This AG is a disaster,

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.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?

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?
