Well mudda_take_dum you posting d having a most arrogant and nasty PM " means that you were nor around during the evil pingdom when the prime minister called one of his opponents who was dying of cancer, an empty suit of clothes. RIP Carlton Francis. I don't think you can get much more nasty and arrogant than that statement given to the party faithful during the convention on Cable Beach.
Great letter, well written and I agree totally with the sentiments expressed. It is like watching young teenagers playing, the power goes straight to the head.
the honourable minister is out of step with most all Bahamian business owners. Investor Mr. Leigh Rodney is not trying to bully the Bahamian government, rather he is stating the inevitable consequence of this administration's failure to live up to it's election promises regarding the ease of doing business. If it remains as difficult to deal with the government's bureaucratic red tape then Mr. Leigh Rodney will be closing his business down. Simple. Thank you for letting us all know, I for one appreciate it. The Honourable minister should offer a written apology to this valued investor, but perhaps the hubris has set in too far. Sad to see.
It is certainly a complicated discussion. One factor in the poverty wealth dynamic that the columnist failed to mention is the number of children born into a family. If two wage earning parents have only a single child and if they accumulate $100,000 each during their lives then, upon their deaths, the child has $200,000. Enough to buy a house, rent it out and create an income stream. If these same 2 parents have 10 children then each get $20,000 which is a reasonably good car which becomes worthless in about 10 years time. Now repeat over several generations and one family will be rich while the other will be poor although the poor one will have lots and lots of cousins. Sound familiar to anyone? (figures quoted are just arbitrary of course)
if this man understood the Westminster system of governance and if he possessed integrity then he would have no choice but to resign from his political party. Unfortunately for the country this will not happen.

Perhaps the honourable minister of education could consider including first aid classes in 11th or 12th grade.

Licks2 just love to defend the police, I wonder why. These officers should be charged before the courts and if found guilty they should be jailed.
