Is this how a police state starts out? Juden Verboten...

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.

cedric moss always sounds so much like a bigot in his too frequent letters. Religion is the opiate of the people, as Marx famously wrote. The pastors like moss are the ones peddling this belief in an invisible man in the sky that costs money in the collection plate every time you go. This is the true addiction in our society and people are getting fat and rich because of it.

what does your comment mean? Are you condoning any sort of bad behaviour, or even violence? I hope not. I do not describe myself as LBGT but I am thinking of attending just to show support and show that not everyone here is a homophobic bigot. I wiold attend with my spouse and children.

Although the country describes itself as free nonetheless it is not a country free from bigotry and prejudice. Ignorance and hatred have ever gone hand in hand and often those fires are fed by religious and political leaders. I congratulate Ms, Katz on her comment, we need more educated talented citizens like yourself to provide a balance to some of the hatred coming from mouths that should know better,

Het Hippyfly, nicely put but religious people are rarely open to rational arguments. Faith trumps logic every time.

Someone called "Chucky" worrying about someone else's good name? Good grief...…..

Please tell who did we fight against? which fought for its independence" Bahamians have never fought against anyone ever, except for those few brave men who joined the British armed forces during the two world wars. Where do people learn this stuff?

Reparations, free money, what a great topic. Do all Bahamians get some even the white Bahamians? What about a well known attorney whose mother was British? Does he have to pay or does he get some of it? What about a previous prime minister whose grandfather was a white Bahamian, does he have to pay or does he get some? Do the British people have to pay even though their navy intercepted so many slavers and liberated the slaves to settle them in the Bahamas? This court case going to go for a long time. Are there any black Bahamians without white dna or white Bahamians without black dna? I doubt it.
