As long as politician people continue to deify him while vilifying his ubp predecessors I will continue to present a contrasting view in the interests of balance. And I wonder just which of the historical facts that I presented do you take issue with? Has not LOP been credited with introducing nib? Did it not pay pensions to those who had not contributed to the fund? Did not these pension recipients feel grateful and give their political loyalty to him and his party for the rest of their lives? Has not nib been a mismanaged financial disaster from it's inception? The truth is that the actions of that first prime minister continue to be felt in the modern Bahamas and nib going broke at current levels of contributions is just one example. The present reality is due to prior actions. You stop teaching un formed children's minds that pingling was a hero who "fought" and won independence and emancipation for women, etc.. and I will happily shut up with my historical corrections.
NIB was started by the corrupt lynden Swindling as a way to give money to thousands of his diehard supporters who had reached retirement age without being clever enough to prepare a retirement plan. Free Tings kill Nassau People, as the old saying goes. We love free money and these nib funded pensions bought a generation and more of plp votes. They also made sure that nib became the mismanaged financial disaster that it is now. The best thing that I can say about the outgoing director is that she did not appear on the front pages of the local dailies patting herself on the back for spending hundreds of thousands of our investment dollars on ambulances like her predecessor, Ms, Rowena Bethel, did. Both ladies now receive ridiculously large pensions for doing the job in a way that no one in their right mind could describe as proficient.
I agrre, Roudyloudfnm, the media call weed "dangerous" drugs because the police report does so, the police report does so because it was so described when the legislation was first written, it was so described when the legislation was passed because a US bureaucrat named Harry B. Ansliger wanted to keep his job in the ATF and saw pot smoking Mexicans and blsck jazz musicians as a easy target to create an enemy of society. The US government somehow ignore the approximately 65,000 deaths due to iatrogenic disease every year, most caused by doctors over-proscribing pharmaceuticals. Most all of these deaths result in no criminal prosecution at all.
Hey, ondrip4 e. "You think i sorry for people who buy ten million dollar homes"
IfIfyou had a better than a D- education then you might be sorry for the hundreds of jobs that these second home owners create. Have you ever visited the Hopetown lighthouse? Do you think it would still exist if it had to rely on we people? Best people ever for the country, they contribute without using up any of the social services, education, medical, etc., And a stupid person likes you wants to get rid of them by imposing onerous taxes. It is a shame that so many others think like you do. The country is doomed, I would move to Canada 'cept that the Johmson family say the weather sucks.
This Officer would benefit from a reading of the book called " Magical Child" by Joseph Chilton Pearce. He posits that our character is fixed by age 2 and that it is very hard to change after that age short of a "Paul on the road to Damascus" event.
Magical Child, a classic work, profoundly questioned the current thinking on childbirth practices, parenting, and educating our children. Now its daring ideas about how Western society is damaging our children, and how we can better nurture them and ourselves, ring true
This man has not worked in s proper job in the private sector for decades, if ever. He has always been a fiscal parasite like the rest of our civil servants. He has no idea of the challenges of running a business and is not qualified to comment. The Tribune reporter could just as well asked Frederick Mitchell for his opinion, it would be just as much value.
