has Nassau ever thrived as a city engaged in purely legal commerce? It was booming as pirate town, made people rich when the privateers came in to resell their captured cargoes. Merchants and Sea captains got rich running the blockade to keep the Confederates supplied during the American Civil War, Plenty Bahamian families got rich running rum and liquor during prohibition years, smuggling Chinese during this time as well, but we don't talk about that and who did it. How many houses were built in the 198o's on the back of a night-time run across the Gulf. Why did Robert the Vesco end up in Nassau, yep, tax evasion, and off=shore money laundering. Thousands of well paid citizens have worked in off shore banks which were designed to minimize the lawful taxes paid by corporations and wealthy individuals. Stafford Sands, KCMG, and Harold Christie, KCMG, built the foundation of the largest legal sources of wealth that the country still has today. Otherwise we too would be migrating in homemade sloops with sails made out of used PVC banners.

It is interesting that the private schools compensate their teachers at a lower level than do public schools, despite this the private schools seem to be able to attract and retain a more effective body of educators. /is it the size of the classes, or perhaps the campus facilities? It would be edifying to find out.
Having studied nutrition for over 30 years and for much of that time being involved in the food distribution network, I consider more qualified than almost any other Bahamian. Those who know me also know that I have been lobbying for this change for the past decade. Unfortunately the government will not seek my advice but will probably ask some medical doctor. Medical doctors are taught how to prescribe drugs and know as much about nutrition as my potcake, Medical doctors also tend towards arrogance so their ignorance will not stop them making recommendations. This is a great concept and much needed, I just hope it works out well. An 800 percent duty on sugar, sodas and candy would improve the national health of the nation no end.
I have heard that one remaining lucayan was found on Cat Island when the post-Hispanic European settlers arrived. I have also notice a pronounced Indian cast in the features of some Long Islanders. This is also to be seen, in my eyes at least, in some of the Androsian families, The Androsians, of course have a proportion of Seminole blood, particularly Red Bays, I understand from that migration that happened after American Independence when the Americans were trying to exterminate the last undefeated Native American tribe.Possible the same holds true for LI. Descendants of the Lucayans still exist in the Dominican Republic although now declining. The only other possibility I know of is when the British Colonial Office imported several dozen Trinidadian women to strengthen the Bahamian Gene pool, Some Lucayan Blood could have come from there. If you have any information more than you have shared already I would be most pleased to learn it.
