Why is Munroe demanding proof? This a UN report and not a court of law. As for his slightly threatening remarks telling taxpayers to not believe anything negative about the police, that shows the lack of awareness of the distrust that many taxpayers have for the policepersons. The corrupt ones that fishbag and torture suspects in the stations give the whole force a bad reputation.
John; your post is just silly. There are Bahamian entities chumming the water to enhance their businesses that rely on tourists. Although I have read of reports of scientists chumming to attract sharks in order to ag them, this is most probably a very minor factor.
Kingley Smith is the newest MP, pledging to serve with integrity. Is it right to wonder just how long, this pledge will last before proved wrong? The track record of the PLP, Is long recorded for all to see.
My 2 cents worth; I spent a couple of decades scuba diving around the Bahamas, thank you Frannie Ballard. We used to anchor in 70ft just off The Wall about a mile out, after dark on a moonlit night, and drop over the side, swim down following the anchor line, and spend 30 minutes or so admiring all the corals that flower at night. Now? I too scared to go swimming offa Cabbage. Age? Maybe, I don't know.
The dangers posed to our culture and Christian values by the promotion of human right? Would the letter writer, if he had been old enough to pen a letter in the 1950's, been as vehemently opposed to the struggles of the Civil Rights movement to end racial segregation? Perhaps he would indeed as the exact same arguments were used back then by the white racist church going opponents of Martin Luther King and all the many others in the movement.
If I understand this letter writer correctly, he is, amongst other things, accusing Governor deSantis of being the devil. This is probably not a good idea if Mr. Ellis wishes to renew the visa that allows him to visit the USA. Mr Ellis also seems to accuse the Governor of being a racist for hypothetically threatening to "flatten the Bahamas". Does Mr. Ellis realize that tens of thousands of Bahamian citizens consider their heritage to be white European? Altogether a very limited perspective shown by both parties.
Many employees, especially those employed by the State, have an attitude of entitlement.; perhaps engendered by the PLP's past policy in education of Social Promotion, by which students were promoted to the next higher grade level regardless of their performance but based solely on the fact that they had spent a year in the old grade. If this state employed worker has spent 31 years doing exactly the same job then, in my opinion, he or she, does not deserve any promotion. Promotion should entail greater responsibilities or greater production, not simply showing up to do the same ol' job.
