Alicia is a brave young woman. She is ready to defy the approbation of Bahamian bigots in pursuit of her goal of a more righteous country. We need more like her and less bigotry, especially that bigotry that cloaks itself in religion.
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.
