This is a rare piece of honest assessment of our situation. Expect attracts.

Do we need a better reason for young women who have been forcibly impregnated with a child that they neither the want, or have the resources to bring up to adulthood, to have alternative options. Obviously the fascists and right wing Christians' will object on principle while offering no alternative. Hypocrites all.

The Bahamas has one of the highest rates of police persons per capita of population; with this truly shocking admittance of the failure of the Police Road Traffic Persons ability to enforce the most basic tenets of traffic enforcement perhaps the country needs 6 or 9 more Assistant Police Commissioners, and at least 19 more Superintendents, and 38 more Assistant Superindendents, to get the job done. Whatever we have now just ain't working, it would seem.

This will be good news for all the employees who will be working there as well as for all the Bahamian businesses that will benefit. The government made the correct choice whatever bombastic comments circulated by braggarts on social and other media, pretending to have the good of the Bahamian people as their motivation to gain some "Free Tings".

Excellent post, Sheetrunner; one of the several reasons that England pushed the Bahamas government into independence was because the country no longer wanted to be responsible for the Bahamas population. One of my chiilren live abroad; I lucky, when time comes I gone you'll, and the best of independent luck toyou who gotta stay.

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.

It seems to me that one prominent member of the party mussa have a carbon footprint almost as large as his ego based on his nickname anyhow....

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.

It can be taken as given that AnBobserver has never studied Aristotle and his laws of logic. Perhaps he or she is a pastor?

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.
