This national insurance board, ... ..Lends out more than it can afford,. ...Propping up a failing bank, ... ... ....Like climbing on the Titanic as it sank...... .... ..Or lending monies to Bahamasair.......That disappears like my receding hair...... .... ...And paying their staff more than they need,............ . ...And plenty unemployed to feed........ ... Forty nine years of mismanagement... .. ... ..They have wasted most that we contributors lent........Sigh...

Yes TollRussell, it does. It is interesting to note as well that BAARK is at essence the creation of one ex-patriot who being a resident was not granted the right to work and so turned her considerable skills and energy to tackling the stray dog overpopulation. Just think what could have been accomplished over the last decades by the hundreds of ex-pats who have been denied the opportunity to contribute due to our collective xenophobia and government intransience.

If this proposed gun amnesty has any impact on our murderous crime rate then I will very surprised. Just another political publicity stunt.

Tal Rossell. No, the mobile clinic to the best of my knowledge was funded by private individuals, and one in particular, and companies , who have been raising funds for many years now. Just possibly the customs duty may have been reduced by the government, but that I do not know.

An interesting part of the sad story of yet another young man getting killed is that the magistrate seemed unaware of the prevalent rumor that wearing an ankle bracelet means that someone is tracking your movements 24 hours a day and this in turn can lead to the wearer of the ankle bracelet being killed, usually by person unknown.

The real national sport in this Bahamas, . ... ....Is ducking payments to our baby mamas,.......... .. ...And ending up in the family court, .. ...Where non existent funds are sought, ,,,,,Because baby daddy has no work,,... .... ..And, truth be told ,he's a bit of a jerk, .. .. .. And any money he makes from selling weed, ... .... Is money the gambling house will need, ... ... .. And most of the rest to the liquor store...... ... .. .Cheap brandy leaving head so sore... ... ... ..That next gal don't remember right. ..... .. Jus exact what she did last night... .. ...But one thing that is a sure win, ... ...... ...That this is how the unwed mama begin.......

Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes people get just what they deserve. A good decision this one.

Jeanne Thompson says less than most in the political arena but when she does comment then her words are both worth noting and relevant.

The coalition of independent wannabe politicians.... .... Went down to Bay street on a serious mission.................Lincoln needed to get his picture in a paper...... Got a couple of his cronies to come with him on this caper... ... ....No one really cares what this is all about, .. ..Could be sweet as a candy or sour as a kraut..... .. ... .. The only thing important is to get the most exposure.. ... ... So no one could say Lincoln is an irrelevant poseur.

I have to challenge Peter's assertion that:
" his father’s memorial service was essentially a family gathering"
.Umm, A family gathering broadcast to millions, attended by England's nobility and political elite? Well, OK, Peter but your family gatherings are essentially different than mine.
