... she chose to have that experience in a foreign country when she decided to break the law! That was her choice and I doubt she learned anything from it!
... if they cared about the "will of the Bahamian people" we wouldn't have a few people controlling gambling in this country and the numbers boys would have been in jail! The political class only does what is best for them and theirs!
... the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior and one just has to compare the capital to Freeport and one can see what awaits Freeport if the government takes control! Our governments are great at mismanaging things. Just look at Bahamasair, Batelco (when they had control) and every government ministry. They can't keep the electricity on in summer and provide drivable roads so yeah, their effect of GB would be catastrophic!
... let's start with seeking reparations from the African tribes that profited from selling other Africans into slavery! Why don't these ignoramuses start there??
... the entire country is in need of a soft skills, anger management, punctuality, productivity and "waiting until you married to have chirren" programme! If only the government would invest in that!
... we need to fix our broken family structure and reintroduce time honored values of responsibility in our personal lives and families. People need to learn how to make decisions that allow them to build real lives and families instead of expecting entry level jobs to finance their lives! They say its a rental facility, but what happens when these people don't pay, will government kick them out?? Of course not, the burden will fall on the taxpayer **again**!! There is only so much the real earners in the economy can absorb in taxes. Money to fund these projects don't come out of thin air, even though the government tries to pretend it does!!
... I blame Bahamians for the poor quality of leaders we have repeatedly been subjected too. Bahamians who want a short term handout instead of a system that demand accountability, integrity and transparency from our leaders. People will protest for a pay increase but not for the abuses and excesses of politicians who rape the public treasury with impunity! Bahamians are to blame because people like Brave Davis, Fred Mitchell, Sebas Bastian, Dwayne Sands, Michael Pintard etc. are people considered worthy of leading this country. We should be ashamed our country is in this current state, if we remembered what that meant!
... there is a time and place for everything, That was neither the right time or the place! Nobody who perpetuated slavery or were on the receiving end of it are alive now. It's time to move on!
... Mitchell is only one example of why politicians should have term limits! The political class has destroyed the potential of this once great country! Our infrastructure is failing, healthcare is a mess, the people have been dumbed down to imbecility and we are being crushed with debt, while an immigrant class continues to steal opportunities from real Bahamians. We don't need the government meddling in anything else!
