... if it is true that the DEA is operating illegally in the Bahamas, they aren't doing a good enough job! Imagine how much more corrupt law enforcement officials would be if US agents weren't a deterrent to their activities!
... not sure why the Tribune prints these one sided stories with photos! It is irresponsible, especially since the people they interview can't even properly explain what the real problem is. Do these "journalists" have any standards at all??
... the national debt was a major problem years ago, that's why the PLP introduced VAT, for the sole purpose of paying down that debt! Now they cannot account for all the monies collected from VAT. They are still spending and misappropriating hundreds of millions of dollars, while borrowing and the PM says we should not be concerned?
These guys know how to take care of their personal business, but grossly mismanage the public treasury and no one is held to account. Trump was right when he described countries like ours the way he did!
... the structure of the nuclear family is all but obliterated in this country. Most children are not being raised in a stable, loving environment by two parents who are instilling the necessary values in them. As a result, many children do not have the normal bonds of affection they should toward their parents making it very easy to abandon them as the get older, but nobody wants to talk about that. The consequences of single parent homes and poor parenting are only going to get worse because this country never addresses the root of a problem, it always deals with the fruit!
... so the owner of the dog is connected somehow and is being asked to come in? No warrant has been issued for arrest from the time of the incident? Smell fishy!
... I wonder how many of these people can see a correlation between their choices and the quality of their lives! They chose their partners and decided to have children.
Too many make decisions with their feelings instead of their brains, and likely were not taught how to do the latter! A big part of a parents job is to prepare their children to thrive in the real world, and that involves laying the ground work through education, delayed gratification and strategic planning. Not a lifetime of making mistakes and waiting for someone else to bail you out!! Nothing politicians love more than to have a nation of people dependent on them for everything!
... I wonder how much of this is related to the rise in same sex relationships in this country?
If they were to include verbal abuse, which is equally as traumatic, most households in the Bahamas would be included! As a people we have lost all decency, respect for self and others and other attributes that flowed from our forefather efforts to instill godly values in their offspring! Our people have been educated out of commonsense!
... the Florida everglades has been having problems with these snakes for years now. Not a very long swim from there to Abaco, Bimini or Grand Bahamas. The government should issue rewards to kill these snakes, because they consume everything in sight and they have no natural predators here that I am aware of!
