I wish Bahamians could have a taking pride in being honest, hardworking, responsible and faithful to your partner parade. But that may be asking too much!

Moss is talking about marijuana and its pitfalls, and others rant about religion. If religion is the cause of our social and moral decline then why were the social problems that now plague us LESS rampant when MORE people adhered to those religious teachings 30, 40, 50 years ago. We had less teen age pregnancy, fewer single parent homes, more respectful and sensible young people than we do today simply because more people practiced what they were taught. Hypocrisy is not found exclusively in religious societies! Isn't that at rational and truthful argument?
In truth, I would take the Bahamas 50 years ago over the moral cesspools most progressive societies now are.!
Other countries have gotten rid of criminal libel laws, but that doesn't mean we have to. A person slandered should have every legal recourse currently available to them under the law to right the wrong against themselves.
*"This comes as the family of the American woman killed in a shark attack while swimming off Rose Island in June has claimed the tour company had no basic medical supplies and did nothing to attempt to save the college student's life."*
