... the last time the Bahamian people voted on something (referendum of gambling) the government did the opposite and instead of nationalizing gambling (which would have been against the will of the people) they decided to allow a few private individuals to reap hundreds of millions of dollars in benefit instead! My level of faith in any government, especially the PLP is less than zero!
... parenting or the lack thereof is at the root of ALL our social ills. People want to freely have sex without understanding the ramifications of their immaturity. It takes time, effort money to raise children right! If any irresponsible slacker could do it, the Bahamas would be a no crime paradise!
... the main problem with healthcare in this country is not based on infrastructure, but the people who work in the system! How will they fix the problem with consultants who spend more time in their private offices than they do in the hospital or doctors who set a quota of the amount of patients they will see daily or the lack of empathy nurses show to patients who need their help! Many deaths that occur in PMH might be avoidable if staff cared a little bit about human life! How will the government fix that?
... if there is a law to be amended it should be the one that allows a few people control of gambling in the country. It should be nationalized and managed by a non-Bahamian entity with experience doing the same.
"*But I can say, I welcome his willingness to come forward to help and build this country.*”
Undermining the work ethic, creating a generation of gambling addicts, siphoning off the resources from "over the hill" creating more poverty and hardship for poor Bahamians is not nation building. Of course I could be wrong!
... now sure what we have too celebrate unless the rate at which our moral, social, spiritual, economic and patriotic decline has taken place is a good thing! And to think, we can't blame the "white" man for it!
... not sure why Bahamians celebrate "Independence". Wealthy foreigners and Haitians have been greater beneficiaries of what this country has to offer than Bahamians. Successive governments have mismanaged the economy! The national debt enslaves us to other countries and we have morally, spiritually and economically slipped near to a point of no return, and yet people want to celebrate independence?? Bahamians are as simple as our early Arawak inhabitants, and it is only a matter of time before we become co-partners in their fate!
