... the truth is we all know money and Bahamian politicians don't mix. Its more money to waste, pilfer and spend. Net benefit to the nation in real value = zero!

The writer is intelligent, articulate and in touch with her pain. I pray her wounds are healed!

In the Bahamas we have two words for the same act- racism when a black is mistreated by a person of other color, but its victimization when mistreated by a person of the same color.
It does not matter if we have 3rd, 4th or even 5th waves, what is important is the mortality rate associated with each wave. During the 2nd wave the virus was 10x more contagious but 10x less deadly.
Considering the amount of potential exposure people have already had combined with 3 available vaccines, all this talk of additional waves, really seems to be a ploy for governments to keep their foot on our liberties.
It was obvious to me something was wrong when they recommended vaccines AND masks AND social distancing. Just doesn't make sense!
How does the "immediate response" of the government undo the effects of a shot that has already been given? Seems like a conundrum! I think a published detailed plan might be helpful to those who actually care to know!
@proudloudand fnm ...while you are free to express your own views to the dismay of many. Well that is quite undemocratic isn't it? What makes your opinion more valuable than his or anybody else's?
As much as I dislike reading your shallow, often irksome bloviations you have a right to do so and so does the writer of this article!
... in your diatribe you both contradict yourself and expose your hypocrisy. It seems you are unaware that there are different laws at work in our world. While you may not believe it, there is a natural, civil and spiritual context to our existence. Those who are Christians consider the spiritual context when you do not, creating a divergence of opinion!
People have a right to choose any course of action they want, but there are spiritual and natural consequences of those choices. Same sex relationships may have civil approval but violation of spiritual laws cause problems people do not have natural explanations for like addiction and mental illness etc. which plagues the LGBT community. Sexual activity is always by choice and therefore is not an immutable characteristic like race and should not be treated as such!
You call Christians hateful, but why can you not respect their views in the same way that you desire they would respect the views of others. You call for tolerance while being intolerant? Your views can easily perceived to be equally as hateful as those you seem to condemn. At the end of the day, God will judge, unless you presume to take His place!
