Guess what? No number of environmental impact assessments saying everything will be peachy will bring back Bimini's invaluable reef habitat once it is wrecked. Which it will be. This is a catastrophe and a dark day for a nation whose primary attraction is it's beautiful coastal and marine environment.

P.s. if God was in control do you think all these innocent people would be hurt/maimed/killed? If so, that's not a God I want any part of. Maybe you should look up "control".

Concerned citizen is exactly right. As for illegitimate babies "spiking in the eighties" Bismarck, where do you live? Because it must not be here in the Bahamas. This is the problem. Until we address it head-on, warts and all, nothing changes. No amount of prayer/bible quoting will change the lack of sex education and family planning we suffer as a country. We need a radical overhaul of our attitude toward our youth.

Let's quote the Bible until crime stops.

^ this guy for P.M., my thoughts exactly.

Where exactly is the Cariibean? Is that near the Caribbean? You know, the group of islands encircling the Caribbean plate that the Bahamas is not part of?

What ^ he said! Tal.

Looks like people wanting a small-island Bahamian fishing experience will go to the Berry Is. now...
What a catastrophe.

This lunacy - the complete ignorance of what makes Bimini attractive as a destination, combined with a plan aggressively shrouded from the public, carried out with wanton disregard for any of the area's marine resources - will go down in history as another of our government's worst blunders. And that is really saying something.

(Angry rant over) John you have a good point.
