Thank you, Porcupine, for clarifying my Dad's sensible point. By the way, I lost your number. Can you text it to me again?

This Myers man is truly a dunce. Why does the Tribune keep giving him a bully pulpit. Aside from inheriting a pool company and cheating on taxes, what is his claim to expertise on anything.

more like PLP (alleged) and FNM (proven) when it comes to corruption. But then again, you gullible Bahamians will always trust your corrupt media to tell you what to think.

My point is the utterly disgraceful nature of the Bahamian media, which goes to lengths to catch out one party and permits the other huge leeway on crookedness.

Agreed. In Fitzgerald instance, there was ZERO inference (or possibility) that Mr. Fitzgerald used or had any influence to use with any other minister to influence an outside contractor. He (acting and speaking as a citizen) asked a person with a business that already had all its approvals about a contract that his father sought, which again has nothing to do with cabinet, or with any of his colleagues and which they were in no way able to influence. In the Symonette case, the Minister and the PM discussed a contract to benefit the minister himself. The former was blown up by the Bahamian media, the latter is being overlooked. That was the point of my letter.

I just saw your response to my article on the US coup in Venezuela two months ago and this is my reply to you:

"Hello Muddatake sick, this is Andrew Allen. Can you PLEASE point out where I ever talked about the virtues of joining caricom or the WTO? I have repeatedly and vociferously opposed opposed (as early as 2005, against the then-Christie government's dalliances) signing the revised treaty of Chaguaramas.

As to the WTO, I have written at least 5 letters in the last year criticising this Minnis crew for even considering such an idiotic move as joining an export-oriented group that dissolves our sovereignty (supposedly to make us import from them) while we actually already import 95 percent of what we consume.

You must have a powerful imagination, my friend."

There must be something in the water ever since this dunce Minnis came to power.

No, It was an intentional act of fraud. I can only guess that the morons voting in agreement with the AG are doing so because the FNM's many mess ups are intentional, rather than 'errors'.

No, he is part of the that's-what-taxes-are-for crew!.
How on earth can it be "free" when it is exactly the kind of thing we pay taxes for. When you call the police to report an armed robbery, do you expect them to charge you a "fee"? NO. Because governments use tax revenues to pay for things that are necessities.
Have you been fully indoctrinated, zombie-style by these FNM clowns at the helm? Or do you honestly not realize that government gleefully indulges corporations and wealthy people (income) tax free status, only claim that there is not enough revenues and they need to put fees on poor people. It is called welfare for the rich and it makes no sense, economic or otherwise.

Think about things critically, rather than just repeating hogwash from the useless, right-wing FNM.

Peter Graham is still living too, and is two years older than Godfrey.
