We need a PM who only wants one term and is willing to make the hard decisions. Set the country on the right part and be willing to go after one term, as you know Bahamians will complain and want to vote you out. But at least the right path would be set. Unless they vote in an idiot who undoes everything.

The sad reality is that none of us are willing to have a leader make the hard decisions to change our country. We ok with the decisions they make once they do not affect our personal situation or cause us to have to lose anything.

Plp rhetoric. when will it stop.

*Mr Scott confirmed that the government, meaning the Bahamian taxpayer, will assume financial responsibility for fulfilling this obligation to the staff. Adding that “we’re close to getting this concluded”, the QC said there was “no point” in extending the deal’s closing any further, and **the government was now “pushing” Holistica to complete the deal for Freeport Harbour’s cruise port expansion with Hutchison Whampoa.***

That last sentence is why I really have questions on the touting go this deal by the government. They talking about the deal includes developing the Harbour, but the only way for that to happen is Hutchinson has to give approval for that. How could you tout a deal and Hutchinson has not even agreed for it to be done?

We need to stop this promo garbage just for a few dollars.

*People are generally proud of the achievements recorded in Britain’s history even though, in common with every other country, it is far from perfect. **It is unrealistic to apply our present-day views to people in the past or to judge the merit of past activities using today’s values because those concerned were making judgments based on different perspectives and understandings of right and wrong in accordance with standards and norms considered reasonable at the time.** The old maxim that yesterday’s orthodoxy is today’s heresy applies in this debate. Standards and values change and develop so it is illogical to wrench historical figures out of their context or expect them to have had modern views on issues such as race – and, what is more, people living today cannot be held accountable for the actions and transgressions of previous generations.*

The author cannot be serious with this statement. There are certain values that transcend time. Like treating every human being with dignity is not limited to the present. Like not wanting to enslave people, or prejudice and racism, and truth and integrity. To try and pretend that the values of decency have just been implemented is to agree with the oppression that people have done. There were always people fighting for the values we claim today. Let us not try to justify what someday wrong by saying they were only dealing with their times. Decent values transcend time.

Tired of intelligent, educated people acting ignorant. Rather than try come up with talking points to try change the narrative, Dames should do the noble move and admit to the error and then look into it to provide a sensible response. His present response just leaves people to disbelieve him and creates an even greater issue out of what didn't have to be.

Suggest they move the Defense Force base at the same time. Still don't understand why the base is in New Providence and the issues happen down south.

*The research published in Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems by scientists at the University of Texas found that “**one of the three** highest abundances of queen conch” in the wider Caribbean is located in Cay Sal Bank, which is a secluded area that is distant from most of those who fish.*

Maybe this article should have hidden the Cay Sal location, just like it hid the other two locations that the research discovered. Sometimes everything does not need reporting.

Wonder where all this push from Fred was when he was the counsel to the powers brokers of the GB Port Authority? Maybe if he had all that interest in Freeport when he had the ear of the power brokers and expressed it to them, Freeport would have been way beyond where it is now.

*“The Bahamas is an archipelagic country, and there are multiple ports of entry, so it takes a while for the word to get out to the troops on the ground. We expected a few hiccups on day one, and there will probably be some more on day two.*

The Minister of Tourism has to be joking with this statement. We so big that it takes a while for the government to get word to the people about the job they are to do? Guess phones and email do not exist anymore. Never expected the Minister of Tourism to make a lubricous statement like that.

This editorial hits the same questions I had on the commissioner's statement. However, I do not expect that the commissioner will provide any answers to the discrepancies. Sadly, we have another do nothing commissioner in the post. One who only there because of time on force and not one known for outstanding service and innovation.
