The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil if for good men to do nothing. The grass better do nothing, otherwise the grass will suffer.

And the PLP government was right up there supporting the Chinese to steal this man's hotel.

This has to be an April's Fool joke. What sensible thinking government seeks to force private entities to invest in government debt?

Oh, forgot, this what the NEW Day brings. Chaos.

An increasing number of Grand Bahamians are willing to give the central government a shot at managing Freeport. McAlpine and his camp are in the minority.

This letter writer needs to really go and get his head examined. What increasing number fo Grand Bahamians want to see the government take over Freeport, when it is clearly evident that the government cannot do anything with East End and West End, let alone the other Family Islands in the Bahamas.

You have to be mad to believe the government would be able to make a difference in running Freeport better.

Want bad roads in Freeport like in Nassau? Let the government take it over. Want your power always going off? Let government take it over.

Come one, don't thing that one is called for. Anyone who knows Rex Major through the years, whether you agree with what he said or not, knows that he has never been influenced by any political party or bowed to them.

My point pertains to human rights persons.

Let's speak to that issue first.

The larger point, even in religion, is that every one should have a balance view. While I may not agree with your view, at least it should be balanced.

People who work for 35 years get paid for 35 years. These union leaders who don't operate a business just like government. Trying just to take from people without giving anything.

These union leaders.

Sadly, even it continues for 10-14 days there won't be a change, as FOCOL has decided for political reasons not to join the rest to send a message. Some people want to protect thier political puppets rather than bring change.

These self called human rights people always have a one sided view of the issue, and it is a feminist view and not a human rights view. If it was a human rights view, then they would speak of ending the violence against women AND men.

Really? People suppose to know the picture of the person you looking for.

So an iphone on BTC has to change their settings to get the alert, but an ALIV iphone does not? Did these dudes test the system before putting it into use?
