Absolutely. It is a sad state to see how broken the family structure is in this country. There are so many children that don't even have one loving parent, let alone two. On top of that, there are a serious lack of role models for these children outside of the home. We need strong educated woman and men who have broken out of poverty to give these kids hope. They need to be able to see that with education, hard work and dedication they can do and have things they will never have access to by staying uneducated.

Education and proper family planning. We will continue to suffer as a country until these are improved. We need a national campaign on the options for birth control and we need to educate the children in this country. The best way out of poverty is to educate yourself and the more people that escape poverty, the less crime there will be. Crime and poverty go hand in hand.

I'm surprised the government hasn't jumped on board with taxing it so they can siphon off some more money. Sell it in licenced shops so our tourism can compete with the opening of Cuba.

Number 94. We really are going for the record this year.

There are many reasons. The first being that the government is trying to bring in NHI, so therefore a person's bad health is now everyone's problem. The second is that people who are in bad health tend to take more sick days, have lower productivity and produce a lower quality of work. Companies invest lots of money into many of their employees through on the job training and having a healthy employee gives a better return on that investment.

You are correct that there is a mentality that other people will take care of our slackness, and that is something that needs to change. We have a problem in this country with taking responsibility.

The BAMSI fire, BOB's loan write down, the dump fire and Brave's involvement in RENEW Bahamas contracts, record murder rates, Alfred Gray's judicial meddling, the wasted money from Carnival, failure to have the equality referendum, disregarding the web shop referendum, and on and on.

I'm really not sure what else the government could do that would finally cause the Bahamian people to demand accountability.

Well done. The AG and PLP seem to think that it's only a conflict after an impropriety.

43 Years of little to no upward economic mobility for the average Bahamian is more than enough evidence to show that the government has no interest in helping 'the poor Bahamian'

This reminds me of the story of Emperor Nero, who played his fiddle as Rome burned.

I would bet that they have very little idea of the history of Junkanoo or it's evolution into the parade it is today. They just know it's a party that they are supposed to participate in and that it started a long time ago.
