Revelations 21:8 doesn't actually mention anything about homosexuality. It says the sexually immoral. It's biggotry that associates that statement with homosexuality.
Carnival is not African culture. It's a Christian based celebration leading into Lent (although we chose to have it well after). It was developed in Europe and spread from there.
You're right about the what happened to the money, but why the xenophobia? Just because there are some things that are non-Bahamian doesn't make them foolishness. There is more than enough Bahamian foolishness of our own.
Not just funds derived from VAT, but any funds that the government manages to get their hands on. There is absolutely no fiscal responsibility from our leaders what so ever. Given then money is like giving a junkie crack. They are addicted to wasteful spending.
You are absolutely right. Bahamasair is just another mismanaged crown corporation whose purpose has long since passed. Every year they cost tax payers money. It's not as if there are no other options. In fact the other options are usually cheaper and more reliable.
Sell it off, make some money and pay down the debt. The government has proven year after year and administration after administration that they cannot run a business.
They actually said that renewables could meat "a significant portion" of it load. He was singling out heavy industrial customers as having load profiles that don't work as well with renewables.
This is what happens when succesive corrupt governments spend all the their effort and time trying to rape and steal from the Bahamian people instead of working to improve the education system and social services. And it's also what happens when the vast majority of Bahamian citizen, sit around and do and say nothing about it.
The failure of school system has left most of this country illiterate and uneducated. Citizens lack the basic skills required to do the simplest jobs. Unemployment is at it's current level because the unemployed are not trained to work. This leaves them with little to no options. As crime rises, tourists stop coming and 70% of the economy of the Bahamas will begin to grind to a halt. The longer this is left to fester, as the leaders flip flop back and forth between excuses while the Bahamian people sit around and suck their teeth while doing absolutely nothing, the worse it's going to get.
It is a past time of the Bahamian people to blame others for everything that does not go their way in life, and in this case it is true. The governments of this country have done nothing to help it, but that is the fault of every Bahamian. It is the people who put these corrupt leaders into power and it is the people who refuse to stand up and demand something better for the country. For once we could actually do something, actually demand something of our governments and our leaders.

But also, good for the Island House. I think the upscale boutique hotel model is a very good fit in the Bahamas.
