Therein lies the problem, carrying dangerous weapons on your person,be they knives or guns.In the old days when friends had an argument, I little pushing or 'dashing' and other
friends intervening, in fives minutes everything was back to normal.

I am all for your foolishness Damian, you are a QC,go for it. Just remember that your skin is
lighter than mine and your hair better, so i expect to receive more than you.

We don't know for sure, but one thing I do know is that it is difficult to get most Bahamians
to swim in water that we consider 'dirty' and most rivers are not clear enough to our liking.

I wonder if they got the all the ages of those charged right. Kim Smith 57, three months
pregnant,Christina Wilson ,19, possibly pregnant.

Just a brief reminder, God works through people, you know , or should know.

We talk about majority rule and all the good things that it brought , but they are mostly material things, which seem to be all that matters nowadays.However I long for the good old days, when , if a murder occurred,we talked about it for weeks on end. I have to add that my
late father used to require our assistance , he was a welder and blacksmith, in making 'bars'
as we called them at the time. You see at that time, 'bars' were installed around windows and wrought iron doors were made for places like "Vickies" and "Ceddys", the former a house of prostitution and the latter a gambling house, for the sole purpose of keeping the
police out. Burglar bars came later.

I understand why he is supported by Birdie. My daughter came home from one of his classes
saying that he must have been a diehard PLP . In the class he taught political science in The
Bahamas for the years 1967-1992 and after 2002 as he deemed the Ingraham Administration
foolishness,calling 1992-2002," The Yap Yap Years".

Thanks Tal,if he were here he would surely appreciate the comments.I do so on his behalf.

@Well_mudda,you have plenty company with that insight. I tell all who would listen ,that in
twenty years,when Bahamians travel to the U.S., Canada ,etc, with surnames like,Ferguson,
Thompson,Johnson,Rolle,Russell etc, residents of those countries would be surprised at our
nationality ,because they would say that Bahamian names do not sound like that.

On the issue of the future of conch in the Bahamas, when i was a youngster many, many,moons
ago, my late father was a blacksmith,who made and sold conch hooks to The Iron Mongery,a
store that was located downtown Bay Street.Fishermen came to buy these hooks, to which a pole approximately twenty feet in length was attached.With those poles they would 'hook' a boatload of conch,never having to go into the water,as some of them could hardly swim.
They got all the conch that their 40' sailboat could carry at a maximum water depth of twenty
feet.

Spot on Joe !
