Exactly my sentiments ! They spend money wherever they want and not necessarily on
what the country needs.

I have written a few blogs concerning Bell before and this article continues to reaffirm my
opinion that he is an ass,though(supposedly) an intelligent one. After all he is a minister of
state in the present government , maybe that says it all. Every time he opens his mouth,
foolishness comes out. If you didn't know it ,you would never guess that he was a police
officer. It reminds me of many of our people who have attained a lofty position and have
permanently erased from their minds the fact that they came up from the ranks.
The article say that he refused to comment on whether or not he supports the Court's
ruling, but everything he said shows my toddler grandson that he does not support it.
A "no comment" would have been a neutral answer.

I have a close relative who worked for Gulf Union Bank and and none of those former bank
staff has received one cent from any Bahamian government more than a decade later.

You forgot that a passport is the main one of two government issued photo
id's required at local banks for check cashing, when an individual does not
have an account at the bank on which the cheque is drawn.

Birdiestrachan and TalRussell , this is what continues to keep our nation back; people who
see things solely through biased eyes. The issue here is Fred Mitchell's response as
foreign minister . In most 'first world' countries, he would be given the choice to resign or
be fired for his comments.You are not unlike African Americans, making excuses for all the
negativity in their communities.

Wonderful article Ms. Burrows. We all know Bahamians just like to use trending words or
phrases and i am quite annoyed by this . Some of them are; ludicrous, god willing or god's
willing,would have (for something that has already happened),going forward,etc,just to name a few.

Yeah "duppyVAT" to answer to your comment "--------- maybe things would be better if
Bahamians were all gay" , a few years back a Klu Klux Klan member said that he wished
that 150 years ago all black people were gay,the world would
definitely be a better place.

I still cannot understand why so many bloggers and others believe Fred Mitchell to be so
much more intelligent than everybody else, other than that being an indictment of the PLP.
I agree that he is no dummy,but we have hundreds of Bahamians who can send him to the
back of the room. Only thing is being one who craves the limelight and with a journalistic
background, he knows how to present that image.After all these years in politics,he still
oftentimes seems ill at ease, as if someone or something is lurking in the shadows.

I read awhile back where Obie said that Sir Lynden made him promise to never oppose
Perry. Sir Lynden was many things, but one thing he was not: dumb. He realised that if
Obie and Perry were to be at war, it would be a catfight and all his business would come out.

I have said it before and i will say it again ,something must be wrong with Keith Bell !
He does not want his government to be judged on the murder count, but three years
he wanted the world to judge the bahamas on its murder count !
