Yes do all of those positive things you reference but don't fool yourself, guns are the problem. Just look North to the US to see the insanity and death that guns bring to society. Yes sticks, knives and cars can kill as well but the gun call kill many in the blink of an eye and does daily in the US. The Bahamas is wise to maintain a no gun policy and should even pay a fee to anyone handing in a gun to avoid falling into the gun insanity that is the US.

I for one would hope the Bahamas never reaches the destitute of a Uganda ...

"I think one does protest too much"

Relax and have a Kalik

Relax ... the big bad America is not going to beat up the Bahamas .... It's a flag honoring a particular group of people who have been bullied by real "downlow" bullies.

This Bahamian respects all of God's, whichever God you worship, children.

Smug much?

All of this for 50 twelve inch trees ... please... smh.

Sorry Doc but a good Prime Minister needs to be capable of focusing on both.

What the Bahamas really needs is a female Prime Minister. Woman are far superior at mulit-tasking. Bahamian men are easily distracted which results in confusion.

I am glad to see we have at least one sensible Christian commenting here. The Haitian people come to the Bahamas for a better life for themselves and their families similar to when many Bahamians migrated to the States. These people do the work many Bahamians find beneath them.

Remember ... " there but for the grace of God go I"

My sentiments exactly. The Bahamas need a female Prime Minister now, more than ever before.

Pintard ... stay in your lane mon

The sista is a true Bahamas loving Bahamian. Her words show she loves her Bahamas above the mighty dollar.

I applaud Minister Hanna for her moral pro Bahamian consistence... a rare quality in politicians.

When will the Bahamas wise up and put a woman in the Prime Minister seat... the men thus far have consistently made a mess of it.
