Well since the theatre was full, the answer would appear to be yes to the expectation and the reality.

I know we are a small country and its hard not to be connected somehow politically, but the political connection with this proposal just reeks. And I want to know WHERE exactly is this land FOCOL owns in New Providence- Ain't much open land left in New Providence. What kind of environmental/health impact will it have on the thousands of households no doubt in its immediate surroundings and down wind? Since Wilson lives in the east- my guess is that its in the south or west.

What Happened to the small hotel A Stone's Throw Away on top of the hill in tropical gardens? Lovely place but they had a lot of issues staying open.

Excellent point SP- I asked the immigration officer a few weeks back why things were so loose- folks were just walking past the line and "greeters" seemed to be shuttling people past immigration without passports being stamped. Too loose. She was calling for security but there were none in sight and I guess she felt that that was the most she was willing to do.

Wonderful performance! Very proud of this young athlete. Takes talent and discipline to succeed at this level and if she keeps everything together and stays healthy- she will reach the highest heights.

Aren't wooden boats are harder to detect with the radar system? Wasn't that the reason given for outlawing all of those Haitian sloops that used to dock at Arawak Cay?

@Reality_Check Stop hatin' on the boy. He generally makes plenty sense. Might end up being the first white Prime Minister of a post independent Bahamas.

Dear Loretta Butler Turner,
Now was the time for you to stand up and distinguish yourself in the eyes of the people. Instead by joining the herd you have shown that you are not an independent thinker, not an innovator and not a leader. If you had voted your conscience- the power was then in your hands to hold the government's feet to the fire regarding proper legislation- but I guess that was too much work eh? Easier to be Pontius Pilate and wash your hands than be Jesus and get down for the people eh? This country needs leaders who will stand and vote not for party but for the people, for the country. It needs political parties who can make sound decisions that stand on their moral convictions because they are not compromised. What your 180 has shown me yet again is that neither party can stand because they are both compromised. Tell your leader don't waste the people's time bringing evidence on the PLP regarding the five million- until he too is willing to divulge how the FNM financed its campaign. These verbal gymnastics in the house are becoming increasingly ignorant. We ALL know that both parties take money from anyone who will give and these folks get special favors or dispensations later on. Do you recall Kelly's getting the contract for the energy efficient lightbulbs? Do you know how that was perceived by the public? Your party's supporters who are small businessmen? None of it is right- no matter who is doing it- PLP or FNM and don't tell me that that is politics because that is a weak, irresponsible answer. I don't know about anyone else, but I am so tired of party politics as currently practiced in this country and the position that you took today magnified it. I am beginning to believe that you and your parliamentary colleagues on both sides - need to seriously check yourself. Ya'll may not have a literal gun, but i am beginning to think you all are killing this country as much as the man on the street is doing to his brothers.

Didn't this happen before at Strachan's? Nothing was done then and nothing will be done now.
