I don't see your solution. Don't be fooled by what it's not doing, there are many underlying factors that even the best of us can not know. But you should be intelligent to know there are no free riders, nor rides.

Now wait! Asking those in authority to fix this problem is like cleaning the mess with a dirty rag or sweeping the dirt under the rug. Nonsense! Let's stop asking and expecting the problem to fix the problem. We need to start over, we need political cleansing, this cleansing will in no way come from the apex of the pyramid but from the very bottom of it where there are no copies or spoils. Thing is Are we prepaired, is there a Joshua?

These guys think like children, they are thinking about us like we are children! "I will make people happy"? Like I say I don't want you'll do nothing for me. If my happiness depends on you guys, i choose otherwise. Don't be such an idiot.

If they don't want to lease it, it will cost to keep it, are they willing to waste dollars maintaining it or should hungry jobless people pay more in church to do nothing with the building. There are far more important issues to deal with other than a few people with no problems attached to the past. What's past is past, so grab hold of your emotions, forget about this and move on.

Energy giants talk to power figures only, those who will protect them gets a deal and they put nothing in writing.

Early this week (Monday) I sent out an email alerting RUBiS that we were smelling very strong gas fumes on the eastern side of RUBiS in the Highbury Park side of Old Trail Road and that this was the case for the past 2 to 3 weeks (even though this is not every day this usually happens after it rains. This has been the case for the past year and months, even after the remediation, sometimes days at a time). In the email I copied a few of the media including minister Fitzgerald and Dorsett. RUBiS responded to the media but RUBiS replied to the media alone, they omitted me from the email response informing the media that the situation is not so. The media called after they received the email response from RUBiS. I told them I did not receive a response from RUBiS so they all forwarded RUBiS respond to my email address. RUBiS response addressed the alert with my name at the top, again the only thing is they did not included my email.

The email said they sent someone to check and the person walked the stretch for an hour and did not detect any vapors or smell and that their systems did not record any leaks. So I was out of my flipping mind trying to toss red flags for attention, I guess. The same way they did not detect and smell the strong fumes we were smelling is perhaps they didn't come, we didn't see them, they didn't do what they said and most certainly no one came and asked us where were we smelling the fumes, no one. Other than the media no one else called not even environmental health.

We are on our own. I sure do hope the people of Sandy Port have a case and that they spill this into the global community. Energy giants are not afraid of property owners, governments and the laws of of countries (if any), nor feeble law suits and petitions launched by small communities, its got to be on a global scale. If the people of Sandy Port will do so only then will RUBiS and the government act on behalf of residents to protect their reputation. When the global community, green activist and billion dollar green corporations protecting the environment and the health of human-beans only do energy giants respond in kind. Almost all settlement by energy giants are settled this way as a result of wide spread pressure and embarrassment. We are much to small and weak to make an effective impact on how they are handling us as human-beans.

Who cares.

Let me be the first Bahamian citizen to publicly turn down the money of a foreigner, I am not interested.

I ain't sorry for the US, if they have it this hard what they think about us!

You know what, we don't need the PLP to do this, we don't need them to do anything for the Bahamaian people, simply because they don't do things right, it's always political and we ended up paying for it, we end up paying for nothing.

Good, but not enough, we need more, we need a crash.
