You do realize that you just described the stock market right? Lazy people, depending on the efforts of others and betting on said efforts (stocks or bonds) to get money they havent earned. Absoute hogwash, joeblow..bullshit!
So, the PM should tell me how I should spend my hard earned money? While you are at it, can you tell me which places "are meet and right" and pass your sanctimonius standards?
Could not disagree more with Mabon. Typical black person cant take care of their own money, because we are so stupid that we will gamble all of our paychecks rhetoric. Simplistic, sophmoric and specious.
So, true,ThisIsOurs, regarding the movie about the HMBS Flamingo. But, that has already been done, way back in 1986. It was an opera, actually, called "our boys", entirely written by a Bahamian - innmy opinion the greatest musician/composer/lyricist - the Bahamas has ever produced, Cleophas Adderley, who recently died if I remember correctly (if not, apologies, Mr..Adderley). our boys tells the story, with artistic license, about the HMBS Flamingo and, when first performed at the Dundas in 1987, included an international and local cast. To this day, our boys, is the ONLY full-scale opera to be written and performed in the English speaking Caribbean! Look it up on youtube. our boys is the Bahamian artistic and vocal talent and experience at its apex - with apologies to 'Sammie Swain' and 'You Can Lead a Horse to Water', two wonderful, but slightly inferior pieces of work
To your point, btw, the governwnt, I wont say when, so as to not make this political, was suppossed to divert funds for a possible offbroadway run, in NYC, which would have been fantastic, but the initiative was ultimately stopped, reviewed and cancelled. Very sad. Our Boys was again performed at the Dundas in 1998 by the way. I saw it both times and was absolutely filled with 'pride - incidentally, one of the major songs of the opera, that a Bahamian produced such masterful.work, about a Bahamian experience. Kudos, Mr. Adderley!
Pablojay, totally agree. But then, I doubt that most journalists and so called bloggers and the people in this comment section can even tell yiu the significance of HMBS Flamingo. Whats sad is these are the same people chastising our politicians for not being "Bahamian'.
Oracle, it appears your heart is in the right place. However, if the governmemt was.to take the measures you suggest (30/60%), our economy - and country - will be virtually destroyed, almost certainly without repair.
