"Accomplish bullshitter" or not - I don't know the man at all - this letter is quite refreshing. He appears to openly admit his past deviant behaviours, something our current politicians (regardless of party) seem to avoid doing at every turn. Moreover, he (Bodie) clearly indicates his bias toward his political party of choice - which he is free to support - and, unlike many "ghost writers" ,in The Tribune and other media, and "commentators on message boards" does not hide from the fact that he supports a party. Now, when we read what he has to say, we can filter his rhetoric from the bias lens from which it comes. Again, unlike other people who try to pretend to be objective and neutral, however, are so biased that if a certain political party cures cancer, the Tribune headline will read: "Yes, but they still can't cure Ebola!" Again, I don't know the man personally, but, I admire the apparent transparency.

The two are not mutually exclusive, sheeprunner12. The government, any government, can assist those less fortunate while concurrently empowering its citizens to overcome, or improve upon their current circumstances.

A register is already kept (now are people reviewing said register...?) at the OPM, inclusive of proposed time domiciled in the Bahamas.
You can re-register your home, but the beneficial owner on record is still required to be a "natural person". Changing from John Doe to XYC company does not shield you.
I agree, sadly, with your first sentence.

Because, Birdie, we all know what the agenda is here...a Bahamian passport.

Could not agree more! The Tribune is, at best, disingenuous and, at worst sleezy and insidious, by continuing to proclaim that this young lady is stateless. She is not. Tribune, I know you only exist to enthusiastically champion the cause of all things FNM, but, hell, you could at least pretend to want to care about respectable journalism.

Or, he/she really could be a 'hardcore' FNM, who really thought that this iteration of the FNM actually represented positive change for the country...only to be severely disappointed. As, it appears, are most people.

Point taken.

infoseeker, admittedly I posted my comments before reading yours. So, you are asserting that she is unable to receive a Haitian passport due to the fact that both of her parents have Bahamian passports? Ok, fair enough...thank you for the clarification.

I ask this question out of ignorance, and I stand very much to be corrected. But, isn't the Tribune headline wrong? To the best that I understand our law, this by all accounts wonderful young lady does have a status. She is a Haitian citizen and can receive a Haitian passport at any time. Is this not accurate? The issue here isn't "status", its that she wants a Bahamian passport, no? And, for the record, I am not attempting to argue whether her current immigration status should be the case, I am just pointing out that the only reason she is "without status" is because she does not have a Haitian passport, that she is eligible to receive at any moment. Again, if I am wrong, please correct me.

Not only will he win, but he will win resoundingly!
