While I'm not in favor of this project, its pretty hard to argue with the cruise industries position with regard to shoreside amenities and attractions. When the passengers get past the bums, beggars and the big up in your face vendors, dope and crabbie peddlers what is there on offer? A straw market with no authentic straw goods, dozens of tee-shirt, cheap souvenir, jewelry and liquor stores? Historic monuments? Columbus statue consigned to the rubbish heap, the Lighthouse, Water Tower, Queens Staircase in a serious state of dilapidation, our forts mostly in disgraceful condition and generally smelling strongly of urine or worse. Anyone looked recently at the deplorable condition of the Lower Battery of cannons on West Bay Street?. Until the recent caricom visit even the small cannons at the gates of Government house were laying on the ground their rotten wooden carriages having collapsed. Garbage and filth at every turn, just driving through town and along East Bay St these days is an adventure in the outback with the state of the roads. Until we can clean up our act, our attitudes and our country we don't have a leg to stand on.
Or could there be a more sinister motive behind Munroes double speak such as a clandestine attempt to remove firearm access to all citizens. Might we be seeing some of those Bei Jing supplied armored vehicles and grenade launchers in use against the citizens in the coming days?
@flyingfish, I think what Mr & Mrs. Green were subtly referring to is that despicable old Bahamian custom known as Black Crab Syndrome, still thriving after 50 years of Majority rule. Bahamian ignorance and insecurity prominently on display.
