we back toby! rcl can get out and stay out. They have no sway in business over us. They must learn not to demand, but sit small and take whatever consideration we will allow We being the citizenry and not any government of the likes of past or present over the past 50 years.

I'm ready for We March against the Royal Caribbean getting anything on Hog (Paradise) island. It is such a stupid concept that it should never have been entertained. Reverse the foreign cruise company plan and give it Toby Smith - what he rightly deserves!

It was not so long ago that patrons in a barber shop on Jerome Avenue were killed in a similar ambush. Has any real resolution been discovered and acted upon? And come to that there needs to be severe penalties for those found to commit these crimes. Even road crimes are never deallt with by anything more than the mere slap on the wrist penalties meted out. My stepson who was killed in a collision and who had a better career brand working for him than the excessive speed driver - the driver was not given a true reflective fine and or prison penalty. Those who step outside of their home without a government identification in their pocket are charged far too much , and those who intentionally break laws regarding smuggling and dope quantity posession and proven white collar crime are not given enough.and this person who unintentionally but factually killed my stepson and gets away with so much less penalty, is so wrong he received = actually none at all. The penalty system is seriously misguided when a road crime fields less of a penalty than dope or assault or 'white collar ' crimes..Penalties should be awarded according th the severity of the actions that they commit. There should never be any 'soft shoeing' and favouratism

I am neutral in the political race - but YOU acting in the name of the Tribune are so biased, - I f I was in charge - I would send you on your way and ask you to educate yourself! Please take this into close thought and wake up upon it in the morning All best and learn please -

What about the shops and eateries in town which have been closed for over a year we are broke and will once again be bypassed.

If they want and demand the light louse at the West end of Hog (paradise) island it is not even worth entertaining idea of the home porting for them

?

Send Royal Caribbean along with anyone who is associated with them and their land grabs (which will enrich only them) out to sea and out in the cold. Toby Smith deserves first preference - he was first with the plans and applications - and he is Bahamian. Preservation of historical monuments, guardianship of the surrounding area and venture money made will serve to employ Bahamians and keep the turnover of funds in the Bahamas. There is no earthly reason to deny him in favour of a mega foreign company which will never be in any lasting way beneficial to the Bahamas.

Well constructed, well said.

I'm looking forward to this and don't pay any attention to those who misread, cause intentional stirring up of anxieties due to the garbage they post intentionally- and to those bible thumpers the quotes that you misunderstand not only poison your lives but those of a suggestible, gullible nature.
