Vendors 'will not bow out on efforts to remain on Cabbage Beach'
First of all the headline is stupid because as far as I am aware nobody was saying the vendors where banned from the beach, they just did not want them using a certain access point which is private property. There is another access point farther down the beach that for some reason nobody wants to use. Now to BahamaPundit, you say "the law is the law", but we have a GOVERNMENT that is breaking the law daily and disregarding a lawful order by the supreme court I.E. Blackbeards Cay, so in this country that statement is taken with a grain of salt. When your leaders are corrupt and break their own laws the rule of law is thrown out the window. So is the law, really the law?

Mitchell does need to come clean on this because, on the face of it, his action has been bizarre to say the least. Don't expect full transparency, however - this is the PLP we are dealing with. The Mafia brothers and sisters will close ranks as usual. The silence from the Attorney General is deafening!

Bahamas may be ‘failed state within 10 years’
I bear one of the names of the 22 foundation names of the Black community of the Bahamas. I don't know how many generations of my ancestors are/were Bahamian. When I stood up for the Haitians, I was accused of being a Haitian. Because I dare point out the severe problems, and burst a rose-coloured glasses view of the Bahamas, I am not a Bahamian.
But I guess I should know better. Someone who quotes the prophecies of Myles Munroe (except that he got the dates wrong, and few little other details) .. well that says it all about reasoning ability.
Bottom line -- there are solutions. They are not deus-ex-machina solutions like a cadre of expats coming to save the Bahamas.
Those seeds will be sown by a home-grown patriot.
And as for being a hypocrite -- my job requires me to be here -- part time at least. I have a residency card that permits me to work in another office in a more civilised place. When I travel, it becomes apparent that we Bahamians have settled for a smaller life -- and it p*sses me off.

... Piracy revixit commercii conterentur - "Piracy Revived, Commerce Destroyed"...
Captain Perry Gladstone Christie and his friends, family and lovers crew of pirates are doomed to repeat history!
They conveniently forgot the national motto of the Bahamas prior to 1973 Independence coined in the year 1717 by Governor Woodes Rogers - Expulsis Piratis/Restituta Commercia. (“Piracy Expelled, Commerce Restored.”)
Pirate Captains Perry Gladstone Christie and Hubert Alexander Ingraham erroneously held the belief that controlling governance while stifling information and the people would have been sufficient armament to protect their return to piracy.
Together they inhibited commerce for selfish gain and ruled "parties of anarchy"! Leading the Bahamas to the dysfunctional, economic disastrous state which we now live.
History always repeats itself!

Honestman 9 years, 11 months ago on Sands: NHI talks are improved at last
Sands: NHI talks are improved at last
Slowly but surely the "penny is beginning to drop" with Christie that NHI is not going to be able to be rushed through to help save the PLP from the wrath of the voting public next May. An affordable NHI scheme is something all parties should be working towards but as Dr. Sands and all intelligent Bahamians understand, the groundwork has to be done first. Furthermore, the phasing in of catastrophic cover has to be in tandem with economic growth. If the PLP were to tax the shrinking private sector to pay for comprehensive health coverage anytime in the near future then it would result in the Nation's economy grinding to a complete halt. Getting this right is more important than Perry Christie's political ambitions.

DPM: 'Don't bully' Tax Department
The taxman deserves every bit of bullying. He or she is a fiscal parasitic lackey secure in his or her government job living at the expense of every tax paying Bahamian. Constipated petty bureaucrats are the lowest form of social life, right alongside corrupt politicians and predatory pastors.
