SP 10 years, 9 months ago on Bahamian North Pole explorers rescued and 'desperate' to get home

After 40+ years of dealing with the PLP and FNM these guys decided hypothermia, polar bears or NOTHING worse could possibly befall them.

Questionable theory, but then, whats the relativity of dead vs. just as good as dead?

Getting as far away from the PLP and FNM as humanly possible is the only logical reason to go to the North Pole!

Good commentary - very on point. From my own experience, having lived and educated away for 20 years post-graduation from school in Nassau, and then returning in my mid-30's - everything you say above is true. I was "over qualified" for every job that I was actually qualified for, and the only opportunity to work would have been in banking - which I hated and did not study for at all. So, I was forced to start my own businesses freelancing and fortunately they worked out. At 40 years I began to work freelance as a photographer which was the only thing I had wanted to do since I was 13 years old but was told I'd never make money in so I followed a traditional path - which was primarily one of misery, disappointment etc and led to years of feeling like a failure because I was not fulfilling my ultimate desire. Now I do better financially freelancing in the field that I love and was destined to do than in any job I had in banking or another sell out field. I agree with you - any one that goes away to study - stay away. Our country is failing and floundering and there is little to no opportunity for you here. Quite sad.

The biggest mistake in my life was coming home after school. Regret, that I did, this country has little to offer if you are not a follower. Ignorance and greed are the two main drivers of Bahamians. Just look at the Charlie-Charlie stupidity and you can see how ignorant even the supposed educated are. Geed, look no farther than government, Greg Moss hit the nail on the head.
