Arrogance leads most politicians once elected, to believe they know better than the public what is good for the public. The unfortunate events of Wilma in Grand Bahama has shown, once again that an ability to get elected does not necessarily correspond to an ability to function with the input of all concerned with a given situation or problem. I suppose if a dock were needed in that area (no build zone), its possible destruction would prevent it from being built? If so then most endevours of man should not have been attempted. I agree that it is the intrinsic responsibility of each of us to care for ourselves and our property,to the best of our own wisdom and ability And also to render assistance to our fellow man when obviously required. Each of us in life, make desisions that we and sometimes others will have to live with.Our government seems willing to make a lot of bad desisions that we will have to live with.
Our government also seems to be willing to turn its back on thousands of years worth of accumulated "conventional wisdom"to the great detriment of the people of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
