If you people think that you can pressure our government through threats and
the waving of your yankee dollar you've got a big surprise coming! What
"conflict of interest", Island state politics" are you people talking about. I
am a proud Bahamian and I sure as hell will be calling my Member of Parliment
to keep you lot of free loading, dirt bags out o our Country. Why the hell the
entire lot of you go the Keys or wherever you want to go. As a Bahamian I am
sick and tire of hearing you Americans cry for every damn thing when it is not
convenient for your own selfish benefit. I pay taxes way beyond $300 dollars in
Florida on every trip and a $100 for an American Visa do hear us Bahamian
bitching? To hell with the whoe lot of you snooty caniving *******s

Maybe our money would be better spent teaching them the proper use of grammar and how to spell?

You know, I always wonder when I read these things, I can never decide if I am should be mad
at the actual person or some SOB trying to make them look bad by spoofing a letter.

I mean really, how better to raise anger than to forge a letter with anti - American content.

Just a thought.

I accept his advice; I'll spend my $$ elsewhere 'cause this new fee
structure is too rich for my blood. Let's see what his comments are
after living a couple of years with a significantly reduced flow of
income from tourist $$.

Yea, and soon you'll be getting an invitation to have a private banking
transaction from him to get the $21.5 million USD that his dead uncle left
in the Bahamian treasury.

we also have complete content of site before forcefully edited and will forward
in doc. format to anyone requesting.

Dosn't look all that edited to me other than cutting some profanity.

I have to agree that the Bahamian government has made a big mistake.
The islands already have the highest tourist dissatisfaction rate (12%)
of any tourist oriented country in the world. This is just going to
make it worse. Bimini and Walker Key are really going to be hurt
quickly but overall this is just another nail in the coffen of Bahamian
tourism. There is even some backlash building among travel agents
booking non-boating tourists. The way this fee was handled on top of
the high dissatisfaction rate is going to have an effect on all tourist
bookings, not just our boating comunity.

OTOH, the Bahamian citizens' view is a little different. Most of their
objections about depleting resources is bogus but they do have a couple
of valid points. We can enter the Bahamas with a drivers licence. With
the PATRIOT act in effect, they have to pay $100 for a single entry visa
application which is not refundable if the visa is rejected and 214(b)
rejections are quite common. In their mind it just evens the playing
field.

Looks like Van Sant is going to have to find another thorny path.

I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite. Watch my progress (or lack
there of) at: http://www.rutuonline.com
Shameless Commercial Division: http://www.spade-anchor-us.com

I dont know about all the 'economic' downside to all this ....
If the Native Americans during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
imposed such a tax .... maybe they wouldnt have lost their country.

I live in an area that attracts a lot of 'tourists'. First the tourists
started arriving, then some started to stay, then the toursists who
stayed changed everything they could so that what was once a pristine
beautiful area .. now looks like the blighted areas where the toursts
come from ....then the whole area collapsed and was ruined due to the
weight of all the tourists: cost of living went up, the tourists
consumed all the open space, changed all the customs and laws to suit
thier own selfish needs, totally destroyed a quaint rural setting to one
of high density suburban sprawl, etc. --- and totally destroyed the area.

Personally if the Bahamians want to preserve their country, they should
RAISE the fees higher and perhaps impose a quota system for entry.

Let's all NOT go for a couple of years and see how that flies....(c;

Of course, that may not be realistic because US citizens OWN most of
the place, anyway. I know 4 who have homes over there.

What will they do, confiscate and communize all the US owned private
property that's keeping them from starving?
