Do you hear that laugh? Yeah that contagious one! The laugh that gets under the skin of some MP’s and other people?
Well that's Mr. Hubert Ingraham (FNM), former prime minister laughing at the ever changing gambling “referendum” and now the proposed Constitutional Amendment to give women equal rights as men.
While I really don’t see the need for a referendum on the gambling issue, it’s like marijuana, just legalise it, but now it's changed to include the right of Bahamians to enter local casinos.
As for the Constitutional amendment making Bahamian women equal to men, it was only a few short years ago that the PLP Government, then opposition, voted in favour of this same amendment in the House of Assembly then campaigned bitterly against it.
Funny how the more things change, the more they remain the same.
And while I disagreed with many of policies pursued by Mr. Ingraham and the FNM, he sure was right on these two issues.
Enjoy it Mr. Ingraham. You deserve the vindication on these two matters in particular.
