mmmmmmm...that conch salad looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD !!!

I know we have it pretty good in The Bahamas. We don't owe nothing to our govt. We don't pay any form of income tax so the money from our paycheck, every penny, goes in our pockets. Thousands of Bahamians attend Universities in the US and Europe spending hundreds of thousands of dollars because we can. When hurricanes strike here you will never see the type of devastation that happens in Florida or Louisiana. We simply have better building codes and response to disaster.
