There is continuous debate on the matter of just how much is a human life worth.  There have been actual studies done to attempt to put a dollar value to the human life.

“The Value of a Human Life: $129,000” – Time magazine May 20 2008

Excerpt from this article; “In theory, a year of human life is priceless.  In reality it’s worth $50,000.

That’s the international standard most private and government-run insurance plans worldwide use to determine whether to cover a new medical procedure.  More simply, insurance companies calculate that to make a treatment worth its cost, it must guarantee one year of ‘quality life;’ for $50,000 or less.  New research, however, would argue that figure is far too low.”

While most would consider life to be ‘priceless’, it would seem that the average Bahamian life for a certain Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Member of Parliament is worth about $250 – $1,500 (US); the cost of a replica high-end watch by Folex.  This does not even come close to the $50,000 that ‘bloodsucking’ insurance companies use as a standard to determine a policy; but yet this Member of Parliament seems pleased with the fact that he can offer these to his constituents instead of ensuring that they have potable drinking water.

If we all recall it was this very same elected official that later explained that he was unable to tell his constituents that they were being poisoned by the very water that they were drinking, a fact that he was aware of over a year before he was forced to reveal it, because he would have lost his job.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is their nature.
