I have no doubt that people go to Castaway Cay and have a great time.
Disney is very good at what they do. * What bothers me is that a
company like Disney buys an island, takes it *private, changes the
name to something cutesy and American, excludes the natives and
everyone other than a Disney customer, builds a minature Disney World,
and calls it the Bahamas. * It's not even close to being the Bahamas
except for some of the scenery.


They do provide employment for a bunch of folks from Abaco.

That's a good thing. * Bahamians need all the employment opportunities
that they can get. *Otherwise they'd have to go fishing all day. * :-)


That would be a bummer!
