Ultimately I want to give you this. I don’t hold you good people responsible for this anymore than I hold customers who buy products that end up in the trash for our garbage problem. If we have a need or want, there will be a company to supply them. Disney is good at supplying them. However in their quest to supply you good people, they forget there are other good people that get consumed, and their resources consumed in the process. Somewhere the ideals of Walt got lost in the business of Mickey.
For those that remember their bible stories, it very much resembles David and the prophet Nathan. Nathan tells David a story of a rich man and a poor man in a town. Rich man has a flock of sheep, the poor man has but one. Poor man treats the sheep as his child, the lamb even sleeps in his arms. A traveller arrives in town, and in order to prepare the feast, the rich man who could pick from any of his many sheep instead orders his servants to take the poor mans sheep to slaughter it for the feast. Then Nathan asks David what should be done to the rich man. David said this man should surely die and should pay fourfold for what the poor man lost. Then Nathan pointed to David and said “ Though art the man, David”, for David took Bathsheba from Uriah, though David had many wives already. Disney is a rich company, and can have their pick of any lovely jewels of the sea and sandy beaches all over. Yet they choose the poor man’s prized lamb, the jewel of their island, because they can. This point of land has great cultural and historical significance. It has the remnants of slave quarters, it is a spot where ancient artifacts have been discovered from the Lucayan settlements, and they have significant ecologically sensitive plant habitats at this point. But the Bahamas do not have all the resources to protect their treasures, and time and again get their pockets picked, or their lambs slaughtered. I’m not here to point the finger at you, no not at all. I come to raise awareness, and to point my boney finger and say to Disney, “though art the mouse.”
