Who do you think wrote this?

If we truly understand these arrangements of the local economy, which have produced fairly good standards of living for residents over the years, then we can begin to appreciate the continuing need for and reliance on foreign investment and tourist spending to support our lifestyle.

It is only until we are in a position to produce more goods and services for local consumption and exports that the Bahamian dollar will be in demand internationally and perhaps one day, it too will become a mighty dollar. Until that time however, we must be especially careful how we treat our foreign visitors and our foreign investors.

About The Book "High":
Barbey, at ninety-two years, is the Bahamas’ Obeah Witch Doctor. He is dying. He must make contact with his heir Corranna, a lesbian, with the use of her twenty-three year old navel cord. In addition, Chiezne, a spiritual seed imprisoned to Earth for 500 years during the demise of the Lucayan Indians needs her so that he could return to the heavens.
Corranna has no interests in Obeah. She is a Junkanoo-festival drummer-dancer and photographer. Sasha, a neophyte pesters her, but Corranna’s puppy love, Morganna, returns from Germany. Morganna, a fashion model, rekindles their lost love, and then falls prey to Knuckles, a drug baron and high school friend. Knuckles, with lesbian, Tomboy, an assassin and drug baroness, work for Carlos Lehder, a Colombian cocaine kingpin to spirit contraband to the USA. He utilizes Bahamas Government High Officials.
A sizzling encounter with Val, an American, introduces Corranna to crack. Circumstances from Morganna’s and Knuckles’ past lead Corranna on a perilous sea escape with Tomboy onboard an ocean racer while being chased by DEA, Coast Guard, along with Bahamas Defense Force Marine Patrol.
Barely surviving the ordeal, Corranna, now addicted, confronts Obeah powers then losing her inherited millions, and life.

"The Mighty Dollar" - Do you think he wrote that one too? His name is not on it.

talks the same jargon, might be

Sure, we should be kind (nice) to foreign investors but it is a two way street! They come here to our "house" (the islands) and they should be respectful to us. Sometimes that is not the case. I know a number of foreign investors. Most are OK but you get the odd one or two or more, that holds us in contempt - particularly, those of us who are "of colour! This is not good. Do we need that, just for the money?
