INSIGHT: All we've got to do is think BIG and be BRAVE

INSIGHT: A fair process? I don’t think so. Just a Disney roadshow with the government playing dumb
Three days. That’s how old I was when I first became a part of Eleuthera, after my mum and I were discharged from PMH. I was raised on Eleuthera until the early 1980s when, like so many Eleutheran families, the financial and educational realities forced my family to move to Nassau. I was lucky with scholarships and received a graduate degree with a focus on economics. I returned home to Eleuthera to get married and we take our children there at every possible opportunity.

INSIGHT: There will be a heavy price to pay if we’re treated like children
IT is no secret that political factions within our country expect a level of loyalty from members of Cabinet in government.

So it is at present within the governing Free National Movement, where it seems there are a few disgruntled backbenchers.
WORLD VIEW: Gay people are citizens too

INSIGHT: Hutchison must be laughing all the way to the bank
THERE are bad deals and then there are ones that are historically egregious – those that leave us perplexed how one could possibly agree the terms involved.

INSIGHT: It’s not a fantasy - live younger, longer, better
Longevity. Not your concern if you’re in your 20s right? Wrong. Living to 120 or 150 years old. Sounds absurd at best, or an obsession for the top one percent of the population, right? Wrong again. What if we thought of longevity (and preventing ageing) as living younger, longer and better?
