Confusion: The new normalcy?
I have long held that the most seasoned businessman and visionary within the FNM administration is the Hon Dionisio D’Aguilar (FNM-Free Town), our erstwhile Minister of Tourism. I still hold to this belief and I was very impressed by his address to the nation this past Saturday and the fact that he actually took any and all questions from the media.
Atheist Nation
It’s really sad that the Christian community has nothing better to do but to suggest who is or is not an atheist.
COVID strategy
The US adult obesity rate stands at 42.4 percent which is a 26 percent increase from 2008. Vietnam has the lowest obesity rate of 2.1 percent. Vietnam currently has 35 deaths from COVID-19 while the US has 232,834 deaths due to COVID-19.
Fighting the virus
We have made a complete mess. Our government does not understand that lockdowns are not a panacea, and refuses to learn from the experiences of others.
Unwieldy rules
We are holiday home owners in Nassau coming from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, for many years.
Atheism and the FNM
It would be discriminatory of evangelical Christians and other theists to single out Acting Financial Secretary Marlon Johnson for harassment and disenfranchisement for his atheism.
Johnson’s views
It should matter to nobody what Financial Secretary Marlon Johnson’s views (or lack of them) on religious matters are. What should and does matter is that he and his political masters continue to pursue and justify fiscal and economic policies that have made The Bahamas among the most unequal places on earth and continue to needlessly dampen its economic prospects.
Pastors and politics
Perhaps it’s because people have such bad memories that we can listen to a Pastor pontificate about a Prime Minister who wants to be God, or wants to be “a” god and not remember that it is actually a class of Pastors who have had a hand in creating the political monsters we have had to deal with since 1967.
It’s time to legalise cannabis
Fire can be one of the most destructive forces on the planet, but it also is one that has been a valuable asset to humanity when harnessed and wielded correctly. Many other natural things in life follow the same template – they can be fabulous tools for good or they can be misused when in the wrong hands.
Marijuana not priority
I am constrained to compliment The Bahamas Christian Council on two of its most recent decisions.
Time for isolation stations?
We all tend to think that everyone exists as we do, and although we know better, we often make life decisions based upon our own life’s paradigm.
What is the govt strategy?
We are in a complete crisis and this all across the world. Thousands of Bahamians are struggling daily, our economy is falling apart, jobs are at its lowest, and the virus at its highest.
The role of religion
The first thing to understand is a lot of religious leaders whilst being competent in theological matters are not necessarily well educated in other fields. Good orators, yes, and like magicians able to hold an audience’s attention but not intellectual powerhouses. There have been two issues in the last few days which highlight this.
Road Traffic backlog
The Ministry of Transport’s plan to reactivate the West Bay Street car-licensing facility is good news, but doesn’t go far enough.
Beware the paid vote
In our system of government, multiple functions and powers of the different branches are often vested in a single individual.
