Overwhelming hypocrisy

Statistically around 1 1/2% to 2% of the world’s population is homosexual and/or bisexual.

An example of how not to talk to the boss

I wish every school-age child of The Bahamas would get a copy of the November 19 edition of The Tribune in order to read the front page article about the Bahamas Taxi Cab Union (BTCU) and its ongoing disagreement with Transport Minister Renward Wells.

We need some optimism

As I examine the history of the Bahamas I notice a shift from determinate optimism to indeterminate pessimism.

Simple breach of contract

Millions lost in computer fiasco - hasn’t the good Minister an appreciation of simple breach of contract of the provider?

Don't talk about crime – you will never win

If I held either the position of Minister for National Security or Commissioner of Police I would be exceptionally careful when and if I made public comments on crime…you never win.

Cut us some slack, please

The nation is in a treadmill sort of mode, in my view. This statement is not to generate a sense of anxiety but one designed, deliberately, to bring to the forefront those issues of public policy and initiatives which directly impact the quality of life and well being of tens of thousands of ordinary Bahamians, if there are any of them left.

Time to dispense with military side of police

Is it long overdue to change the military posture of the Royal Bahamas Police to a pure appearance of a civil Police Force?

My home is now a liability

Please allow a tax paying Bahamian citizen a space within your news outlet to voice a few concerns. With a heavy and frustrated heart, I write to you with regards to the home I have purchased through the Ministry of Housing within the last housing exercise. This home that I have counted as an asset has over the few short years become a liability.

Biting the hand that feeds

Franklin Graham is the son of the legendary Billy Graham -- a man who has preached the gospel to more people in person than anyone in church history. He is also the president and CEO of the humanitarian organisation, Samaritan’s Purse, which was founded in 1970 by the late Bob Pierce.

Always a flooding issue

FISH Hole Road/Causeway has for years been an issue from flooding…spend $8-10 million surely problems solved? Not even with the rains and high tide, no tropical storm or hurricane Saturday the Police had to close the new $10m replacement causeway as it was unsafe.

It's time to change

Were it not for the tragic context, it would be difficult not to see the humour in a country so comically backward that its court system can be used to stop the government’s demolition of illegal, substandard shanty towns, only to have them demolished by a Hurricane between hearings, killing hundreds.
