Some national service could be the answer
Given the level of crime in our country I believe it’s time we reconsider compulsory national service for our youth (young men and women). Perhaps we could split the participants evenly across the defence and police forces and rotate them at the halfway mark of a two-year programme. I think the potential benefits to our youth and country would be tremendous and include:
Time to stop bickering and deal with each other
Crime continues to mar our lives in The Bahamas.
Are these cones legal?
I am fully aware there are strict rules as to blocking a road a such and alike the landscape people/workers do daily infant of Bah Mar.
Be part of the digital world
Bahamian retail businesses truly seem to want to remain in the backwater of the digital age. A Google search says that Visa does around 1,700 transactions per second on average (based on a calculation derived from the official claim of over 150 million transactions per day).
Changing leadership
Please be advised that contrary to Mr Abraham Moss’ assertion in today’s issue of The Tribune:
Foremost, Sir Cecil's parents were Bahamians by birth and at heart
Included with your newspaper on May 10, 2019 was a supplement written and produced by Rights Bahamas.
Fire department losing its relevance
For some time now I have been inking remarks about the state of the Bahamas Fire Brigade on New Providence Island.
Not the comfort we need
Whereas I am sure the president of the Senate, Mrs Forbes Smith, is legally allowed to practice her old profession in PR and communications strategy and I am equally sure the comments made by Mr Carl Bethell AG technically are correct, her defence that her position is rather mundane is not correct, Mrs Forbes Smith is a very important person and people listen to her in part because she is President of the Senate and her sphere of influence I would imagine is vast.
Time to find paper trail
Developments continue and projects are ongoing in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, but why do we seem to be always regressing in our understanding of the procedures and approvals required from our government agencies.
Does the BCC speak for you?
When the Bahamas Christian Council speaks on an issue who exactly do they talk for?
The colours of confusion
Can we or should we contrive that the choice of a particular colour means anything in the global spectrum of politics?
Nearly there – Carnival just needs some polishing
Carnival the presence of visitors participating - before we hear all kinds of crazy statistics let MOT give us their basic evaluation as I have not seen any photograph-video in the media or on social media that indicates that there was as the groups are now promoting ’000’s of visitors.
At best, it's all well-intentioned incompetence
Two years into Dr Minnis’ administration, it’s most ardent apologists increasingly find themselves shielding it with the excuse of well-intentioned incompetence.
Breach goes unnoticed
There was a breach of the Rules of Procedure of the House of Assembly on Wednesday (May 1) that apparently went unnoticed by members. I draw attention to it because it should not be regarded as regular or as a precedent.
Hard to spot the enemy
It seems that for many social commentators a cruel twist of the saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” requires that we abandon our Venezuelan neighbours to the wills of a military dictatorship determined to rape that country and all its resources.
