Was change of subject deliberate?
WAS it on purpose that Minister of State Legal Affairs raised the issue of Marital Rape?
Marital rape
KINDLY permit space in your valued paper for an urgent and deeply felt comment regarding a statement recently attributed to the Minister of Social Services on the burning issue of marital rape.
Wastage in government
We hear the PM and the Minister for Foreign Affairs attended the Bahamas Embassy Christmas party in Washington last Friday, I believe.
We need change
IT is extremely unfortunate the government does not seem to understand that in order for us to have lasting prosperity and success as a nation there are areas in which our culture must change. It is not enough to simply try to bolster the economy and provide jobs, while the greater percentage of our people live like animals in the jungle. The core values of our people must be addressed.
Act on bank charges
The Central Bank must no doubt act and act quickly as there is such large discrepancy’s in Bank Charges under certain headings that it has to be questioned.
Pointless Popeye
Why The Popeye’s Bowl? Do we make any money from it?
Same old selling out
IT seems to me that we have bred a country of sell-outs. It seems that while in opposition everyone speaks up for the Bahamian people. It seems like while outside of government everyone and has the Bahamian people’s business as priority number one. Sadly, once elected and they enter the House of Assembly, they become ‘itches’ and ‘snitches’. They leave their bravery in their civilian jacket pocket, or way in the back of their closet, and they promptly fall in line and goose-step right into the political status quo.
No Office of the Spouse
OFFICE of Spouses for politicians? No, no, no... they are unelected and if this was implemented the sole reason would be to add state funding to the political office through the back door.
When in Rome . . .
INVESTORS spend/invest billions and create restaurants which are all of an international theme - does this make any sense?
Carnival and political duplicity
RECENTLY, Minister of Youth, Sports, and Culture Michael Pintard confirmed that the FNM government will continue the PLP government’s ill-conceived carnival, but with a few changes. While I’m truly disappointed by the announcement, I’m honestly not surprised. My lack of surprise is based on the fact that I have long come to realise that many Bahamian politicians take positions on issues while in opposition that are based on convenience, not conscience. Their true position is revealed when they hold the reins of power, as is now being seen with Minister Pintard and the FNM government’s new-found position on carnival.
Anarchy on the roads
Is there a minister in charge of traffic? If so, where is he?

Haitian nationality
WE have been quick to speak of the constitutional rights the children of illegal immigrants have regarding citizenship in The Bahamas, but one crucial point has been overlooked, the children of illegal Haitians are in fact Haitian citizens.
