Three up and one down
As a trained lawyer and a strict constitutionalist, I will campaign for and support the passage of the first three of the proposed constitutional and gender equality bills. The fourth one, as it relates to the vague definition of ‘sex’ and its snide reference to gender, is the fabled Trojan Horse.
A Pointe-d error
Your readers don’t need me to elaborate on the storms of controversy swirling around the unfinished towers of Baha Mar and its Chinese bankers and contractors.
Signage at the airport
I have just returned from a pleasant visit to see friends in New Providence. My return home was, however, not assisted by the signage at the airport.
In answer to Pointe builders
We should all wish The Pointe project well. The people of The Bahamas don’t need another unfinished China Construction America project looming on their skyline, especially one at the gateway to its historic downtown.
Closer to equality
The Bahamas took a giant step forward Wednesday when House members put political differences aside to overwhelmingly support the four gender equality Bills.
Why I will be voting no
WEDNESDAY, March 2, 2016 has been hailed as an historic day by FNM and PLP parliamentarians, because of the passing of the four Constitutional Amendment Bills on gender equality in the legislature.
Cast your vote for our future
AS members of parliament voted on the constitutional equality bills yesterday, I am reminded that far too many people in The Bahamas are prejudiced against women; far too many people are bigots owing to their religious indoctrination; and far too many people are ignorant to their own human rights.
Mortgage companies
I understand before loaning money the lender naturally wishes to be secure but there surely is a limit. What is Mortgage Insurance?
A word to Michael Scott
There are some people and things that truly do not deserve the attention they seek, but I just couldn’t help myself.
Gray’s violent rhetoric
MICAL MP Alfred Gray’s challenge to Fort Charlotte MP Dr Andre Rollins ‘‘to join him outside’’ Parliament whenever he is ready may have been amusing to those present in the House, but to the thousands of responsible, law-abiding denizens of Nassau, it underscored the gratuitous violence gripping the beleaguered capital.
FNM must unite to end crisis
The Free National Movement (FNM) is in a political crisis of epic proportions. There is no continuity of opposition and it appears to be getting worse.
Why I won’t vote
The proposed Referendum - simply I do not intend participating nor any of my direct and indirect family will as a protest for the Christie Government making a total mockery of the Numbers Referendum. I recommend everyone else to do the same.
Our shame over Cabbage Beach
I have, for my own purposes, visited Cabbage Beach prior to the lawless demonstrations that took place on Monday. We should all hang our heads in shame.

On Sunday past, February 21, 2016, I had the pleasure of attending the homegoing service of Ms Avis Marina Sands at 2.30pm. At the “Historic Cathedral in the south”, St Agnes, where she was a pillar and stalwart member, who worshipped with her family faithfully for many years, “according to the Rector Reverend I Ranfurly Brown,” whose comprehensive, theological discourse was well received, assisted by Father’s Stephen Davies, Neil Nairn, Canon Warren Rolle. it was a lovely homegoing service.
Did China assess Baha Mar?
This past week, there were a lot of articles concerning Baha Mar – a lot of speculation and conjectures and I was wondering whether the government of The People’s Republic of China might have carried out an investigation as to why Baha Mar applied for protection under US Chapter 11 and subsequently applied to the Courts of The Bahamas for ratification of the US Chapter 11 Petition seeing that Baha Mar had presumably borrowed enough to cover everything?
