Munroe’s comments reflect our society
When Wayne Munroe, QC and prominent attorney, made his asinine comment suggesting that illegal immigrants, and particularly Haitians, should be flogged as a deterrent to illegal migration to the Bahamas, he was met with nearly universal condemnation from the Bahamian public.
A need to deal with crime
At 4.40am on Sunday, I lay in my bed and listened to the multiple gunshots that took the life of a young Bahamian husband, father, son and entrepreneur Michael Deangelo Bethel while seriously injuring his wife and two other travelling companions.
More reasons to check bills
I thank Nicole Burrows’ for her Politicole article on December 22 entitled “Check your BTC bills (and Cable Bahamas)” which addressed some of her unhappy and unfortunate billing experiences with the two communications monopolies in this country.
Upset over choir row at Memories
On this past Christmas Eve night, the Grand Bahama Youth Choir – upon the invitation of the Memories Entertainment Director – put on a command performance at the Memories Resort at Lucaya for guests.
Waiting for eyes to open
The Bible book of Genesis, Chapter 2, speaking of Adam and Eve, ends with “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
The bridge and illusions
Another Christmas has come and gone. On that date this year we recorded yet another alleged homicide and, according to the police, another suspected suicide.
Munroe’s talk
Of late, several remarks made by Wayne Munroe, QC, have been very troubling to me.

Carmita Edwards
It was with a great sense of sadness that I learned of the death of the late Carmita Louise Edwards.
Corporal punishment
Wayne Munroe’s statement-opinion is irrational and does not take into consideration The Bahamas commitments to UN and UNHCR Conventions.
Flights to Cuba
Has anyone else taken note of the agreement that was signed between Cuba and the US Government on December 16th that will allow as many as 110 scheduled flights daily between those countries?
Children are our future
Thank you for your support, as it relates to building a better and stronger Bahamas, knowing that your newspaper’s letters column does play a vital role in the development of The Bahamas and the way forward. Again thank you for your space.
Christmas cheer with a grain of salt
Let me pour a bit of cheer in your Christmas egg-nog - mixed with a grain of salt.
Poor motorbike show
On Sunday, December 20, my family and I attended the 242 All Star Peace and Love Motorbike Showcase and Stunt Competition. Sad to say that the reputation for event organisation in this country has yet another black mark against it.
