An open letter to Cable Bahamas
It was some years ago when a public outcry was made pertaining to the vulgarity on BET and eventually it was removed from the cable network.
Marital rape bill is a ploy
WHAT some people will do to get a vote never ceases to amaze me! It is now being said that Bran McCartney has been "black listed" because he opposes the Marital Rape Law. Join the club McCartney, I too do not believe in passing laws that cannot be enforced.

No man - or woman - is above the law
SHARP WORDS were exchanged last week at the Nassau Street magistrate's court complex between the police officer in charge of security and a lawyer, himself a former senior police officer, who objected to the new security measures that had been introduced just 10 days before.
It is time for drastic measures
Thank you for allowing me to address the letter by Mr Watkins. First of all I would like to thank you, Mr Watkins, for the great and special service you have given to our country as a police officer.
