The current administration should be up and doing with bringing to parliament amendments to the statute laws which would guarantee Bahamians rights to gambling, gaming and all other such activities allowed tourists. In this regard, we insist that the so-called ‘debate’ concerning the numbers business had as much to do with righteousness, as it clearly […]

Bahamas Renewal
Posted on 09 April 2013.
One of the more interesting social phenomena in this truly paradoxical place has to do with the extent to which Bahamians routinely bemoan a high and rising crime rate – especially murder run amok – while all the while, they artfully ignore the extent to which these same people routinely condone the awful abuse of […]

Rank Hypocrisy
Posted on 19 February 2013.
When it comes to hypocrisy-exposed, some of this nation’s religious and other so-called holy ones rank high. Sadly, when it comes to caring for the needs of the captive or bringing succor to those who are being exploited and distressed, these types are nowhere to be found.
