Criticism of McCartney's decision
Dear Editor,
Word of advice to Branville McCartney
Dear Editor,
The power of negative media
Dear Editor,
We are a nation in deep crisis that I think is accepted by all thinking people. The monster of crime and violence threatens to devour our society. The economic storm clouds are ominous while indiscipline and social disorder run rampant across our island state. There seemingly is no end in sight.
Why Branville McCartney resigned
Dear Editor,
I'm only an observer but like Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham I was also not surprised that Branville McCartney resigned as Minister of State for Immigration. It's a pity because Mr. McCartney has promise as a newcomer to the political arena, but there are some lessons he needs to learn.
Does the NIB benefit The Bahamas?
Dear Editor,
Suggestions for reducing crime
Dear Editor,
I can enumerate the serious crimes that have directly impacted many persons I know within the last 60 days, but I am reluctant as it might engender more fear. Suffice it to say that I, like you, no doubt, am wondering: When will our government's resolve to deal with crime match or exceed that of bandits' determination to cause us harm?
Banks and the empowerment of citizens
Dear Editor,
Time for new leadership on crime issue
Dear Editor,
Please allow me a little space in your most esteemed publication to express a few thoughts on the current crime crisis in our beloved country.
Fixing our broken system
Dear Editor,
The government is slow to act
How quick the Bahamian government is to leap to do whatever some international agency suggests or advises. They say jump and our government says how high, and immediately passes laws to comply. Anything to please who is so far away. The implication is that our Bahamas is alert and sensitive. But is it no more than like a trained monkey though?
If our government is intelligent and sensitive, why does it not, without any outside intervention at all, see and hear what needs to be done to improve the quality of life for its citizens? For me, it is as if this country is not being governed, and we are all already in the hands of barbarians and have been left to their mercy.
Cry the beloved country: The recent Haiti earthquake
Dear Editor,
Culture and the voice of the people
Dear Editor,
A single shot rings out in the dead of night, disrupting the tranquility near one of our prime resort destinations; a motorcycle roars away disappearing with its ghostly assailant into a mist of mystery, leaving us to pick up the shattered pieces. |
