LETTER TO THE EDITOR: UN’s response to Major improper

Dear Editor, I was appalled at the manner and nature of the response of the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women, to Rex Major’s publicly expressed concerns about marital rape. There was no attempt to address the concerns or points of argument in Rex Major’s remarks; and therefore there was […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: GB should have a private airport

Dear Editor, Former Prime Minister Hubert Minnis, with his usual lack of foresight, went ahead and purchased the Grand Bahama International Airport for $1, meaning this formerly privately-owned and now severely damaged asset is the problem of the Bahamian Public. While in London last week, Davis announced that it is his government would borrow $200 […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Where can The Bahamas look to create new job opportunities?

Dear Editor: Tourism and services account for more than half of the country’s GDP and slightly more than half of the workforce. However, the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the economy, wiping out tens of thousands of jobs. Although there has not been a labor force survey since December 2019, government agencies and outside organizations believe the […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: End corporal punishment now!

Dear Editor, It is unfathomable that in the 21st century, teachers and parents are beating our children to a pulp. ALL teachers and parents who resort to beating lack communication skills. Before I delve too deep into this unaccepted behavior, I suggest all teachers have a psychological evaluation before hiring. We must know what kind […]

Letter to the Editor: Stop waiting on ‘the government them’

Dear Editor, All of my life so far, I have been and remained adherent to the overt proposition that many Bahamians, across the economic, societal, and religious spectrums are simply too lazy and usually seek the ‘easy’ way out. There are pockets of Bahamians who constantly and consistently ‘complain’ that things are tough and that […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Lincoln Bain is a menace

Dear Editor, Some time ago a video of a loud, armed, visibly impassioned man appeared on social media – it was none other than Lincoln Bain shooting a gun into the air. The response was swift and equally emotional. Well-to-do, college-educated Bahamians choked on their Chablis as they stampeded to the virtual square to voice […]
