Going into a year of hope
If no one else in The Bahamas believes that I am a prophet, I do. Please, my beloved fellow Bahamians, do not take this assertion as an attempt to big up myself or a vain one to convince any reader to accept whatever I might say or prognosticate without a dose of Morton Salt.

National pride - is it worth the price we pay?
Recent events have caused me to focus more closely at the given circumstances and I can only conclude that decisions have been taken in the name of “National Pride” but nobody has questioned at what cost.

What does disturb me, however, is that decisions seem to be taken in the name of “National Pride” yet they are detrimental to the country as a whole. Let’s look at recent events:
