Bahamas Post Editorial: Ship Bradley Roberts Off With The Next Dog Shipment
Mark Da Cunha | 20th April 2010A non-profit group – the Grand Bahama Humane Society -- saves the lives of eighty-eight Bahamian dogs by having them shipped to the United States – a noble and humanitarian act – and the best the PLP Chairman Bradley Roberts can do is to whine like a potcake over the foreign media coverage?
On April 22, Celebrate Exploit-the-Earth Day
Craig Biddle | 14th April 2010Because Earth Day is intended to further the cause of environmentalism--and because environmentalism is an anti-human ideology--on April 22, those who care about human life should not celebrate Earth Day; they should celebrate Exploit-the-Earth Day.

The Meaning of New Year's Resolutions
Alex Epstein | 1st January 2010Making New Year's resolutions does not have to be futile--and to make them is not silly; done seriously, it is an act of profound moral significance that embodies the essence of a life well-lived.
Bahamas Brain Drain: CA Smith's Not So Bold Idea
Mark Da Cunha | 23rd December 2009Smart people like freedom.

Columbus Day Celebrates Western Civilization
Thomas A. Bowden | 11th October 2009We need not evade or excuse Columbus’s flaws--his religious zealotry, his enslavement and oppression of natives--to recognize that he made history by finding new territory for a civilization that would soon show mankind how to overcome the age-old scourges of slavery, war, and forced religious conversion.

The Bahamas Prime Minister lays it on the line. Another missed opportunity perhaps?

The Danger of Environmentalism
Michael Berliner | 20th April 2009The expressed goal of environmentalism is to prevent man from changing his environment, from intruding on nature. That is why environmentalism is fundamentally anti-man. Intrusion is necessary for human survival. For environmentalism, the "natural" world is a world without man. Man has no legitimate needs, but trees, ponds, and bacteria somehow do.
The Real Meaning of Earth Hour
Keith Lockitch | 26th March 2009It is true that the importance of Earth Hour is its symbolic meaning. But that meaning is the opposite of the one intended. The lights of our cities and monuments are a symbol of human achievement, of what mankind has accomplished in rising from the cave to the skyscraper. Earth Hour presents the disturbing spectacle of people celebrating those lights being extinguished. Its call for people to renounce energy and to rejoice at darkened skyscrapers makes its real meaning unmistakably clear: Earth Hour symbolizes the renunciation of industrial civilization.

Edwin A. Locke | 12th January 2009On Martin Luther King Day--and every day--we should focus on the proper antidote to racism and the proper alternative to racial thinking: individualism.

Letter to the Editor: The Famous Nassau Straw Market Shocker & The Forgotten Man
The Nassau Institute | 9th January 2009To build a market for the cost originally intended ($18,000,000) is morally wrong because it places the cost burden on the population that derives no material benefit and may even be harmed by the unsavoury image. The days are long gone when the market added “local culture” and the fun of bargaining for Bahamian-made straw work.
