Taking our country back
In the annals of contemporary Bahamian political history, this past week will perhaps be recorded as the start of the campaign for the general elections of 2017.

A good number of Bahamians are so enamored of the U.S. political system that they breezily adopt language that it is not necessarily germane to The Bahamas.
