A culture shock
WHEN AS a founding member of the Jamaican Council for Human Rights. I was elected its first treasurer I was seriously opposed to capital punishment. Hanging seemed barbarous.
Carib court is overdue
MAYBE THE reasons for opposing the withdrawal of Jamaica from the jurisdiction of the English Privy Council are crystal clear to those legal luminaries among others, who do so, but as a rank layman, I am puzzled.
Its time to love again
THE FIRST time I visited Jamaica was in 1990, when I was working in Kingston as a young rural engineer on a student exchange programme.
A good cartoon
KINDLY ALLOW me to congratulate Las May for his apt description of Jamaica as it appeared in The Gleaner, May 1, 2000, depicting a serpent killing itself by injecting its venom into its own body.
Vacillating on capital punishment!
HOW LONG are we going to vacillate about capital punishment? Our children are being murdered; our women are being assassinated; the innocent are being slaughtered.
Disappointed in educational system
I AM the father of a 10-year-old attending the Mandeville All-Age School. Though not in Jamaica. |
