What's right with Jamaica
THE EDITOR, Sir: WHILE THERE is an abundance of negative issues on which talk-show hosts and news editors engorge themselves daily, I wish to highlight a very positive observation: the annual Maroon festivities in Accompong Town.
The case of a few bad apples
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE MAJORITY of Jamaican immigrants in Britain are decent and law-abiding. However, the minority have once again contributed to the unhappiness of the majority.
Should they be compensated?
THE EDITOR, Sir: THERE HAVE been several discussions about the United Kingdom compensating the Rastafarian for the slave labour. However, there has not been any talk about the African Chiefs compensating the Rastafarian.
Pantomime can be our medicine
THE EDITOR, Sir: ON A recent visit to Jamaica, I had pleasure of attending the current pantomime, Miss Annie. I must say, it was a pleasure, a real treat to be transformed back in time, and for a few hours, even forget about the hardships in Jamaica.
We need to bring about a change
THE EDITOR, Sir: JAMAICA IS a wonderful country. Like any other country, we have bad citizens but it appears that we take the blame for every evil act committed by blacks in any country that we live or visit.
No visa required!
THE EDITOR, Sir: SOME YEARS ago, I contacted the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm regarding visiting their country. The Swedish word for a Jamaican woman is Jamaikanska and American Amerikanska.
