Jamaica Gleaner Letters
published: Wednesday | August 13, 2003

Teach the children self-respect
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM heartened by the discussion generated by Mr. Ernie Smith's impractical suggestion. Indeed it is worth all the verbal castigation inflicted on him.

Beware of robot taxis
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WISH to relate an incident that I believe would have ended in tragedy if the Lord did not intervene.


Constructing a rugby mini-stadium
THE EDITOR, Sir: RUGBY IS currently a minor sport in Jamaica. Though it has experienced exponential growth over the last five years, we accept that football, cricket and basketball are the major team sports on our island.


In search of Greta Foster
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WOULD like to use this medium to contact an old friend. Her name is Greta Foster and she is from Dry River, near Maggotty in St Elizabeth.


Serious tax collection
THE EDITOR, Sir: DO YOU think the government really wants to increase tax collection? I think not. When you look at the different methods of payment available to us for paying C&W bills, you have to come to this conclusion.


No place like Jamaica
THE EDITOR, Sir: A COUNTRY struggling with a national debt in the billions, crime being carved into our culture, a government that seems to be out of ideas. However, once it's party time there is no place like Jamaica.


Expensive airfares
THE EDITOR, Sir: I'M WRITING in regard to a letter dated July 30th, the grave concern of the writer of which was the very expensive airfare that we Jamaicans living in the Bahamas have to pay when we are going to Jamaica.


Cleaning teeth is expensive business
THE EDITOR, Sir: The article about pensioners and the prices they pay for dental work was surprising.


A barbaric practice
THE EDITOR, Sir: HOW COULD someone in Jamaica of all countries come up with the sick idea of sterilisation for women? ...


Good job Facey-Cooper
The Editor Sir: I WHOLEHEARTEDLY commend your balanced editorial (August 6, 2003) re the artistic merits of the Emancipation Park sculpture.
