Jamaica Gleaner Letters
published: Monday | August 25, 2003

Review the toll policy
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE CONTENTS of the full-page advertisement in The Gleaner dated August 18 regarding Notice of Intention to make Toll Order are nothing short of amazing, in two respects...

No sense in having dual nationality
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WRITE in regard to your recent article regarding the number of Jamaican nationals relinquishing their rights of citizenship, and also the parallels drawn between the U.S. and the U.K.


Go-Jamaica a good web site
THE EDITOR, Sir: I RECENTLY discovered your web site and was completely overjoyed. As a 15-year-old American of Jamaican and European descent, I usually do not get a direct connection to the Jamaican world.


Lie-detector tests useful
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM strongly of the opinion that giving polygraph (lie-detector) tests to suspected perpetrators of major crimes should be mandatory even if the results of such tests are inadmissible in a court of law.


EU's policy on agriculture
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM a Jamaican LL.M. student at Warwick University in the U.K. writing a dissertation on the compatibility of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy with the purposes and legal regime of the World Trade Organisation.


Unshackling our minds
THE EDITOR, Sir: WHEN I was younger I underestimated the effect that slavery still had on the psyche of our people and would view with scorn the utterings of those who viewed our lack of progress on slavery and the oppression...


Relax gun laws
THE EDITOR, Sir: I TAKE exception to opinions that the Jamaican crime problem is because of the proliferation of guns. Jamaican criminals who use guns prove that 'gun bans' are a failure in reducing 'gun crimes'.


Feelings of discomfort
THE EDITOR, Sir: DURING MY recent visit home, I visited the statue in Emancipation Park. It is not offensive to me personally, but made my young son uncomfortable.


Revenues from New Kgn park
THE EDITOR, Sir: WHILE THE entire nation continues to be so preoccupied with the subject of the infamous statues at Emancipation Park...


Fear coming back home
THE EDITOR, Sir: JAMAICA IS such a beautiful country - this, my homeland. But I am afraid to come back and reside. There are so many negative reports. I am not the only one who feels that way.
