LETTER OF THE DAY - Portmore has deteriorated drastically
THE EDITOR, Sir: IT IS my opinion that the chief purpose of a letter to the Editor is to vent (one's feelings), as little visible action ever comes from the complaints sprawled across the pages of the Gleaner. Well, vent I shall.
What is wrong with being different?
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM ashamed for the harm that has come to the eleventh grader of Dunoon Park Technical High School in East Kingston. We have neglected him as we allowed ourselves to be carried away in believing that he is a second class citizen of...
'Zero tolerance on violent behaviour'
THE EDITOR, Sir: I READ with dismay the article in one of the daily newspapers titled 'Father encourages students to maul 'gay' son at Dunoon Tech'. The father of the young man should be ashamed of himself. It leaves me to wonder what type of father...

Air Canada the on-time airline
THE EDITOR, Sir: LAST WEEK there appeared in The Gleaner on two consecutive days, bad reports about Air Canada. (Brian Williams, Boo to Air Canada and Marcel Robinson's 'Displeased, Dissatisfied').
'Regressivity in taxation'
THE EDITOR, Sir: I JUST want to comment on the letter written by John Williams titled "Jamaica's unfair tax system". I must say that Williams is completely correct in his assessment of the tax system.
Cut double standards
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM deeply concerned about the article printed in The Sunday Gleaner about the appointment of the president of the Caribbean Court of Justice.
