Gambling is really 'theft by consent'
THE EDITOR, Sir: THIS IN response to the letter 'Where does the Bible prohibit gambling?' published Wednesday, July 28. Before real discussion begins on gambling, one has to get behind the glitz and false hope pushed by the gambling promoters.
Count your blessings
THE EDITOR, Sir: IT WAS with some regret that I read the letter of the Eastern Caribbean student published in The Gleaner on July 26 under the caption 'Others rise as Jamaica falls'.
Thanks, request granted
THE EDITOR, Sir: SOMETIME AGO I wrote a letter re: the request for signatures to the American Postal Services for a stamp in commemoration of Paul Robeson.
Who will protect us?
THE EDITOR, Sir: IRREVERANCE OF law and order at different levels of the society is like a millstone around the neck of the nation. And the nation cries, "Who will protect me?"
Investigate unscrupulous officials
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE IMPEACHMENT proposal that has been suggested by the back-benchers in the House of Parliament is long overdue. Too many Members of Parliament and public servants align themselves with people of ill repute.
Find a new approach, Ja
THE EDITOR, Sir: JAMAICA'S APPROACH to policing is a panicking one. My family, including my son, is at present in the UK. My son has two toy guns which look very much like the real thing.
Back to reality
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE LESSON to be learnt from the recent overtures by Jamaica into the 'puss in bag' recommendation, 'Greenfield' in Trelawny, seems more 'Dreamfield' in fairyland.
Refreshing honesty
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WRITE this letter in regard to a piece in The Sunday Gleaner titled 'The politician-don connection: let's be honest' by Orville Taylor.
'He who laughs last...'
THE EDITOR, Sir: PLEASE ALLOW me to express concerns over certain 'aliens' in our territory. This is in response to a letter published in The Gleaner on Monday, July 26, written by D. Alleyene.
Good job, Keisha
THE EDITOR, Sir: KEISHA SHAKESPEARE did a wonderful job with her article titled 'Feast for the eyes, music for the ears' in yesterday's Gleaner.
Grave injustice!
THE EDITOR, Sir: FOR THE past two years I was employed as a firefighter, working in the Clarendon division. On May 28, at the Jamaica Fire Brigade headquarters, I was informed that my services were no longer required.
Stop raping the poor!
THE EDITOR, Sir: I HAVE just read Mr. Lozer's letter published yesterday, and I must say that it was with much trepidation.
