Unfair comparisons
published: Thursday | June 1, 2006

THE EDITOR, Sir:

IT IS time that we become positive participants in creating solutions as opposed to pointing fingers and engaging ourselves in futile rhetoric. It is disheartening to open the daily newspapers and see the same headlines and commentaries over and over. The continuous pessimistic and barren discussions will get us nowhere.

It is also very unfair and wrong for anyone, including our pundits, to keep comparing Jamaica to the USA or Asia. That is analogous to comparing apples to oranges. It is also hypocritical for Jamaicans residing abroad, tolerating racism and other social and economic ills, to incessantly criticise our country.

Let us now take the time we have on earth to being a part of the solution. Let us brainstorm together; hold our MPs and elected officials accountable.

I am, etc.,
