THE EDITOR, Sir:

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Mr. Golding, it is time to stop. Mrs. Simpson Miller is now Prime Minister and her position deserves respect, even if she is not your choice. I would like to see her focus on development, restoration, safety, etc. Then later we can begin to start distracting her with debates, and all the things that will cause her to not focus on what needs to be done. There must be some time lapse, after which time, maybe at election, we can debate what she did, did not do, or could not do.

The majority of the members of both parties are like stones cemented in a pavement, so neither the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) nor the People's National Party (PNP) can throw stones at each other. You are all guilty of the same crime, that is, Jamaica's social, economic and political position today. I can only identify the distractions taking place with what my Professor Carl Stone once told us in a lecture - politicians who distract the people with quarrels so that they do not see the real problems facing them. I also see the actions like that of dogs fighting over a bone (not that I am calling anyone a dog) and while they fight, another will just pass by and take what they fight over. Also, all of us who went to primary school in Jamaica learnt about the fox and the crow. We must become wise and not be distracted with quarrels and early debates.

Stop the infighting

Mr. Golding could be described as flip-flop, as he left the JLP, tried his thing, it did not work and he came back, trying another thing. Why spend so much energy fighting when we can start working as a team, and when the team leader changes, that new leader can design, implement and manage those project he/she is responsible for?

It is time to stop. Jamaica is still crumbling in many places, but when we are in the situation for such a long time, we accept that situation, consider it the norm, or we get to the point where we do not see the terrible situation we are living in.

I am, etc.,
