The Editor, Sir:

There are many praying for your island at this moment. Many have known it would maybe take a civil war to make things change. Most of all we pray for the pickney dem. I pray everyone returns to church at real values. When I first visited Jamaica in 1978, I thought it must be the Garden of Eden ... there was no TV either, no videos. The American media is responsible for the violence youth learned to imitate without understanding the production for 'entertainment'. When I went to Kingston in '96, I remember the shanty homes with wires thrown over the electric lines for cable and TV reception. Learn not these things from foreign. Let God back in your hearts deeply. God bless and keep you all, land that I love.

I am, etc.,
