Shame of violence
Come on Jamaica, is it not time to let the old-fashioned political strategies remain in the 20th century and let the 21st century acknowledge our lives and well-being and bring new beginnings for our children and our loved ones.
What are these backward steps? About the old wild west, or the new computer age we deemed for families and associates? Were we not one of the most loving and friendliest nations spoken about all over the world? Come on, join together and love each other, not hate each other.
There will be prosperity ofour nation and our country, also our fellow countrymen who are so ashamed to come home becauseof violence.

Fix the date
With all the labalaba about a fixed election date, let's get it done. The voices against it only wish to see our people held to ransom by a system they control.
Imagine, my friend Edward Seaga (a man from our past) whose legacy is a garrison named Tivoli, discouraging a move in the interest of the many.
Let's go Jamaica, and let's also take care of the many other changes that are necessary.

Garrison ReformWhat I think should happen in my homeland, is to reorganise the garrison constituencies. It is time for us as a nation to act more intelligently, because we can achieve grea if we make up our mind to do it.
One of our greatest sources of inspiration is our National Anthem. Wake up, Jamaicans and surprise the world!

No to visaMy wife and I are retired and have enjoyed vacationing in Jamaica several times a year. But if you enforce this CARICOM visa on us, as it was for the Cricket World Cup games at $100.00 per visit etc., we will not be coming back to your Caribbean for our future vacations, but will go elsewhere.
