It is quite clear that lawlessness prevails throughout the island. How can this be the situation when churches are widespread across the country?
It should be expected that every Christian communion feels the responsibility to instil righteousness in the minds of the youth. The leadership of churches needs to feel committed to the promotion of righteousness in every area of life throughout the nation's activities.
Our homeland, under God has to turn around this sad state of our country.

More on noise
I refer to Doreen Rhoden's letter published on March 27 about night noises which disturbed her at Fisherman's Point, Ocho Rios.
Ms Rhoden is fortunate that she does not live next door at Turtle Beach Towers. There, we are disturbed not only by noises from Ocean's 11 and Margaritaville, but also from Bamboo Beach Club, Tropical Vibes, Hard Rock Café, and the boomboxes on the vendors' carts at the side entrance to Island Village.

Six-lane expansion
The project to convert a section of Marcus Garvey Drive into six lanes is progressing rapidly, based on Jamaican standards. My greatest concern is for the pedestrian - the road being so wide.
I hope that adequate provisions will be made to enable pedestrians to go from one side of the corridor to the other without endangering or putting themselves through any more risks than they currently encounter.

A victim
From the information provided via the media, Kevin Brown is not a bad man, he is victim who is grieving and he is hurting. He is a product of the United States of America and he is crying out for help.
The American government needs to assist him and not just abandon/deport him. He is their problem, not Jamaica's; we have enough of our own problems to deal with. America must take responsibility; they take our young people and send them to Iraq and when they come back and need psychological help, there is none.
It is time the great America stands up and takes full responsibility for its action.
