Morality should express the ethics that manage our behaviour. Without these ethics in place, humanity cannot survive. We have lost track of our right to sexual privacy and our moral obligations to our country have been placed on the back burner. There can be no intelligence, whether non-natural or natural, without a set of standards.

Our children are growing up in a place of confusion and disorder and are obviously grasping the bad much faster than the good. We behave as if these children brought themselves into this world and blame everyone except the persons who are responsible for our country's moral breakdown. The mothers and fathers of our nation need to be reminded of their function and we need to compel them by law to play this function.

LAW ENFORCERS

If we recruit the entire Jamaican population as policemen and soldiers, it still would not restore peace and order to our country. A policeman or soldier without proper morals and optimistic values or ethical principles, is just like a face without eyes. If we have reached the point of serious consideration for the restoration of capital punishment, we can definitely consider making morals laws.

Our people break the rules of the land which are governed by laws, why would they abide by the ones which are governed by free will? We have to make some serious sacrifice if we are to give our future generations a chance to exist in a crime-free and peaceful country.

I am, etc.,
