While due care must be taken to ensure proper laws are passed, it takes way too long, in many instances, for laws to be made in Jamaica. Recall just how long it took, approximately 20 years, for our Constitution to be amended to provide for a modern Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.
THE EDITOR, Sir:Robust economic growth continues to elude us, precipitating an overwhelming debt burden and a weakening dollar, in spite of those International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreements we have signed within the last 40 years.
THE EDITOR, Sir:I extend congratulations to Pastor Bruce Fletcher and to The Gleaner for the Letter of the Day in the Friday, December 7, 2012 edition captioned 'Jamaica's prodigal crossroads'.
THE EDITOR, Sir:I think all high schools in Jamaica should be operated on a shift system, and an extended academic year should be implemented in these institutions.
THE EDITOR, Sir:I stand in solidarity with all those who are in opposition to the gay lifestyle in Jamaica. The editor and 'ass. editor' of The Gleaner seem to be actively engaging in gay-rights lobbying of late.
THE EDITOR, Sir: I have read with interest the lead story in The Gleaner ('Shun gay lifestyle', Monday, December 10, 2012) about the recent speech by a South African pastor/lawyer about homosexuality, as well as Justice Minister Mark Golding's careful comments on the possible repeal of the buggery law.

However, all this is about to change.
Recently, I was forced to submit a letter of complaint to the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) over an incident in which I was abused for objecting to someone singing Christian songs loudly in a state-owned bus, i.e., by the singer and a supporter of hers. I suspect that the singing was a clever attempt to avoid the new rule.
It was quite fitting that Dr Orville Taylor's column of Sunday, December 9, 2012 was partially titled 'more bull'. Outside some cutesy metaphors and double entendres, your article severely lacked credible substance.
It is quite disheartening how the State is treating our children. The same persons who are supposed to protect them are the same ones abusing them, while professing their love for them!
I am a concerned and disgruntled citizen from the parish of St Thomas. I'm positively sure I'm not the only one feeling angry about the matter I'm about to discuss, but others just won't speak up, so I will.
Some weeks ago, a miracle happened in Mona. Workers started to fix the potholes. But, alas, this was but a dream, as the work done was all in vain. These potholes were neatly cut and filled with marl, with the hope that asphalt would have been placed on these shortly thereafter.
Why is The Gleaner bothering to publish the article 'The next 50 years: grow the economy' (Gleaner, December 6, 2012)? We all know that unless there is the political will, our so-called leaders, despite their often loud denials, 'buy' their votes. This has created the 'licky-licky' mentality we see everywhere in our society today.
The citizens of Whitewater Meadows, Chedwin Gardens and Greater Hartlands were forced to mount a protest action earlier on Monday, December 3 to voice their utter disgust at the deplorable state of the Hartlands Road, which is the only access route to these communities.
The appreciable slide in the value of the Jamaican currency can only be compared to the tremendous slide in belief where the newly elected government is concerned.
THE EDITOR, Sir:I am alarmed, confused and downright disgusted about most of the politicians who have put themselves forward as our country's representatives.
Below are reactions by readers of www.jamaica-gleaner.com to yesterday's cover story,'Rogue election body'.Shining light on corruptionMrs Monroe-Ellis is emerging to be the female version of Mr Greg Christie, the former contractor general.
THE EDITOR, Sir:I AM totally disturbed about the fact that Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Radcliffe Lewis has warned that persons who preach the gospel on public transportation would be prosecuted.
