Self-righteous behaviour
When will the People's National Party (PNP) wake up to reality that they have lost the election? Their behaviour speaks loudly to their arrogance. What's with this sudden self-righteous behaviour in claiming to uphold the constitution which they have ignored for years.
This tells me that only pay attention to the constitution when things are not in their favour. They need to put away their pettiness and allow the new government to run the country for a better life for all of us Jamaicans. We are so tired of their arrogance and hypocrisy, they need to just move on for the betterment of this country which is owned by all Jamaicans and not just the PNP.
With the kind of burden that was left for the new Government, the finance ministry definitely needs more than three ministers to sort out the tangled web that was weaved.

Way to go!
Some time ago, I wrote admonishing James Robertson (et al) following your publication of a photograph of him riding a motorcycle without a helmet, in breach of the law.
In yesterday's Sunday Gleaner was yet another photograph of a sartorially elegant and helmeted James on his commuter bike. Way to go, Minister James!

Male incentives
As a university student, the recent headlines highlighting the lack of males at this level of the education system worries me.
As an interim measure, I support a lowering of the matriculation standards for males in conjunction with offering more technical options for males especially in information technology. When more males leave the community for university, it provides an incentive for others behind, in very much the same way inclination to violence in some communities breeds more violent males. We need a solution, so let's lower the bar as a start.

Coming together
The time has now come for Jamaica to take its rightful place inside the west. The single most negative factor is crime.
First and foremost, we need to make politics less of a priority for our day to day influence. One most come to see our little country as the heart of the Caribbean. Governments , and citizens alike must feel like they all have a part to play and a stake in the results. The Church needs to play a greater role in reaching out to the people. We are good at sport. We must come together to accomplish and succeed as a people and a nation. Please people of these little nation, let's come together to make it happen!

Hail the singing judge
I live in Canada, and I was pleasantly surprised to have woken up to such 'great news' after reading an article in your Sunday newspaper regarding my beloved 'big sis', the judge/singer Carol Gonzalez.
You see, my sister epitomises the essence of true soul - when she sings and this was always her life, of course, separate and apart from her real 'true love' (her husband, Dr. Vernon Dacosta).
So. you can understand the gush of emotions that filled my heart when I read the news. Allow me space to say 'congratulations', big sis. Love and blessings in your quest for greatness in the music world.
