Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Monday | November 12, 2007

EDITORIAL - The heroes of Bog Walk gorge
The Bog Walk gorge in St. Catherine is infamous for its ancient Flat Bridge which has weathered the flood waters of the Rio Cobre for centuries. The dangers of flooding in the gorge made news in recent weeks from the heavy rains that fell in the wake of Hurricane Dean in late August.

Racism there and here

Sadly, racism is alive and well in the twenty-first century. Hate, intolerance and prejudice persist in many 'developed' countries. Nooses (the ultimate symbols of racism, cruelty and injustice) have been placed in several public locations throughout America... - Garth Rattray

NOTE-WORTHY - Hang them!

I say hang them ! Remember hanging is the punishment for the crime, some anti-capital punishment persons claim it is not a deterrent (if hanging isn't, then what else is!!).Even if it isn't a deterrent it is the ultimate punishment for taking another life.
