I know that the reggae dancehall artistes can be more responsible for the types of songs they are singing. Producers are accountable for the derogatory music they are putting in the public domain. They should refuse to produce such slackness to protect the morality of the country.

Then the broadcast media, because of the same gluttony, play them on the air. This is unleashing hell's stench on decent people who want to hear better stuff. If the media continue to throw this dirt in our faces, we will have no choice but to turn them off.

Don't get me wrong - there is adult space, decent space, chil-dren's space and general space where everyone can look and listen without beeping and cutting out sections of a song or programme. This is the standard the media should uphold and they should stop the disrespect that they are showing to the Jamaican people.

General invitation

When it is dinner time at my home, everyone comes to the table for it is a general invitation for all to eat and only food that everyone can partake of is served at the table. When its bedtime, I go to my bedroom with my wife after making sure that all is secure, and then we close our room door.

Whatever my wife and I do behind that closed door is not shared with my children at any time, nor do we discuss such things at the dinner table at general assembly.

So it should be with the artiste, producer, and especially those in the media who are responsible to distribute such information, whatever method is used.

The media determine which horse comes out and when such a horse comes out and they are failing in their responsibility.

The media are the police for information and entertainment. They must protect the morals and dignity of our country so that our children will not suffer the abuse they are dealing with today from our dancehall artistes.

I am, etc.,
