Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Wednesday | January 31, 2007

EDITORIAL - Government by committee
Prime Minister Simpson Miller has fudged when she should have acted with firmness and clarity. In that regard, her administration is assuming the worst attributes of her predecessor's, P.J. Patterson.

Preparing the next generation

The preparation of the next generation is a daunting task for parents, teachers, the media and the other agents of socialization. (Robertson-Hickling)


They're not swamps!

The word 'swamp' should be excised from the dictionary of decent English words. It is a pejorative word - like 'nigger' - intended to convey a wholly negative connotation. (Espeut)


Ruinous economic path
