Should Dr Davies continue to chair the PAC?
Dear Editor, The Observer on November 11 called for an investigation into what it refers to as "the unreasonable emoluments" of the former governor of the Bank of Jamaica, in order to find out how it happened. The editorial asserts that "only the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" can clear the reputation of Dr Omar Davies and Mr Derick Latibeaudiere"of innuendo, rumour and allegations"....more

Dear Sir, It is close approaching 12 months since the managing director of the IMF, M Dominique Strauss-Khan, discussed Jamaica's financial situation with Prime Minister Golding and his senior financial and monetary officials....moreFriday, November 20, 2009
Dear Editor, I, as well as all other well-thinking Jamaicans, salute the prime minister's invitation to the Opposition to meet in an attempt to arrive at solutions to the country's "unfixable" problems, but I disagree with the notion of a "debate". The word connotes a taking of sides and opposing views, with rancour and with recrimination - we are beyond that and I would suggest instead the word "dialogue"....moreSocial discrimination shameful

Dear Editor, I am upset by the way we treat one another. We tend to discriminate against one another and disregard the motto, "Out of Many, One People"....moreSell Air J to pilots and staff

Dear Editor, Readers are aware of the attempts - unsuccessful so far - to divest Air Jamaica. The divestment is understandable as the government wishes to get Air Jamaica off the budget....moreYes, Trevor, tell Grenada's story
Thursday, November 19, 2009
Dear Editor, Your columnist, the distinguished journalist Ken Chaplin, has made an admirable attempt to spark interest in Edward Seaga's new book with his November 17 article , "Seaga and the Grenada intervention". He claims responsibility for encouraging Mr Seaga to write his account and shares some of his own recollections of the period....moreWednesday, November 18, 2009

Dear Editor, With regard to the recent shooting death of a Jamaican in Florida, I'm wondering if we notice how poorly it was reported. If it were a case where the pages were turned, and it was the Jamaican who took the life of the American, especially if it was here in Jamaica, the publicity would never end. Otis Beckford's killing wasn't gang-related nor was it related to drugs in any way. This in itself should give Jamaicans a reason to see that we are not the scourge of the earth....moreTuesday, November 17, 2009

Monday, November 16, 2009
Dear Editor, The feature on the unfortunate passing of Falmouth Deputy Mayor Errol White in the Observer of November 6 which highlighted his tenure as ''the longest-serving councillor in the Trelawny Parish Council'' came precariously close to being regarded as inaccurate, depending on how you interpret ''longest-serving''....moreChildren becoming society's ills, adult dwarfs
Monday, November 16, 2009
Dear Editor My parents used to tell me of days when children were raised by the community, when they would behave and dress like their age and how they were respectful. Now I look around and the only persons I see are "modernised children". Children who are raised or made by technology - and I don't mean robots. Children have become such great lovers of technology that nothing else seems to matter....moreSunday, November 15, 2009

Dear Editor, Reference is made to the lead story in your publication of November 13, 2009, entitled "$340-m waste", on the issue of non-functional street lights - specifically to the statement "even (street) lights that are not in working order must be paid for by the parish councils"....more
