A Jamaican In Exile

https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/lead-stories/20210525/hospital-horror As one who was trained in Early Childhood Education and who worked as an Early Childhood Consultant for a while, I had to study pedophilia. As pedophilia is a sexual orientation and it is impossible to change one's sexual orientation, one cannot just decide to not be a pedophile. Pedophilia is an incurable sexual orientation affecting up to 5% of a population. Therefore, there are thousands of pedophiles on the loose in Jamaica. According to the Pope, 2% of his priests are pedophiles. I suspect the percentage is higher. Most of these offences against children (over 90%) are never reported by the children. Often the experience is hidden by the victim child who then develops abnormally. Over 90% of children molested are attacked by men they know and trust or are known and trusted by the child's parents. However, the internet has cyber pedophiles who prowl the internet to meet and groom children not previous...

The fact is that the vaccine mRNA technology being used has been researched and tested for over ten years and can now be tweaked for each virus that arises. While it is true that there are 'medical alternatives' to vaccines as the Reverend says, th...

I preview what I say by stating that as a general principle, all government contracts should go to tender. While I agree with you that Jamaica has a construction sector that is inefficient and mired in corruption and extortion, I do not agree with you that Jamaicans should just resign ourselves to this. Let this project be the first to be different! If the government cannot ensure this, then why have them as government? If the government cannot create a regulatory environment for the construction industry, why have them? If a government cannot tender out one road contract without it getting mired in inefficiency, cost overruns, corruption and extortion then those in power have no business being our government! Secondly, I cannot speak for the opposition or the Masterbuilders Association as to why they did not complain when the ...
