Dear Editor,
The logistics hub prosped for the Goat Islands, I believe, is the most important development to come our way since the 60s. The world is moving ahead, and you can either choose to move forward or hug up an iguana.
I will venture to say that if these nowadays "environmentalists" were around in years gone by, we would not have ports in Kingston or Montego Bay. Jamaica needs something... something more. It is obvious that the sun, reggae and "plant life" are not cutting it.
It is very rare in life that a country can get a second chance. After the development in the 60s, to facilitate trade, we have had nothing much the speak of. This hub is too important to the vitality of the island to be brushed aside.
This is not a JLP or PNP issue. This cuts to the very core of our country. We are at a crossroads. What are we going to do? Where do we go from here? All sectors of society must come together to ensure that this works. All of our social issues stem from our economic woes. In the 60s Jamaica was a model society both economically and socially; we got broke and everything went to hell in a handbasket. Time to regain our rightful place.
