I will be counted

Dear Editor,

I remember a few years back Edward Seaga said that the government is like a woman on her back awaiting any big business to come along and do with her what they please. Even though he took a lot of critism for his statement, it holds true then and now even more than ever.

I, like many Jamaicans today, feel the same way. We toil for the elusive dollar only to be told that the silver shekels we earn and spend don't count. It's just the people who spend gold doubloons that matter.

Well, I am tired and I am here to say my little bit counts. I will not be bullied. I just won't go quietly into the night, I will be counted. And I am sure if I look I can find a lot of us small people you have shafted that would join me in saying we want to be counted, we want to be respected.
