Dear Editor,
Governments are not dysfunctional, they operate and deliver exactly what people ask of them. If the ends justify the means then use any means necessary in order to arrive at the end you desire. Therefore, if people require shops to start small businesses, cheaper alternative energy or highways, and the Office of the Contractor General (OCG) stands in your way, circumvent it. Also, why not set up your own rating agency? If there is an urgent need for money from a major source with a different mandate — let's say the NHT — change the laws and remove the funds; by the hook or the crook, let us achieve the end.
After nine days, people will stop running up their mouths and it will all be forgotten. If they continue, then you will need divine intervention.
When you do your annual check-up, and the doctor tells you that you have inoperable cancer, two months to live and no radiation treatment can help you, then you need divine intervention.
When you are coming down Spur Tree Hill and your brakes fail, then you need divine intervention.
When you are in an aircraft and collision with birds shuts down all your engines over the Hudson River, you don't need divine intervention, you need Captain Chesley Sullenberger.
Jamaica needs a minister of security, not a cry baby. We have too many things dependent on a secure and just society.
Japanese Ambassador Hiroshi Yamaguchi, in 2012, said that Jamaica will find it difficult to attract direct investments from Japan if the island fails to curtail its crime problem. He said that Japan's investors will not consider investments wherever they think they are in danger of safety and security.
There is no chicken-and-egg situation, but there is a chicken-or-egg situation; which came first? Security and justice beats everything else; health, education, developing food security through agriculture all rank below a safe and secure nation. If you are dead nothing else matters.
Within minutes of the Boston bombings closed circuit television revealed the perpetrators. Minister Bunting, there are many other things to try; Dudus was just one piece of the puzzle. But if you are dead set on divine intervention, tell us; let us try Reverend Ronald Thwaites. He should have a more direct line to the Almighty.
