Our utility companies seem not to think that they should offer good customer service. Over quite a period, the National Water Commission has been providing the Hope Pastures area with a very low water supply.

When this matter is reported to them they advise that their system shows all is well. So, can you tell me what should customers do? What recourse do we have against this utility? Maybe the person in Government under whose portfolio utilities rest could help us, John Public.

Also over a very long period we have been having mini-electricity cuts. JPS has not advised us of these cuts and the reason for the cuts. Here again could the minister in charge of utilities act on our behalf in securing proper service?

Is Jamaica on the brink of civil war? It seems like that when law enforcement personnel are under attack and killed at random. It is a real mockery of Jamaica's law and justice system.

I don't believe that the Government can do anything at this point. It's now up to every citizen in island to take steps to ensure a safer island .

As for Mr. Golding, I would love to seem him introducing capital punishment again even if it means political suicide. It is something he must do even if it means one term for him.

My heart and prayer go out to the family of ACP Gilbert Kameka. His death is a tragic loss and it comes at a time when we, as a country, should be moving forward.

I just returned from Jamaica a month ago from a two-week vacation with my 16-year-old son. I wanted to stay but he cried saying he wanted to come back to England.

We came back and I had drafted up my business plan in order to return to the island where I was born and love very much. Now I am having second thoughts.

I pray that Jamaica will, under God, increase in knowledge and come to the realisation that we are only making it bad for ourselves and future generations. Let peace and love begin in your heart.
