Minister McLean: ‘I am not crying’
I think the Cayman Islands Government should seriously
consider opening a High Commission in Jamaica, if not now in the future,
because for me I will never part with my passport for such a long time. Even
a day is too much for me. It will take time (to report the loss to the
police) and money for me to get a new passport.

Unreasonable airfares to Cayman
First off allow me to commend the pilots and crew of
Cayman Airways for excellent service. However, the fares are considerably
out of balance when compared to other Caribbean destinations. Even fares
from US cities to the Pacific region or Europe are more affordable than a
short flight from Florida to the Cayman Islands. It should be obvious that a
country dependent upon tourism dollars needs to get the tourists there.

Great essay. If you haven’t already seen it, you might
want to check out our Flash slide show, “Pristine?” at
www.shiftingbaselines.org. Maybe you want to do something similar
for the Cayman Islands.

My Take …For what it’s worth
Can Ms. Hay define sell-out? Do you believe this person
was or is a Jamaican? I was reading her nonsense, then was shocked to find
out she is Jamaican-born. Can you imagine me a Jamaican in America acquiring
citizenship and talking about my fellow-countrymen like that? Doesn’t she
realise she is a paper Caymanian and can theoretically be kicked out like
the rest of them?

A Gentle Giant
I am writing from Orlando FL. My husband and myself
have the opportunity to move to the Cayman Islands in early 2006. We have
just received some really upsetting information that our dog Max that we
have had from a puppy cannot come with us because he is a Rottweiler.
We have no children – he is it. Max is an extremely
sweet dog that has been through professional training and is neutered. He
would not hurt anyone or anything. Is there ever an exception to this rule,
it seems very unfair to categorize all Rottweilers. PLEASE HELP!
Kind Regards

The spanking argument
Spanking instills anger and shame. It can make kids
withdraw or harbour resentment. It teaches kids that it’s okay to use
violence to solve conflicts. It trains children to avoid getting caught
doing wrong rather than to not do wrong in the first place.
