To my fellow Jamaicans, When will we, as a nation, begin to stand on our own feet instead of looking for a benefactor to solve our problems? When will we come to the conclusion that our problems are of our making and therefore we are the only ones who cansolve them? The Chinese or American cannot and will not solve our problems.Reliance on the Chinese or American currency is not and will not be the solution.The solution begins with 1. Law and order; we need laws that make no distinction between the handcart man and the prime minister, everyone equal under the law. Laws that protect the environment and expand individual rights through the establishment of independent democratic institutions.2. Respect for private property.3. Stem the scourge of violence. We need to usher in new industries while promoting competition. Competition is the job-creator, not a new minister, not foreigners building a port for us. Give real support to education and scientific inquiry. We have 87 per cent of Jamaicans who earn a university degree eventually leaving the country.These are our best and brightest, the risk takers and the job creators. We need them.Establishing these two basic tenets we will have the possibility of a brighter future one love to all.
