Wal-Mart giant more sweet than bitter Dear Sir: Yes sir. Greeting from Jah. So, the big Wal-Mart giant takes up residence in Lauderdale Lakes. I and I agree that could be bad, and that could be good. It is bittersweet as you put it. But let’s try to squeeze the sweet out of this plum. You see the big giant bound to make plenty little people in the area get work. True! Again, it’s only the giant that provides lots of goods at prices that many little people can afford. That’s a good thing. True! Now, on the next hand, the big giant is a threat to the little shops and businesses in the area. But, this can work for good as well. Instead of the little business man going to a weep and mourn party, they must come together with the help of Lauderdale Lake politicians and try to make goods that Wal-Mart will buy from them. Some people, if they are smart and not weepers and mourners, can be buyers and suppliers (to Wal-Mart) of goods from the Caribbean, True! |

Re: Diplomacy, Dialogue and Détente Dear Sir
Diplomacy, Dialogue and Détente are key elements for any successful foreign policy to be effective, especially in the advent of globalization.
With the Bush Administration bent on dictating how every other country ought to be conducting their internal affairs, the three ‘Ds’ are vital for defusing misunderstanding that could fuel dissent and hate. When a nation fails to incorporate these ideals, and other prudent ones, then that nation is eliminating those nations that could become important allies, or partners with whom concerns and ideas could be shared. Each nation has its own unique traditional culture and customs. There is absolutely no homogenous mold that can be applied in an attempt to create democracy. |

Prime Minister Arthur’s Bride Dear Sir: As a Bajan, I am very happy to see my prime minister’s wedding picture on the front page of your paper. I know there are people who are criticizing the man for taking such a young bride. But, such people must stop their foolishness. It is because they are jealous why they are criticizing the man. The old men are jealous because they can’t find a young woman to get married to, some of the women are jealous because they can’t get no man at all, and the old ones are jealous that the young girl get them out of the race. I am proud of Prime Minister Arthur. I guess the critics would have also criticized him if he and his lady continued living together out of wedlock. Even now that he has gone ahead and done the right thing, he is still being criticized. I think all of you just need to leave the man alone. A lot of Bajans here in Florida, in America and in Barbados are proud of you Mr. Arthur. You have taken a lovely bride and we wish you both lots of happiness, and welcome First Lady Julie. Just keep our prime minister happy and let him run the country well. |

Good Caribbean Newspaper Dear Editor: Since I have been living in Florida, I have never written a letter to a newspaper. That is because I have found very few newspapers that interest me, or truly represent me as a Caribbean newspaper. But, I must commend you and your paper for being truly representative of the Caribbean Diaspora in Florida. I have been diligently reading the paper for the past six months and have received such a broad range of information pertaining to the Caribbean and the interest of Caribbean people here. I think I would be remiss in not writing to you to let you know the good job you are doing. It is such a great thing to pick up the paper and read about what is happening in Trinidad, Guyana, Dominica, Jamaica and all over the Caribbean. I sincerely hope the paper grows from success to success. Debra Panchan, Riviera Beach |
