Michael Spence Speaks Out!!!

By Michael Spence

Teefing is Part of Endemic Culture?

Really fraud or only alleged fraud at the Accountant General’s office where if you go there in the flesh with all the verification they insist on having your "death certificate" in order to pay the little pension to the old suffering pensioner.Dem tight dung deh so till a di last place I would believe a big thieving a gwaan and I bet is years it a gwaan nuff people eat good food dung deh. They must be locked up till dem produce dem death certificate. On the other hand it seems everybody a teef so what is it part of the endemic culture so "a nuh nutten'.My advice though do not steal as prison life nuh nice  ask Ninjaman or Jah cure and mi nuh know how Kartel a gwaan? phone him tell him fi buss a tune mek wi hear what a gwaan.28/10/14

Abortion

Why not women need to decide on their own destiny if this was a real cooperative society where all children and pregnancies belong to everyone of us then abortion would be almost unnecessary. This society has become even more individualistic by the passing hour so preventing people from doing things in their best interest via laws only wastes time and create criminals out of people unnecessarily. Section 72 of the Offences Against the Person Act saying anyone found guilty of having or facilitating an abortion could be sentenced to life in prison, with or without hard labour. In this day and age a law like this in is ridiculous and going nowhere it is time indeed to legalize abortion as it is happening all over the place underground and over ground.28/10/14

Everybody knows that boards reflect party in power and so do principals in many cases.Dr Omeally-Nelson what is your solution to this an embedded situation,it couldn't only be to sensitize MPs on the issue as they already know they have been fostering it for decades so why change now is there a compelling reason ?27/10/14

Dealing With IMF Barbados Style

Finance and Economic Minister Chris Sinckler of Barbados is right they can if they have the discipline to do the things needed to be done without an IMF big stick. Jamaica could do the same but it is obvious we lack discipline and engage in "run wid it" economics that puts politics over sensible economics. I hope Barbados succeeds and demonstrate what self discipline can achieve.27/10/14
