NOTE-WORTHY - Clear the air Claro

• Clear the air Claro

Claro Jamaica has misinformed the public with their various commercials. They said: "With Claro, your $100 can stretch and stretch for seven days of unlimited calls and texts to three people." This is not the case. They have changed their policy, and now you can talk for as long as you want, with each call lasting for five minutes. Last time I checked, unlimited means 'limitless or without limits'. The five-minute limit goes against their claim. My problem is not that they changed their policy. My problem is that they are misleading and misinforming the public and they cannot be allowed to continue with this atrocity.

I am calling on Claro to withdraw these ads, or amend them to include this very important 'condition'.

• Sweet future for sugar?

It sounds great what Agriculture Minister Dr Christopher Tufton had to say in his letter to the editor in regard to the diversification of our 300-year-old sugar industry. And I am waiting to see what the commission will come up with by the end of 2010.

What concerns me is that the sugar estates are already being sold, so this means the process has started already. Who has purchased them and what plans are being made for the present employees and their future? Was there a guideline given to the new owners as to what they can and cannot do?

Jamaican sugar estates are renowned for being some of the best in the world, so let's capitalise on this. There are so many ideas as to what should be done to create new avenues of revenue, so let us consider all the views.

• Generational baggage

IN response to the Sunday article 'Dudus victim of his generation', this 'generational curse' is used to tarnish families and is just typical of the baggage we carry from our African ancestry. The 'black magic', otherwise called voodoo, is a legacy that is still active in our minds, casting spells on the vulnerable.

These are people who are supposed to be providing positive guidance and uplifting comments, yet they chose unfounded characterization for the vulnerable.

Sadly, Jamaica will continue to struggle with its underclass, unless there is a change in mindset. People who speak for the institutions in Jamaica should act responsibly.
