Outlined below is a communication I shared with an “old” aquaintant from High School. We had not communicated in over 40 years but due to the miracle of FaceBook, there he was. However, it did not take long for me to realize that although we went to the same High School in Kingston, Jamaica, we were diametrically positioned on opposite sides of the political platform. The communication below has been edited to remove any personal references to this person but a recent encounter brought this piece back into view – thought I’d share it; thoughs and comments are always welcome.

About the AuthorI was raised in a system governed by the British. I enjoyed my early years, as a kid growing up in Jamaica, West Indies, but always considered myself to be a thoughtful person, more concerned with understanding the accuracy of an issue – any issue, and less with the categorization of right vs wrong, good vs bad. I never really understood why I thought along those lines – I just did. However, as I matured I discovered that the essence of this thought process was the first step in my commitment to achieving a fair and balanced evaluation of events, as they occurred. Archives
