The situation in Tonga is precarious. As the Minister of Finance is feverishly trying to bounce the economy back with ambitious policies, the Prime Minister and Parliamentarians look for equilibrium in opposite directions, which explains the same old arguments, same old excuses and lack of domestic achievements. - Mele Payne Lynch

Readers who were responding to my comments on "Children and Obscenity" appeared not to fully comprehend my position. So once again, I hereby want to make my position clear. My position is my wish that something is done to prevent children of a certain age from watching shows like the Miss Galaxy Pageant which are perhaps too obscene and/or pornographic for them to handle. - Siosaia Fatani

With respect to the Galaxy show, there are scenes the audiences finds humor, to others it's vice versa. Everyone has the rights to their opinion, and one is entitle to it. It will be nice to encourage an age limit, (not forgetting nightclubs), but it's simply complicated as; "no laws for seat belts, yet rule of thumb is, put your seat belts on for prevention!!" Parliament probably believes seat belts are common sense, "who needs to enforce it?" Will be a legend. - Local Parent

The reason why I brought up this issue in my last letter was my fear that the two small children, approximately 4-6 years of age who were sitting close to me, would in one way or another be adversely affected by the fakaleitis' performances. May I remind you Ms. Telesia Finau that the young children of Tonga too have constitutional rights to appropriate and beneficial environment of education. - Siosaia Fatani
