From a Jamaican Point of View

The days of slavery supposedly ended. Yet the people of Jamaica are enslaved by a constitution that was written for the benefit of persons in government and not for the benefit of the people and equal rights where humanity is concerned.

Jamaica became an independent nation in 1962 and since then the same breed of Politicians have been the ones in charge of governing our nation.

A citizens right to vote does not have the power of the citizens voice, it only creates power to the individuals placed on a pedestal who only serve themselves and not the people of Jamaica.

The most basic food that necessitates survival incur tax, still it is yet to be seen where all these taxes collected goes. Policing, Education, Health care, and Infrastructure are all lacking.

The Politicians continue to live lavish lives, while the common people struggles to survive in a highly illiterate society.

Moral values have been on the decline since Cable TV came into being as there was no censorship from the beginning. Unplanned pregnancy among teenagers and the less fortunate continues to breed poverty,crime, porn infestation and decrease family values.

Self-loathing has created the bleaching phenomenon where persons are using extremely hazardous chemicals to lighten the color of their skin.

There is limited opportunity for a Jamaican citizen who plans to stay in Jamaica.

While a Jamaican Politician can pay the the same price as an American in America for a motor vehicle the people of Jamaica would have to pay two or three times the price to own and drive the same automobile in Jamaica.

A Jamaican doing business in Jamaica, sooner or later will give up and migrate to another country or become corrupted or develop health issues.

A truck on a distribution route or a person on his way to work is stopped twice per day in road blocks delaying constructive productivity. The traffic police have become the biggest extortionists.

God help us...
