IS THE VIOLATION OF THE JAMAICAN CONSTITUTION A
CAN ANYONE READ ENGLISH?
"Section 40 (2) of the Jamaican Constitution prohibits persons who have taken citizenship in another(non-Commonwealth ) country from being elected to the House of Representatives or being appointed a senator. Where the person takes an oath of allegiance to a non-Commonwealth country after being elected or appointed to the legislature, Section 41 (1) of the Constitution requires that the person's seat be made vacant."
Is this plain english or is it some foreign language? Why have those who love to point to the high level of crime in Jamaica now talking about how the Jamaican constitution must be amended and not talking about how the Jamaican constitution has been blatantly violated?Is this a land and people of law breakers?
THE QUESTIONS THAT THE JLP MUST ANSWER IS THIS: WERE THEY AWARE THAT SEVERAL OF THEIR CANDIDATES THAT THE YPUT FORWARD BEFORE THE VOTERS WERE US CITIZENS?
If they did and they still put them forward for office, then why is not this election fraud? This was a wilful attempt to stub their fingers right through the eye of the Jamaican Constitution saying in effect "we do not care what is written therein, we are bigger than the law, aka the law is not a shackle"!
Ignorance of the law is not and has never been accepted as a defence. Anyway, there is no way that they can claim ignorance, not with the battery oflawyers and Constitutional experts in their camp! This is election fraud pure and simple!
IGNORING "SMALL" CRIMINALITY HAS LED TO JAMAICA BECOMING A CORRUPTED CRIMINAL STATE!
The Jamaican Constitution, even if it is a plantation document, is the legal document governing Jamaica. No one says it does not need changes. But until those changes are made, violations of it should be prosecuted. This is the rule of law andminimizations of wanton illegality, however small, leads to larger issues of criminality and is one reason why our moral compass is worrisomely undesirable and gutterly reprehensible. No other nation in the world has a larger percentage of its citizens deported from the USA, Canada and the UK as does Jamaica because criminality looks normal to the masses!
We have historically minimized criminality so that certain criminality is being over looked or is being put aside because we say there are more important things that need attention and now the criminality consciousness has been fully embedded in then ational consciousness. This has lead to wide spread acceptance of corruption and we now have whole communities living off extorted gains some of which involved murders, arsons and thefts, while the country turns a blind eye. Jamaica is partly a criminal country period!
WHERE ARE THE THEOLOGIANS WHO WERE RAILING AGAINST HIGH LEVELS OF CRIME?
Be consistent theologians and call an illegal act what it is. There is no way to misinterpret common english here! The JLP purposely violated the Jamaican constitution. This must be some sort of crime and if it is not it should be! In any event it must be some kind of fraud. Partisan Jamaican courts may rule on their partisanship but the British Privy Council would certainly declare the victorious US citizensineligible to sit in the Jamaican parliament.
WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ILLEGAL GOVERNMENTS; VAST NUMBER OF LAWSUITS COMING!
Those who think this is a partisan article have not read my other perceptive pieces. I am alleging that past governments have had illegal foreigners serving in the Parlianent and this holds serious consequences because the Parliaments were according to the constitution, illegal entities. It means that if past governments were illegal, then legislation they passed and actions and penalties they meted out were also illegal making them liable for damages from lawsuits from individuals and corporations who can claim harm!
WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER ELECTION; THERE IS NO OTHER SOLUTION! LAWSUIT BY CITIZEN TO BE FILED
If I can find a lawyer who is not afraid of the partisans, I would file a lawsuit alleging fraud and violation of the Jamaican Constitution, to have the election results thrown out! I guarantee that the Privy Council would rule in this favor because theyare not ruled by the disease of partisanship that hasrun rampant throughout the land!
IT IS TIME TO STAND UP FOR THE RULE OF LAW AND NOT THERULE OF HYPOCRISY?
Calling the constitution unfair is not the issue here.The issue is it was blantantly disrespected, ignored and violated! The violation of the Constitution must be a criminal offence punishable under Jamaican law!
FOREIGN LAWYERS SUPPORT VIOLATING THE JAMAICANCONSTITUTION?
Jamaican-born attorney-at-law in Florida, DahliaWalker-Huntington, said that Section 41(2) of the Constitution was unfair to Jamaicans living in thediaspora.
She pointed out that there was inequity in the Constitution as it allows a person who gains dualcitizenship through their parents, as a child, to beable to participate in representational politics, butat the same time bars another person who swears allegiance to another country from participating inrepresentational politics.
"It (the Constitution) is treating half of yourpopulation unfairly," she argued.
This is the same person who responded to my challenge that the Jamaican Diaspora Foundatioin was intended tobring the vote to Jamaican overseas by saying "There is no where in print or on tape where I have advocated Jamaicans in the Diaspora voting in Jamaican elections. So to brand me "an overseas votinh (sic)zealot" is blatantly incorrect." Dahlia Walker Huntington, 2006!
IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW- EMAIL THE PRIME MINISTER (Prime Minister Bruce Golding), AND LET HIM KNOW THAT THECONSTITUTION WAS VIOLATED AND JUSTICE IS CRYING OUTFOR RELIEF!!

THE STRANGE CASE OF JAMAICA'S INEXPLICABLE SUPPORT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE USA!
WHY DO THE MAJORITY OF JAMAICANS SEEM TO SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF THE USA?
This is a question that needs serious examination touncover any existing factual basis for the"democrticpartization" of Jamaicans and to see ifthere is an explanation for our twisted method ofmaking choices and seeking affiliations. To begin hereare a few statements from some media giants.
" Still the sentimental pull of the long-standingpreference for a Hillary Clinton over any Republicancontender... " Why Hillary Clinton has turned me off - Geof Brown
"Mi glad yuh se", said Ronnie Thwaites as heexulted over the victory of the Democratic Party inthe congressional electionsm over the Republicansrecently.
"We must be proud of the Democratic Party".Congresswoman Yvette Clarke.
Evidence should be a vital piece of information thataffects decision-making in chosing affiliations butgreat salesmen know too that the ability to make thetarget person feel important by appealing to the ego,often outweighs an abundance of evidence which doesnot support the sale. Hence low self-esteem personsmake the best customers and we have clear evidence ofthis in Jamaica and Haiti where hundreds of thousandsof poor persons choose to buy cell phones (anego-affected decision) over saving their scarceresources to finance the education of their children(a far more important action supported by evidenceshowing that education is vital to breaking the cycleof poverty).
SO THEN IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE LOVE OFTHE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ALLUDED TO BY GEOF BROWN ANDRONNIE THWAITES, OR IS THEIR POSITION EGO-BASED?
Let us go to the evidence. In reviewing thehistorical and contemporary evidence the RepublicanParty has an unassailable and clear lead over theDemocratic Party in legislative actions that hasassisted Jamaica. We will also present information onthe African American experience.
EXPOSING THE HIDDEN FACTS; THE DEMOCRATS TALK ANDCREATE GOOD FEELINGS WHILE THE REPUBLICAN WALK!
In spite of the prevailing perception, the Democraticparty of the USA is not friendly towards Jamaica andthose Jamaicans who were exulting are simply theproduct of media brainwashing. Let us list some mostimportant issues that affected and still affects theCaribbean and the economies there.
1. The amnesty and immigration act of the 80s.This was an act which was supported and pushed byRepublican Ronald Reagan and signed into law by him.
In 1986, Congress passed the Immigration Reform andControl Act (IRCA) giving amnesty — legal forgiveness— to all illegal aliens who had successfully evadedjustice for four years or more or were illegallyworking in agriculture. As a result, 2.8 millionillegal aliens were admitted as legal immigrants tothe United States. In addition, they have so farbrought in an additional 142,000 dependents.
Various Amnesties of Illegal Aliens
IRCA (including dependents) 2,831,351
NACARA 405,000
Haitian Act 50,000
INA Section 249 (from 1987-1997) 69,670
TOTAL 3,356,021
Tens of thousands of Jamaicans (no one actually knowhow many)beneffitted from the single most importantissue forthem in their life up to that time.
2. THE CARIBBEAN BASIN INITIATIVEAlso supported and signed into law by TepublicanRonald Reagan, this bill is still benefitting theCaribbean in some form today and Jamaica directlyespecially in the form of ethanol exports.
3. THE HELMS BURTON ACTTo be truthful this legislation has Republican originsbut it was finally supported and signed into law byDemocratic president Bill Clinton after Cuban pilotsshot down two airplanes belonging to an Americangroup. This act directly impacts negatively onexpansion plans of Jamaican hotelliers seekinginvestments in Cuba.
4. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PARTY OF SLAVERYAnd why did not the democrats free the slaves? It wasthe southern democrats who were the majorityslaveholders and so it proves like Jamaica, as somesay African Americans love their bondage and are stillpart of one large modern slave plantation- theyreturned to their slave massas en masse when theyoffered them gifts and charity in Roosevelt's NewDeal!!
5. THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS DESTABILIZED THE AFRICANAMERICAN ECONOMYThe information on how southern Decocrats destroyedseveral thriving African American towns, has beenhidden for decades. Stunningly this has never beendiscussed in media the way the Iraq war has been. Twoincidents come to mind; Tulsa, Oklahoma and Rosewood,Florida, where decades ago Democratic mobs chased,killed African Americans and burned to the groundthriving African American business communities.
6. OVER 3000 KNOWN LYBCHINGS OF AFRICAN AMERICANSOf course most if not all of these lynchings were doneby Democrats of the south, the last one in 1960!Incidentally, many of the participants at theselynchings are still alive today and recognizable ineasily accessible photographs and makes one wonder whythey are not being prosecuted! See Democratic lynchmobs in action here:http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/african/2000/lynching.htm
7. THE SHOCKING VOTING RESULTS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTSLEGISLATION OF THE 1960S.One often hears the argument that the reason whyAfrican Americans are all Democrats is because theDemocrats passed civil rights legislation. But hereare the actual voting results on that legislation.
By party and region
The original House version: For and Against.
Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)
Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted infavor)
Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats:
45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed themeasure)
Northern Republicans:
27-5 (84%-16%) (Senators Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Barry Goldwaterof Arizona, Edwin L. Mechem of New Mexico, Milward L.Simpson of Wyoming, and Norris H. Cotton of NewHampshire opposed the measure)
SHOCKING RESULTS HUH! Support from the Republicans wasextremely high and the Democrats which opposed similarlegislation from the 1860s, finally changed theirstance.
8. THE REPUBLICANS BROUGHT FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY; THEDEMOCRATS OPPOSED ITHistory clearly indicates that the Democratic Partyopposed the Civil Rights Act passed by the Republicansin the 1860s. Yes that's right, in the 18602! In factthe Democrats opposed such Civil Rights legislationfor decades
9. THE RACIST DEMOCRATIC SPINNING BRAINWASHING MACHINE
ONE question seeks an answer. Against the evidencepresented so far why do the African Americans andHispanics support the Democratic party considering thedevilish tyrannical history it is so proud of? Someclaim that both parties have reversed poles with theRepublicans taking on a racist mantra similar to the1865 Democrats. There are several problems with thisposition though.
Firstly, I was never taught in my two semesters of UShistory that the Democratic Party was historicallyracist and anti Civil Rights. The Democratic Party hasshocking racist history but this is not taughtanywhere and it is an acknowledged part of Americanhistory. When I challenged a noted history professorin California about this he huffed and puffed goingoff on a tangent about polarity.
Secondly, it is incorrect to try and subtly say thatthe Democrats of 1865 were the only racist democrats.In fact their overt racist tendencies continued fordecades and as far as I am concerned they still existtoday! Even in the Democrtic party's nominationelections the nation saw prominent African AmericansAndrew Young, Robert Johnson and Congressman Rangelssbockingly taking sides against African AmericanBarack Obama and in the case of Johnson makingcomments insinuating Obama was taking drugs when theClintons were contributing to the African Americancommunity! This is another version of the House Negroversus the Field Negro. I wonder what the RepublicanFrederick Douglas is doing in his grave?
Thirdly, the facts are that the actions of Republicanpresidents in signing legislation that contributedimmeasurably to African Americans, Hispanics andimmigrants refutes the commonly accpeted notion thatthe republican party is now racist and the democratsare not.
Many examples of the racist Democratic party arewaiting to be taught in history classes acrossAmerica, in Jamaica and in the Hispanic communitiesHere are a few:
John S. Rock, African-American Republican abolitionist
Dr. John S. Rock, was the first African-Americanlawyer admitted to practice before the U.S. SupremeCourt. Chief Justice Salmon Chase (R-OH) swore him inthis day in 1865.
Born a free man, Rock studied medicine and then becamea renowned abolititonist and Republican activist. In1858, he decided to seek medical treatment in France,but the Democrat Secretary of State, Lewis Cass, triedto stop him. Cass, the former Democrat presidentialnominee, ruled that African-Americans could not beissued U.S. passports. The Republican-controlledMassachusetts legislature then issued Dr. Rock atravel document which the French government accepted,enabling him to travel to France.
At Boston's Fanuel Hall, in 1858, he ridiculed racialprejudice: "If any man does not fancy my color, thatis his business, and I shall not meddle with it. Ishall give myself no trouble because he lacks goodtaste... Our friends can do what many of them arenobly doing, assist us to remove the obstacles whichprevent our elevation, and stimulate the worthy topersevere. The colored man who, by dint ofperseverance and industry, educates and elevateshimself, prepares the way for others, gives characterto the race, and hastens the day of generalemancipation."
the Republican Party's 15th AmendmentOn this day in 1870, after passing in the House ofRepresentatives with 98% Republican support and 97%Democrat opposition, the Republican Party's 15thAmendment was ratified by the states. It then becamepart of the Constitution, extending toAfrican-Americans the right to vote. Unfortunately,Democrats soon enacted poll taxes, literacy tests, andother scams to prevent African-Americans from votingin the South and other areas under their control.http://grandoldpartisan.typepad.com/

10. THE DEMOCRATS SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY AND LESBIANISMWHILE THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT!Surprised aren't you? It is true indeed. This issuefor which Jamaica is branded as the most homophobiccountry in the world which the majority of Jamaicansfind so dastardly, the friendly Democrats are infavor of.
11. THE DOMOCRATIC PARTY IS MORE ANTI-GOD WHILE THEREPUBLICANS ARE PRO-GODWhat a shocker! A country like Jamaica and churchdeacons like Ronnie Thwaites would flock to theatheistic party! Jamaica still has religion in itsschools; the democrats get maddenningly angry when anyone suggests that there should be religion inAmerica's public schnools!
11. IRAQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JAMAICAI heard some Jamaicans shouting about the war in Iraq,but what does it have to do with Jamaica? Were theyshouting when Saddam was killing his 300,000? Are theyshouting about the 1,500 deaths a day in Darfur? Hint;they are completely silent; they do not even know thatmore persons have died in Darfur than in Iraq! Themedia has convinced Jamaica that the war in Iraq ismore important than the genocide in Sudan and so theyhate George Bush for Iraq but love the Chinese eventhough the Chinese has financed the genocide of darkskinned Africans who more closely resemble them thanthe Iraqis! Oh the power of television!Most Jamaicans do not even look at the issues butfollow their prevailing brainwashed opinion! Too muchtelevision is bad for rationality and sound reasoning!
ARE ALL JAMAICANS AND AFRICAN AMERICANS BRAINWASHED?
Perhaps Congresswoman Yvette Clarke who said "We mustbe Proud of the Democratic Party", can provide anexplanation or may be Ronnie Thwaites and Geof Browncan collaborate on a psychological response.-
Oh yes be proud of the party that did not want to freethe slaves. Be proud of the party that enslaved andraped hundreds of thousands of women at will. Be proudof the deomcrats who lynched and burned...
Then here is more from Yvette Clarke: "I will work incongress to make sure that all of our citizens haveequal economic, civil and legal rights regardless ofsexuality, gender or gender preference." - YvetteClarke
Well here it is Jamaicans full support for the heinousacts of the gay community, which you all so hate anddespise. What a twisted state of affairs. Thegreaters haters of homosexuality showing love for aparty that shows great acceptance of the hatedlifestyle! That's why we are known as Ja(Hypocrisans)maicans.

10. THE DEMOCRATS SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY AND LESBIANISMWHILE THE REPUBLICANS DO NOT!Surprised aren't you? It is true indeed. This issuefor which Jamaica is branded as the most homophobiccountry in the world which the majority of Jamaicansfind so dastardly, the friendly Democrats are infavor of.
11. THE DOMOCRATIC PARTY IS MORE ANTI-GOD WHILE THEREPUBLICANS ARE PRO-GODWhat a shocker! A country like Jamaica and churchdeacons like Ronnie Thwaites would flock to theatheistic party! Jamaica still has religion in itsschools; the democrats get maddenningly angry when anyone suggests that there should be religion inAmerica's public schnools!
11. IRAQ HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JAMAICAI heard some Jamaicans shouting about the war in Iraq,but what does it have to do with Jamaica? Were theyshouting when Saddam was killing his 300,000? Are theyshouting about the 1,500 deaths a day in Darfur? Hint;they are completely silent; they do not even know thatmore persons have died in Darfur than in Iraq! Themedia has convinced Jamaica that the war in Iraq ismore important than the genocide in Sudan and so theyhate George Bush for Iraq but love the Chinese eventhough the Chinese has financed the genocide of darkskinned Africans who more closely resemble them thanthe Iraqis! Oh the power of television!Most Jamaicans do not even look at the issues butfollow their prevailing brainwashed opinion! Too muchtelevision is bad for rationality and sound reasoning!
ARE ALL JAMAICANS AND AFRICAN AMERICANS BRAINWASHED?
Perhaps Congresswoman Yvette Clarke who said "We mustbe Proud of the Democratic Party", can provide anexplanation or may be Ronnie Thwaites and Geof Browncan collaborate on a psychological response.-
Oh yes be proud of the party that did not want to freethe slaves. Be proud of the party that enslaved andraped hundreds of thousands of women at will. Be proudof the deomcrats who lynched and burned...
Then here is more from Yvette Clarke: "I will work incongress to make sure that all of our citizens haveequal economic, civil and legal rights regardless ofsexuality, gender or gender preference." - YvetteClarke
Well here it is Jamaicans full support for the heinousacts of the gay community, which you all so hate anddespise. What a twisted state of affairs. Thegreaters haters of homosexuality showing love for aparty that shows great acceptance of the hatedlifestyle! That's why we are known as Ja(Hypocrisans)maicans.

PRIVATE JAMAICAN CITIZEN TO SUE EUROPEAN COMMISSIONER KROES OVER FARM SUBSIDIES WHILE JAMAICAN POLITICIANS CAPITULATES!
"There are persons who believe that the preferences that we have enjoyed - this business where Europe paysyou twice as much for your sugar than they can buy it elsewhere - that those are things that must remain inperpetuity. It is a kind of mendicancy that we need topurge ourselves of." Prime Minister Bruce GoldingSure charity and remittances are destabilizing but it does seem as if Bruce Golding is completely unaware that this same Europe subsidizes its own farmers to the tune of EU$100 billion dollar per year.
This usidy clearly creates an unfair and uncompetitiveatmosphere for non-European farmers who export andsell farm produce to European markets. It was thissame Europe under Commissioner Neelie Kroes,, who sued and fined Microsoft hundreds of millions of EU dollars because it said, Microsoft had an unfair competiveadvamtage over other software competitors. Unless Commissioner Kroes can document otherwise, the Microsoft action does seem to parrallel the EU farmsubsidy programs and should be a sound basis for alawsuit filed on behalf of farmers worldwide.
Does the European farm subsidey create a similarcompetitive advantage for European farmers? I would not expect Bruce Golding to challenge the European over this; he is in a particularly weak position. But just like I did in the Trafiggura affair, while politicians were spinning their partisan tops, I wassending dozens of emails to the Dutch Police,prosecutors and the press urging prosecution of thePNP. In fact, I claim to have done more than the entire local JLP politicl machinery in thisregard and WILL TAKE UP THIS SUBSIDY MATTER WITH COMMISSIONER KROES MYSELF including a potential lawsuit to follow! The backbones of our leaders have been irreparablybroken. This is what happens when a country is financed by loans and charities.

Jamaicans Living Overseas
There are 2.7 million Jamaicans living at home and the official estimate is that, an equal number of Jamaicans also lives overseas. Last year, Jamaicans living abroad send home approximately US$2.6 billion. Just ahead of what the island earns from its major industry tourism, and ahead of what is brought in by the bauxite industry. Another significant figure is the estimated US$40 billion purchasing power of Jamaicans living abroad.
It should therefore come as no surprise that the Jamaican Government is actively pursuing this potentially rich source of investment capital and political influence.But for those of you wishing to effect changes in Jamaica, image an entrepreneurial approach devoid of politics and government; and with the prospect of harnessing the full potential of 2.7 million innovative and committed Jamaicans.This is the objective of Jamlink - to create an enterprise among Jamaican living overseas, and to monetize this partnership with the use of a single online media platform.
Incidentally work has already begun, as you can see in the first phase of our online platform at www.jamlink.com Jamlink’s framework will take into consideration the following two components:---- A for profit enterprise with complete adherence to entrepreneurship and personal gain; and- A non-for-profit arm to mobilize our efforts around some of the issues affecting Jamaica.The operation will be based in Florida, and will be appropriately named. And as such, all subsequent partnerships and stakeholder relationships will be mandated by both state and federal guidelines. As a matter of fact, the non-for-profit arm of Jamlink is already in place – for the past 3 years, Jamlink has been the trademark of “Vonergy” - a 501(c) (3) charitable organization established to promote cohesive advocacy throughout the Jamaica community abroad.
Working together---Several of you receiving this correspondence are already aware of these plans, and are expected to act according to your respective commitments. For those of you not yet familiar with Jamlink, you can learn more by contacting us. You may also want to sign-up at our website to receive updates on our progress.The initial funding for this start-up venture is being obtained from our fundraising campaigns, namely our:- Advertising programs- Third-party referral programs- Own a Virtual piece a Yawd Campaign Some of these online resources may benefit you personally and if so, we urge your support and participation as it will enable Jamlink’s continuous development.Jamlink’s online media platform remains a work in progress. And, a fully functional, and revenue generating Jamlink will create sustainable benefits for all those involved - a feat possible only by this creation of the largest online Jamaican-based network.

HOW TO ELIMINATE POVERTY
1. Teach the people the importance of sacrifice and delayed-self gratification. The minds of the poor are weak and hence they are prime prey for advertising programs. Their self worth is very low and so they do almost anything to raise their self-worth. Hence you see hundreds of thousands of Jamaicans wasting their money on cell phones when they should be saving for the college education of their children or for their retirement.
2. Teach the people the importance of saving. Instead of buying items to boost self-worth the poor should be saving their money.
3. Teach the people the importance of education. In today's competitive world education is a must to break the poverty cycle. Turn off the cable television and save the money for school fees!
4. The poor must be taught to give. You will never appreciate a thing to the highest level until you learn to give it away. Whatever one gives one keeps. This is philosophical stuff, which I will not get into here but it is a proven spiritual principle!
5. The poor must be taught that having children out of wedlock and or unprepared leads to poverty! Jamaica is obviously overpopulated and while no one wants to talk about it, the actions that lead to this overpopulation is devastating us!
6. The poor must be taught that crime leads to poverty; not that poverty leads to crime! Demonstrations, locking down school property because of dissatisfaction as parents like to do, destroying business property during strikes, confiscating government property by refusing to return salary overpayments as the JTA literally just did, and using strikes as a prime negotiating tool all lead to poverty!
7. Teach the poor that dysfunctional family structures perpetuate the cycle of poverty! The single greatest factor destabilizing us is our runaway libido which has lead to widespread dysfunctional family structures and a population greater than the job potential of our economy but NO one sees this as a problem. Listen foreign investors will never invest in Jamaica the way they have invested in Costa Rica or Ireland because they have persons advising them and these advisors know that the quality of a country's work force is directly related to the quality of the country's family life. So we are trying to put paste on a festering wound and wondering why it will not heal. We will never have lasting prosperity as long as we have widespread dysfunctional families.
8. Overpopulation leads directly to poverty especially when GNP growth does not parallel it.

I am on record as saying, based on the historyof the JCF and the widespread corruption in the force,the incident in Tivoli Grdens this past week, resembles a wanton extra judicial killing. Many Jamaicans have never read the AmnestyInternational or Americas Watch reports on the JCF,but if they did unbiasedly, they would perhaps neverbelieve anything the police force reports on incidentslike this one! Here is an excerpt from the of war on human rights inJamaica:Police abuse has been documented by national andinternational organisations numerous times in the past30 years.
In 1986, an Americas Watch report, HumanRights in Jamaica, concluded that there existed inJamaica: ''a practice of summary executions by thepolice; a practice of unlawful detentions by thepolice at times accompanied by police assaults ondetainees; and a practice of confining detainees inpolice station lock-ups under squalid and degradingconditions.
''DOESN'T THIS SOUNDS LIKE HITLER'S GULAG TO YOU OR THEHUTU MASSACRE OR SADDAM HUSSEIN'S KILLING FIELDS?Go here for the rest!
