"If Jamaica was oil rich we would have been in there by now. "
Westenders, I assume 'we' as foreigners. What do we go in and do, instill our morals and values on them?. Do we insist that so many men don't have kids they have no intention of being there for financially, emotionally, and spiritually (Nuff Pickney Syndrome)? Do we tell them that the role of parenting can't be delegated, so leaving for a better life may not be really better for the child? Do we tell them to keep an eye for kids because there need a first line of defense against the evil in the world? Do we tell them to put down the Bible until they can understand what the words mean?. What do we go in and do to a country where so many of the people think they are perfectly fine and it happens in American too? There are wonderful Jamaicans, some days my hubby would even agree (-:. It doesn't change the fact I am from a country surrounded by beauty but laced with violence against the weak. We can't go in and do anything, it's has to come from within. Is this possible, I hope but truly doubt it. I know it has gotten worse from the time I was living there.
I haven't gotten the news in the Middle East because I was stuck with this one from Jamaica "Missing children found dead". Another article, 15 children left fatherless, after a crash killed 2 brothers. As for choosing the hardship, 7 kids each?
Papa Jezzzus , have you tried to change a Jamaican mind on anything or get a staright answer :-)
