How much is Enough

HYPERBOLE
–noun Rhetoric.
1.
obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2.
an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as “to wait an eternity.”

Here is a quote from an article in the GLEANER

"This is not a part of the Jamaican culture, this is something that is alien, and now we are facing the threat of a number of our young women being snatched," Simpson Miller said, pointing to recent cases of women and children being killed.

I consider this to be hypocritical, patronizing and a political hyperbole.

When Sista P was in power, there were 1500 murders during that year, was that ENOUGH, or is she thinking that enough is a figure of 1700-2000. What did she do to curtail the ENOUGH of crime she is now talking about as if it is a new phenomenon.

Will someone explain to me what BS she is sprouting or what is in the water she drinks?

One thing I will give to Sista P ..... she will always appeal to the common demominator and blame others for her own demise.

Walk Good
