Election Results in Jamaica

It is alleged that Omar Davis (the previous Finance Minister) once said "Jus run wid it", when he was asked about the Finsac debacle while he was Minister of Finance. I now echo his words in response to the recent Jamaica Elections held on December 29th, 2011.
Stats from the ECJ indicate that approximately 52.10% of eligible voters exercised their right to vote, so what happened to the other 48%?
I will refrain from getting into the analysis of the election, as Jamaica is known for a lot of talking, analyzing and nitpicking, but nobody has the definitive answers to the question of "what happened?. Prior to the election date, it was widely pronounced (using various polls, and learned pundits) that it would be a close election with the JLP winning by a nose. So to see that the PNP won by a wide margin, is a surprise indeed.
To the people of Jamaica, be careful what you wish for, now you have to "run wid it".
To the JLP, now in opposition, take solace that you will live to fight another day, in 2016. To the PNP, now forming the next Government, I hope you have a vision for Jamaica and be prepared for significant pain in this period of a weakening World economy. Be aware that Jamaica in now a welfare state, and you can't keep borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, it is not sustainable.
This is my last post for the year, so to all who venture to read my ramblings. I wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!

You Never Know

Well, 2011 is nearly over and in some parts of the world, change is happening. This change may be for the better or worse, but change will happen. One of the things that human beings are afraid of is change. It maybe a change of job, or procedure, or climate or the cost of living, in each case us humans will have a deep down fear of the change, of the unknown.
As the new year is just on the horizon, it maybe a signal that each individual reading this, can and should consider the choices we make, and the change that will come from these choices.
It could be a choice of being kind to another human being, or show some compassion towards another human. Take a look at the homeless person begging some money, as he/she is somebody's relative. But for the grace of God, they could be your relative. Show them some kindness (if you don't have money to give, buy them a coffee), show some compassion, remember, but for the Grace of God, so go I; it does not take much for anyone of us to be in their shoes.
I am not preaching to anyone, just asking that each one of us can make the small effort to change our community for the better, and in doing so become the change agent and overcome our fears.
I humbly ask that you take a look at this youtube video (watch it to the end), then look inside of you, and become a change agent.

Tis The Season

The world has reached a point that everything must be politically correct, so during the Christmas time we are now required to say Happy Holidays. However, for this brief sojourn, let us enjoy our family and friends, and wish each a Merry Christmas.

God grant you the light in Christmas, which is faith;
the warmth of Christmas, which is love;
the radiance of Christmas, which is purity;
the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice;
the belief in Christmas, which is truth;
the all of Christmas, which is Christ.
--Wilda English

To all who visit or read this blog I wish you Peace and Love during this Festive Season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

70 Years of Change

Movie: The Great Dictator
Year: 1940
Actor: Charlie Chaplin
It is amazing, that over 70 years ago a Comedian made a speech that is still 100% relevant today.
Someone has edited it and infused some modern images, but left the speech intact.
The question arises and should be asked "Has the world changed in those 70 years"?
Take the time to look and listen to the speech, then make your own judgement.
