Butch & the Control Kid

[Willi]

And while they draw for the political party card, they themselves swear blind that they only want what is right for Jamaica.

Hypocrites!

Mo do yu seriously think Butch is the biggest threat to Jamaica???

Come now man.

It's amazing to me that those who don't agree with my views in this thread invariably reference the PNP or partisan politics. My post has nothing to do with that. It's about protecting democracy in the country.
We are so polarized that most of us can only analyse public affairs through a PNP/JLP lens. This suggests a serious intellectual deficit which is as rampant in Jamaica as it is on this board.

For the record it's my opinion that the JLP victory was good for Jamaica. It revitalized our democracy. The PNP was tired, corrupt and arrogant after so many years in power. They need to wheel and come again.

The political parties are not the only corrupt elements in Jamaica. The private sector is also diseased and bears some responsibility for the country's condition. Yet we can't vote them out. So at the very least we have to be vigilant and aware of what they do.

Our democracy can also be hijacked by hyper powerful private interests
not just the PNP or JLP. That's the point of the post.

You mean like Trafigura? LoL

Dont act so full of it. People understand what you say but are not as worried as you are. No biggie, Mo is not as incensed about heathrow slots, but mi nah kill him for dat.

[Assasin]

and you know what you a chat bout when you say that there is not 5 people in the JLP that can take over the government and that IMF will not not accept Jamaica because our rate of growth is too high?

that is what you call depth?

[Muadib]

I told you a long time ago that Assassin is out of his depths in these things but he wont stop making an a$$ of himself when he tries to protect foolishness..

[Sickko]

Oh My God! As the Good Book says, "flesh and Blood did not revel this to you...."

[Muadib]

Suh what yuh gwine do when REAL money come knocking ?

I think I am beginning to understand why Kingston Harbour does not look like Monaco instead of its current status as a sewage dump.

We have managed to avoid being 'hijacked' by private interests..

LOL !!

myopia

Our country is at peril when an unelected, unrestrained, unsupervised cabal of private interests is able to accumulate excessive power. This situation must be watched closely.

Wait, is the PNP you talking about??? LoL

"We always believe we are best for Jamaica, so ANYTHING that will cause us to be in power is therefore good for Jamaica"

At least di businessman have an excuse...

[Lazie]

Some of us believe that once you are a successful businessman, you have the right to be a hypocrite, a jerk, an egomaniac and a bore. We don't all believe so.

What? Unuh want him to kiss up to the PNP? Some people see political parties as a vehicle, some of unuh need fi follow suit.
