Rough Translation of Iandi's Answer to #1

Originally posted by Iandi:

---Le gouvernement américain, parce qu'en plus d'imposer son mode de vie, son quota de pollution, il appauvrit sa population en s'enrichissant. Et ne s'inquiète pas de tuer des milliers de gens pour leur bébéfice (Pétrole).


TROPICANA'S TRANSLATION:

--- The American governement because more than imposing impose their way of life, their share of of pollution, they keep thier population poor while they become richer. And it does not upset them to kill millions of people for their own benefit (oil).

2. Who would you say has had the most impact on your life to this point, and how?

---My sister Tamaé, because she's the one who organised the demonsrations, and my fiance who's American, and changed his mind about that war.

3. If you won 10 million dollars, how would you use it to change your life and the lives of those around you?

--I would give some money to my family in Flatbush, then to poor people in Jamaica, Martinique, and Africa. [/qb]

Re: Finals - Ms. Jamaicans.com 2003 - 2nd Annual Pageant

If you had the power to change one thing in the world, what would it be and why? I would put a pay cap on all celebraties, atheletes & frivoluos law suits. The amount of money put into these intities are out of control. I understand and respect the craft & art of these various areas.. but if we as a society stop putting so much emphisas on the person, the status... and " the SHOW ME THE MONEY " aspect of it all... think of all of the areas that money could be used? For starters... OUR SCHOOLS & TEACHERS!! How in the world is it that teachers commit years on top of years educating, guiding, leading...and shaping the youth of today and 90% of them only bring in a little under $33,000 a year... but that is just in America? Think of all of the third world countries that recieve less than that? Who are we as a society to put this label of " role model " on atheletes, rappers, actors entertainers, singers &... and such? Let's take it back to the basics? If it wasn't for Miss CrapTree... teaching you your abc's & 123's you wouldn't even know how to find your shoes much less tie them.. Society needs to get over this " million dollar hero complex and give back to the folks that the money is do...and that is our TEACHERS!


2. Who would you say has had the most impact on your life to this point, and how? My Daughter Booca. She is the light of my life.. when depression weighed me down in the early years of her life... just her smile gave me a reason to keep on trucken. When I think back to my younger years of " Kicken it... in the streets at the club... " just thinking about this little bundle of energy who was waiting to see me taught me that.. well maybe the club just insn't fun anymore... kicken it was just not the place to be... My daughter helps to keep me grounded and humble. I must honor her & value her just as she does me. She is my gift that God has given me and my gift to Him is to honor & value her first just as she does me. And God does us..

3. If you won 10 million dollars, how would you use it to change your life and the lives of those around you? Wow... a cool million? Much less 10? Again, I would build a group home for parentless children-- with a team of spiritual staff, to feed mind, body, & spirt. I would build my dream home in JA..pay off ALL of my bills & my parents bills.... set up a retirerment fund for both my parents. Save a million each for my children's education & future lifestyle. And with any & all minut change??-- I would honestly have to say... hire a housekeeper & nanny.... WHEW... sistah gets tired of chasing kids around the house... I need help!!

Let me take a moment to thank JA.com for allowing me into your world.. this has been a really rough year ( or two ) for me.. and I can't tell you how I look forward to coming home from a long day at work and sitting in front of my computer to a place I like to think of as my second home... regardless of WHAT the outcome of this contest is... I have been rewarded greatly just by being a visitor into your homes...

I love ya.. JA.com!
