Remember National Youth Service? Many high school graduates applied for exemption. Not me. I did it for a year right after high school and before UWI. Anyone else?

Re: 1970s Jamaica

1) Green Bay
2) Establishment of garrison constituency
3) State of Emergency
4) The development of the dependency culture
5) Rapid increase in urbanisation at the expense of hte rural community
6)The destruction of institutions with replacemetn of compentent alternatives
7) The flightof capital and the destruction of a compentern manufacturing base.. I recall a roll call of buisness shutting down almost daily. reported on the news.... And politicans ignoring this as people lost work and exchanged truisms for pragmatisim... Empty words for solutions...
8) Shaving of Rasta's
9)The poltisation of the judicary
10) Cruel teachers
11) Teachers who knew less than me
12) Being threatened almost weekly.
13) A decade of things falling apart
14) People shooting at me and my family with shot guns.
15) Poor black people began being killed in silence and no one protesting.. For they were just Ghetto people
16) A gradually decaying health service...
17) And the flight of so many who post on here and or their parents.... I wonder why so many left this so often mentioned paradise of socialism, culture and good life....


Great bloody decade... Guess I must have missed the good part....
