Re: JLP Ads on UTube!
Not at all do I hate to hear it. We must break away from the stagnant past. That stagnation is represented by the power that has been in for the past 18 years.
The change and the hope that I see is with not Eddie Seaga, but with Bruce Golding.
When he formed the NDM he proposed reforms and changes that would tackle corruption and power.
When he went back to the JLP, he said his proposals would still be in line.
Yes, there needs to be much more radical changes that includes the people strangled in poverty.
Education and training people to be skilled and employable is a step that must be taken. We cannot sfford to have a dunce population that requires labour from China to build stadia like the ones in Sligoville and Greenfields and what else God knows.
Jamaica is far back down the scale of advancement compared to most other countries. We were once a flagship nation advancing in the capitalist world. Yes, the poor were always made promises, where wealth would trickle down once the economy got going and that is mean and contemptuous still of the people by the educated and the owners of capital and power. But at least, they could understand left from right. They had a job to go to in the mornings. They weren`t as much drawn to the drug and dancehall cult of today relying on the sale of dope and the kindness of the soundman at the latest session.
They weren`t as reliant on what remittances and barrels of goodies that were sent by the fortunate cousin and sister who made it to the USA, Canada and UK.
Bruce Golding stands for radical change and if not radical, at least some change which is a must for Jamaicans in Jamaica to bring about that release from the shackles of the past that you quite rightly say we must break loose from.
When Bruce fails or stalls on his momentum when given the reins of power to administer that change, then I will give up all hope in my life time for better in my island home, Jamaica.
Unfortunately, the PNP does not stand for change. They to me are the villains because after having that power to administer change and steer a course of decisive leadership, instead have flitted and flatted and not demonstrated to Jamaica that they are about Jamaica as much as they are about the PNP and their tribal interests first and at the expense of the nation on the whole.
I only hope that Bruce Golding will live up to the expectations of that change that is needed when elected to power come 17th August, 2007.
We have no one else at this stage willing to lead a nation, asking to be elected to steer the nation so for me it has to be, change.
We have up to now, no Jamaican Castro, no Jamaican Lee Kwan Yu, No Jamaican Karl Marx, No Jamaican Engels, No Jamaican leader of significance that has taken up the rope laid down and left by colonial Britain. No Busta, No Manley, no Garvey, no Shearer, No Patterson, no Seaga and worst, No Portia has took Jamaica and presented her to the world and said, here we are, move over.
I dont know if Bruce can be the exception but for now he has got to be and the pressure will be on him more than Simpson-Miller on putting up for power now.
