[Tropicana]

Seems a refresher course is needed for those who have forgotten and a WHOLE generation (no make that 2) that has come up since.

So what lessons did we learn and what are the implications for today?

Well u went there so u couldn't learn u migrated.....


The lesson I learnt from the 70s was that economic s is not a zero sum game...
..that the best political speech does not equal the most practical leader
..that beleiving ur own propaganda will choke you....
...the moment u make a rationalisation for a political murder to retain power u are doomed
...u have to create wealth before u can distribute it....
..telling ur opponent to either agree with you or leave and if they have the means they will leave...that is y Rich D fada had fi do 16 hour days and drive from Manchester to STE bush!
...calling white people Pork is rude....
And most important it is easier to blame someone else some stranger than to admit u are incompetent if u r a politician..

A jamaican pm promise Jamaica's a project that will bring 10000 jobs.get the media excited...tell people u made a deal with a communist country to build it..point at a enviromentally sensitive area no not the logistic hub...Luana... Yeah I remember Luana Point..…

I also learnt obeah, bush medicine, quantum physics, chemistry, geography, history,calculus, rocket science,nd Biology in Jamaica in the 70s...
Last thing BBC world service news I learnt was brilliant
