Byron Lee, Jamaican Calypsonian passed away

Byron lee, who is well known from Byron Lee and the Dragonaires calypsonian band, passed away quietly on November 4.  Byron lost the battle to cancer at age 73. Byron lee was known for his contribution to Jamaican music in the area of Calypso and Ska. While Trinidad is the Calypso country, Jamaica was able to hold its own because of Lee and his band the Dragonaires. Lee also started the Jamaica Festival over 20 years ago.  Our condolences go out to Lee's family and friends, rest in peace.

After watching the final debate the other night, it dawned on me that Obama could actually win this thing. If that happens, there will be a lot of JAMAICAN VOTERS who may not know how to conduct themselves!!  
 
To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, a Top TEN list of behaviors we should probably avoid - at least for the first few days   – have been put together   :
 
10. NO need to kill a goat and set up an OBAMA Drum Pan Stand !!

Two Canadian Radio Show comedians posed as French President Nicolas Sarkozy adn pulled the biggest prank of the century on V.P. to be Sarah Palin. Listen for yourself…

Lesbian gun-women are taking over the Go-Go clubs in Jamaica. Go-Go Clubs used to be dominated by men seeking a thrill in watching naked women dance. Now it turns out that many of these women are Lesbians themselves and their girlfriends are now part of the audience.

These girlfriends sometimes get very jealous when the men try to make it out with their Lesbian dancers and then the trouble start. The irony is that some of these women are "Shottas" and it said that few men have been known to get shot up at these clubs, for real. It can't get any better in Jamaica!

No Crime Plan will work without sacrifice

Have you ever wondered why the present government crime plan is producing fewer results than the previous government? Reason: There are no calls to sacrifice. No major battle ever won without sacrifice.

 

Before we can eradicate the scourge of crime from our society we must first admit that it is a major problem, a hindrance to prosperity. Crime cannot be seen as another issue to deal with. It must be tackled as the number one issue, maybe the only issue to deal with now. The society WILL NOT prosper with the present rate of crime, period.

 

So the government must do the following:

 

  1. Reduce the size of all monetary allocation to the other ministries and direct the resource to fighting crime.
  2. Allocate all available funds to fighting crime, even borrowing money.
  3. Double the size of the police force within the next two years
  4. Give the police all available technology and equipment necessary to fight crime
  5. Ask the banks to start a Crime Fund where Jamaicans abroad can contribute
  6. Modernize the witness protection program and give generous monetary reward to crime tipsters.

 

Once these measures are adapted and crime is under control, there will be a flood of investment to the Islands of the likes we could not imagine. There are millions of Jamaicans abroad that are willing to invest in their country, but they will not do so under the present climate of uncertainty. If every Jamaican overseas just build a house in the community where they are from this would create an impact on the economy that no foreign loans could match.
