One Love!


So there's one month left till my vacation. Let the count dowwwwwn begin! 30 days till I'm in Jamrock. However I'm a bit scared knowing the current situation out there. The United States issued a travel alert to warn citizens against visiting the island nation. Now for those of you who are not current events type of people.. and I don't mean who's winning American Idol, let me enlighten you with a brief description. 44 dead and 31 injured due to a drug lord being extradited to the US to be tried for crimes committed, he is wanted by the United States for alleged cocaine and arms trafficking. ,. Now we all know if you do the crime you gotta do the time.. or something like that. I am just in aw that people would harbor a criminal. I mean its pretty scary that innocent people have lost their lives with something that shouldn't even have to be justified. This man is bringing death to the Jamaican people and they still find a way to defend him. Now this is beyond being a Rastafarian, or the white man keeping us down.. Lets not take it personal, hand him over and call it a day! We sit here and listen to the great Bob Marley's songs and yes he was anti oppression, but he was for the just and what was right no matter what. This would have made him turn in his grave. I mention him cause people seem to associate Bob(and I call him bob, cause we go way back!)with rebellion and standing up for our rights.. but this my friends is rebellion of the wrong kind! My prayers go out to the people of Kingston who have lost loved ones over something so stupid. In the words of the Great Bob Marley “Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!" I'll take Politics for 100 please!

  1. I heard this guy created schools, housing and all sorts of opportunities for people in Jamaica. I don't condone how he's gone about getting his fortune but I can see, in a very small way, how people in Jamaica would defend him. He's done what the government hasn't been able to do for them.

  2. I havent heard that.. but I will tell you that for every school he built he prob had 10 school kids slingin those drugs for him. He needs to come forward and relate the message that people should put an end to this. He has the power to do so! There are many like him out there and it doesnt make it right.. Schools, Job, Housing.. What about Death, Drugs and Violence!I guess since he did good his bad should be exonerated....NOT!
