The only way in which Jamaica became independent is in the way of good governance.

TRUTH IS reality. And reality,IS TRUTH.

I told some ONE,years ago,that St.Elizabeth WAS the BIG-GEST Parish IN JAMAICA. And they dis agree.They said, Jamaica's capital city, which IS Kingston, was.(Because, Kingston IS MOST popular area and gets ad-ver-tised more.)

(This IS D RIGHT PAGE 2 dis-CUSS.)

FROM LOW-land(s) 2 D ROCK(ies).>There IS St.E...

From OCEAN beaches 2 D MOUNTAINS- TREES TOP. >There IS St. E...

St.Elizabeth STOPS, almost,at Montego=Bay.(another beautiful city.)

St. Elizabeth STOPS, almost,at Mande-ville. (another Cool, kool SPOT.

WHERE JA WAS NOT >>>> St. E.....IS.?

I take THIS OPPORTUNITY, to WISH JaMAIcA..N, all citizens (BLESSED) PROSPERITY, HEALTH, WEALTH from D INSIDE OUT, DURING THIS 2014 Independence Thanks-GIVING Service and BEYOND...>>>>

....And a ONE HEART, ONE MIND, ONE SPIRIT to TRULY LOVE, OUR Sisters and Brothers. OUR NEIGH-BORS.

So, WE JAMAICANS - BE KNOWN BY OUR (gen-u-ine)LOVE.

.....(H.I.) HAPPY! HAPPY INDEPENDENCE, MY BELOVED JAMAICA! NOW and EVER....Sa-lute!!!

My HEART BELONGS 2 JAMAICA: May PEACE ALWAYS BE,

WITH-IN YOUR BORDERS. AND YOUR SEASONS, BE BRIGHT AS the MID-DAY SUN:

Odyssey, what do you mean, we have good governance?
If yes you must be living on the North Pole and have not heard a word about the country for the past 52 years.

The reality is, St Catherine is the largest parish in terms of land mass followed by St Ann with St Elizabeth coming in third, so what is truth for some one is not necessarily true for every one.
The real truth is, Jamaica is not an independent country, neither political nor financial and will never be independent until we learn to produce the means of our subsistence.
When we can tell the IMF that we don't need them, and the IDB, and the world bank,and the G8 countries and the UN Then and only then will we have something to celebrate
In the mean time, enjoy the sun, sea and sand and the mascaraed.

Archie... Good governance is precisely what it has been free of in the past 52 years.

We should beg England to take us back.

Calabash Man, the old British system has left Jam in confusion. Architecture/ Designs, IN old school BOOKS about land mass, for you and me to LEARN.(things have changed, believed me)

This page IS to "Celebrate" Jamaica DAY(s). I WANT TO KEEP it FREE and CLEAN FROM hostility: no offense, ok.

I would GIVE U a RUN for YOUR MONEY. But,ARGUING with U,will leak OUT ENERGY that I presently NEED. You already MADE UP YOUR MIND to FIGHT:

I AM a LOVER, NOT A FIGHTER.<

Calabash Man, YOU have SAID some IN-SULTING WORDS against Jamaica: My BIRTH country...which YOU, I believed, presently lived ON.

YOU were GIVEN an OPPORTUNITY,to live ON that SOIL. YOU could have gone foreign. But, YOU REMAIN. To READ YOUR INSULTS,IS VERY AP-PAUL-ING.

Jamaica IS A VERY GOOD COUNTRY/ LAND<<< It may have its' weak-ness like every country. But, there IS NO PLACE LIKE MY HOME:

It has its short comings.But, with REAL, GOOD HEARTED, LEADERS-ship...there IS NOTHING, that CANNOT be fixed.

YOU are frustrated by what YOU see. Why do YOU not JUMP IN the BOAT and START PAD-LING to SHORE, for safety. Rather than, cursing the BOAT, for not MOVING:

Calabash Man, ADD YOUR POSSIBLE, and YOU will NOT SEE the IM-pos-si-bil-ities.

BE a LIFE BOAT for JAMAICA and RIDE the GOOD TIMES, high waves. When JAMAICA PROSPER, so will Ja families and their trading, countries partners.

It IS NOT about YOU. or, me. IT IS ABOUT US-US-US.

TO-GETHER WE STAND, SEP-A-RATED WE fall / fail.

The country YOU BUILD UP TODAY, may be YOUR HOME TOWN, TOMORROW:

Enough IDEAS here, for YOU to TURN JAMAICA, RIGHT SIDE UP!

Wishing YOU and YOURS' "Calabash Man" a HAPPY 2014, THANKS-GIVING Jamaica"s DAY & YEAR....

(I Salute Jamaica) very encouraging but in reality the country does not present it self for changes because of the dept of corruption that has been allowed to generate into our society for so many years ,it has been accepted by a wide majority of our populace, corruption has become the norm it sad but true,you can say if we all fold our arms and do or say nothing thing will be the same ,we will need a revolutionist to uplift the people and take on the part of righteousness or maybe we should pray again for devine intervention .

Hi Jamrock, Thank YOU! for your APPRECIATION for my NOTE, on,"I Salute Jamaica." On Jamaica"s SOIL,IS where i first took my earthly breath,IN the BACK-ROOM, of my GRAND FATHER'S HOUSE. I was born and my mother said, the Nurse slap my Back-side. I cried, meow, meow. I was GIVEN my first water bath.Then, got covered UP with clothes/ or,Towel and was given to the ONLY WOMAN i KNOW, as MOTHER. HISTORY NOW, re-calls my (Jamaica)leg-acy. (giving you a glimpse, of me. more to tell.but,time does not per-mit.) ex; laugh, cried,played cricket,hand ball, swim,attended school,explore parishes,etc: I prefer HEINZ FISH, with Tomato Sauce, more than Lobster in Lemon sauce. (i HOPE READERS does not dis-like me.)

Hi JAMROCK, Jamaica CANNOT GOVERN IT-SELF. It NEEDS Jamaicans.

When YOU SAY, the country does not present it self for changes because of corruption dept,that been allowed to generate into our society for many years and has been accepted by wide majority of our populace and corruption has become the norm. (very sad,indeed.)

I am ASKING YOU to EXPLAIN,for me to under-stand:

Are YOU speaking about the country-the land. Or, the politicians- leaders-ship, of the country?

Also, Parents and Teachers,etc, as leaders.

JAMROCK, PEOPLE MUST WANT CHANGE, BEFORE ANY CHANGE WILL COME. Change IS a CHOICE. YOU CHOOSE IT. Or, YOU LOSE IT.

Force-ing people against THEIR FREE WILL, is not FREEDOM. Its bondage. Every day WE ARE GIVEN FREE WILL and CHOICE. What WE DO WITH IT, IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY: (good,or bad. Like,or no like.)

Many Jamaicans have FALLEN INTO RELIGION. But, with RE-FRESH-ING, things CAN CHANGE, if THEY CHOOSE. (JAMROCK, the GOD YOU BELIVE IN, GIVE CHOICES, DOES HE NOT?

JAMROCK, the revolutionist and righteousness YOU SPEAK of, will TELL YOU, that righteousness EXALTS a NATION. But, sin BRINGS it DOWN.

Righteousness EXALTS a NATION. But, sin IS AN AP-PROACH TO ANY PEOPLE:

JAMROCK, I LEARNED that PRAYER and EX-PEC-TA-TION can BRING, DEVINE INTER-VENTION.

How POWERFUL IS PRAYER command?....
I learned that a few men was IN a boat. Leaving from...to Cross over to the OTHER SIDE, on land. When they got FAR INTO the Ocean, NATURES' Wind and Waves, got stir-red up. The 2 elements of nature, was so strong, they TOSS-ED the Boat FROM SIDE, to SIDE. The Water was coming IN, to sink the Boat. The Mast that GUIDE the boat, was being torn down. (no hope then.)

The MAN who told THEM earlier, "WE ARE GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE" was SLEEPING IN the Boat bottom. Un-aware of what IS OCCURING(in a deep sleep).
When they saw no way out of this STORM, fear/ PANICK set IN, nothing THEY could do. They saw the MAN sleeping and screaming at HIM- SHOUTING, "don't YOU CARE WE PERISH(or die).

The MAN awoke FROM HIS sweet sleep. Got UP and said, "PEACE, BE STILL!" and the WINDS and WAVES obey him. When the men saw what happened, they said to each other. "What KIND of MAN IS THIS, that the Wind and Waves obeyed HIM."

JAMROCK, NEXT TIME, if YOU get caught IN ANY STORMS. DO what the SLEEPING MAN, GOT UP and DID. SPEAK ONLY.<<<

What is really happening here?

A shambles! that what is happening here
