    What I find interesting is several folks who do not see the thieves as 100% of the problem. Leave your valuables at home, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

    And who elected Ping Pong as the almighty one Fred?

    damn auto correct. I meant Accompong........

    Actually the Jam economy is heavily dependent on services, which account for 65% of GDP..it dervies most of its foreign exchange from tourism, remittances (hello western union) and bauxite/alumina.Tourisim industry provides about one-forth of all jobs..

    this comes from the 2013 cia worldbook facts ...

    Tourisim may not be bread and butter but its worth more than a roll of paper towels....
