USC, have you considered that this is the way people earn a living? There are very few jobs in Jamaica, so tourism and selling things to tourists is the #1 economy in this poor country. The majority of Jamaicans are proud people and if given the chance, would not sell items on the beach to make a living. No one has a choice of where they are born or the conditions they are born into. We who were born in a country that offer opportunities really had no decision in the matter. I work in social services and on behalf of people in need. If they had a choice, they would not be in the situation they are in. I know all the lines about "pulling yourself uo by your bootstraps" and that whole line of thinking. One thing many of us in the US, Canada, and many other countries have is access to opportunity. We didn't do anything to deserve it, we were fortunate enough to be born into it. A few words for your consideration. Blessings on you.
