dash & TAH,

Like I said on my post Politically speaking the debate can be long without conclusion to who is right or wrong. My original question on this thread was what can we do (if anything) as individual citizens to have some impact?? Don't vote??? Protest??? Write letters to politicians??? Become politicians???

It becomes clear to me that Russia and Iran are suffering currently by sanctions and now the crash in oil prices. Unfortunately we receive our world news through the mouthpieces of the media so the factual content can be questionable.

Dash, simple it is not nor do I pretend to have answers. Many have made a killing in the Markets recently (maybe not the past week) but for me as previously stated I don't have extra funding to invest at the moment.

Here in New England the economy is still very precarious despite the constant rhetoric from the politicians stating positive growth.

Not wanting to turn this board or post into a political commentary I will close by saying Jamaica is a great country, Negril is a beautiful beach town and the Jamaican people are some of the nicest I have ever met. Let's hope that the island and the people benefit by the current downward trend in Lower Fuel Prices!!!
