oh oh ::: Ja-Election .... Feb 25th

[Odinson]

I and I were there in Treasure Beach for the 2012 election when Miss P got in and will be in Negril for this one - the island was electric! Felt bad for a guy that worked at the rented house - as soon as he heard the celebratory horns he knew he lost his other job. Just need to be careful with the colors of my shirts...

Everyone knows that elections in the distant past have been wrought with violence but you do Jamaica a disservice to characterize the more more recent elections as being violent. You can talk Seaga, Manley etc. election years as somehow a precursor of new elections but recent history would tell you that is a false comparison.

Are there still "garrisons"? Yes, but not like the Tivoli Gardens, Trench Town, etc. of the past. In fact, referring to them as "garrisons" in the military sense would again be a misinterpretation of them today. They are still politically loyal to one party or the other but describing them as armed encampments is stretching a problem into a pandemic. "Guns"? Yes, too many. Just like in the United States and senseless killing is way too much.

If this election is anything like the last election, the Jamaican Election will be no more violent than the US Elections per capita.

Thanks, boardie-Accompong

when i'm next on the island,
and I hear a Jamaican refer to those communities as a '''..garrison..''
I'll make it a point to tell 'em that they're ''..misinterpreting...'' things.

when next i'm listening to those Jamaican radio talk-shows, on Power106-FM
and the host(s), commenators, etc refer to the communities as garrisons,
i'll dial my phone, ,,, call in,,,, and tell them they shouldn't be saying that

when one of dem Ja-politicians dew-wheat, will correct dem too
