as I stated...it is important for jamaicans to remember....i wasnt talking about tourists. I agree with you that a tourist to jamaica certainly doesnt need too know its history too enjoy the beauty of the island or have a wonderful vacation. But i am not a tourist, i am a travelor. Sorry i struck a nerve with you, that was never my intention. I was simply pointing out the importance of history and the study of it. Upon deciding too visit Jamaica for the first time more then 15 years ago i did read the history of the island from the indians to the spanish. the english to the pirates. independence to bob marley. For me, the study of the history of the island and its people gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation for what I was seeing. To understand a place and the people who live there what better way then too study their history? The same would true whether you were planning a trip to china or italy or ghana. Even if visiting the usa. I respect your point of view and didnt mean too upset you....i just disagree with you. The adversity and trials the jamaican people have had too overcome to get where they are at is what makes them who they are and why i respect them and admire them as i do. And i wouldnt had i not decided too read their history first.


btw....congrats on your success with this web site, Its very clear you also love the people and the island. As i stated, no disrespect was intended at all.
