Many of you remember the scandal last year over sand being stolen from a beach in Trelawny and put on another beach allegedly by a hotelier. Well this is not limited to Jamaica. It is happening in Mexico.
It is amazing what technology can do to. The old bible has been pieced together using computers. It has now been made new and can be viewed online here.
With the rumors of Air Jamaica’s possible sale and a name change I was alerted of the importance of souvenirs. Last week a relative showed me their Air Jamaica “stuff” that they will be keeping in pristine condition as a souvenir if the airline is sold. Typical when I get the Air Jamaica fans I give them to my children to play and I use bags. Now I am re-thinking things. I need to get some Air Jamaica “stuff” to keep, even though I don’t know what the future brings.
I heard part of Gov. Palin’s speech this past weekend. She took some nice shots at just about everyone in a very subtle way. One of those shots was at Hollywood and “hunting/ant-second amendment”. She mentioned that Hollywood would use “use these delicate, tiny, very talented celebrity starlets” to their anti-hunting and anti-second amendment point across to the public. I think she is right about what Hollywood does to influence the culture. I have seen it on TV and in the movies. The hammer you with their view of the world until you become “numb” to thier point of view and cave in. I gave up watching some TV shows that I loved because I saw an agenda being pushed. They would right a script that tugged at your heart with actors that give a magnificent performance.
Will Hollywood push the anti-hunting and anti-second amendment agenda Gov. Palin mentioned in her speech? I don’t know. But she certainly hits the nail on the head on how they normally push an agenda.
I frequently get emails or see comments on the site about Rastafari being displayed in a “bad light” therefore it reflects on all Jamaicans. Three the comments/emails this week struck a cord because of the pattern I have seen over the years. People who are not Jamaican or did not grow up in Jamaica assume that every Jamaican know about Rastafari or must defend it.
I am fortunate to know a “little bit” due to research and discussions with close family members who are “true Rastafarians” however that average Jamaican does not have a clue. With that said how can they expect the average non-rastafarian Jamaican to respond when they ask if you are offended as a Jamaican because of a Rasta image being used for something deemed as “unclean”? What if you think Rastafari is a cult are you obligated as a Jamaican to defend it? Many non-Jamaicans think so.
