Are Jamaicans Ready For A Second Female PM?

The first one only served ONE term in office, because the commonweal in Jamaica was impatient with her inability to deliver on her promises.

However, could Portia Simpson Miller deliver the goods this time around, (41 of the 63 seats)? I think not.

Jamaican men are extremely chauvinistic, and having a woman at the helm of government makes it extremely difficult to get policies moving within the male dominated echelons of the governmental bureaucracy.

Unemployment And Crime:

These two elements are an ongoing dilemma for any government to get a grip of.

Lack of employment leads to lawlessness and criminal activities. And when the young and educated leave school and college, and are unable to find gainful employment. Some will emigrate abroad in search of betterment, while others become impatient, angry, resentful of authority, and less concerned with Civic, Moral, Legal, and other Social responsibilities.

Your Annual Income/s Will Determine Your Status In Society!

Your Annual Income/s Will Determine Your Status In Society!

There is great concern about the Middle Classes demise in most developed and developing societies. And current reality shows a downward spiral in those traditional categories that was considered Middle Class.

Most developed and technological advanced societies today are experiencing economic changes that conflict with traditional roles, that the Middle Class played in societal dynamics. Hitherto, most Middle Class jobs/employment was found in those stable and permanent positions that mass production, and factory oriented means or production provided.

Current economic reality does not fit this criteria any longer, with the advent of the Internet, Nano Technology, and the computerization of most industries, and industrial development.

So What Is the Middle Class To Do?

Firstly, the jobs to be had or will be provided in the future are technologically oriented, computerized, and Internet based. These require the knowledge of computers, computer programming, and other Internet related technology.

Solar Energy is also an industry on the rise too. Which will require hands to make those panels, and to service them periodically too. These skills have to be learned, and I am sure job security will also be guaranteed, as we move closer to clean energy and technological demands.

The Traditional Professional Jobs:

The professions like the Medical community, (General Practitioners and Specialists), Nurses, Technicians, Lawyers/Attorneys, Banking and Finance. These are reasonably secure positions, and will always be in demand.

PRISONS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE PRETTY:

PRISONS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE PRETTY:

This was taken from a report on france24.com TV. But what was the intention of incarcerating people anyway?

I think in the earliest days of penal colonies and camps, the idea was to punish those who broke the laws, or indulged in what the state felt was espionage, political unrest/dissent, and ethnic cleansing.

However, today in most developed countries that are affiliated with the United Nations are expected to honor the tenets of Human Rights Declaration, and most prisons seem to confirm to the basic expectations that are required, to ensure that all prisoners are treated humanely.

Humane treatment also has certain cultural connotations to it, because some would say that in China, Russia, Cuba, the united States, Eastern European countries, or (former Soviet Block Countries), the treatment therein is much to be desired.

Albeit, most ordinary people do not know what happens behind the prison walls in their respective countries, and most would never know anyway. But I presume most would want to believe that apart from the inmates paying for their crimes, they are also being re-habilitated with certain basic skills, and education, which would allow those who eventually leave that system to find gainful employment once again.

Russia Today Reporter Finds The Libyan Victory Contemptible!

Russia Today Reporter Finds The Libyan Victory Contemptible!

Russia Today/English TV has been implying in their reporting, that the people of Libya have been conned into believing that they won the national uprising. And when the dust settles, and the general elections are allowed. Those who emerge victorious will be lackeys for the western powers and commercial interests.

This kind of presumption worries me, for the simple reason that it dis-regards all of the deaths, injuries, loss of limbs, homes, and personal sacrifices paid, to make this day possible.

Of course it could not have been possible without the aerial bombardment and support of N.A.T.O. And the Libyan people requested this assistance from the outset, and was also prepared to allow for the loss of innocent civilian lives in the process of liberation. They saw it as a small price to pay for their long overdue liberation from oppression and stagnation.

Furthermore, your reporters at Russian TV may take the high ground, but how many foreign reporters are allowed in Moscow or any other City? And can Russians speak or write Freely on TV, or in the News Media in Russia?

I think not! The Libyans have won the Freedom to Speak, Write, and Dissent with this regime change!

KHADAFFI DIED LIKE A DOG IN THE STREET:

KHADAFFI DIED LIKE A DOG IN THE STREET:

THE LIBYAN DESERT RAT KHADAFFI IS DEAD:

This is the surrent report that is coming from aljazeera television. He was in a convoy heading out of CERT in flight from capture.

He told his people that they were dogs, that would be killed in the streets, their homes, and in their beds, if they did not obey his wishes. But he did not anticipate that his words would come to haunt him, and be his own victim too.

How pathetic, how prophetic, how the mighty has fallen!

BEING SLASHED UP WITH A SWORD:

Was being shown on video tape on Aljazeera TV today. This is how that DOG was killed in his hometown CERT.

SILENCING KHADAFFI MAY BE VITAL TO THE WESTERN POWERS:

Many of whom had secret deals with him. And if he could talk in A Court Of Law, may be very embarassing for many!

LIBYA MOVES FROM DICTATORIAL PATRONAGE TO DEMOCRACY!

LIBYA MOVES FROM DICTATORIAL PATRONAGE TO DEMOCRACY!

This will not be a smooth process for the new Libya. After forty years of dictatorship, without any form of political opposition or dissent allowed, or any formal governmental infrastructure that is not Gaddafi family oriented or managed.

What has to be done nationally is to allow the Interim Administration to set the ground rules and platform for a new collective representative platform of representatives, who truly reflect the various regions of the country, to prepare themselves for the National Election to Public Office.

This is not going to be an easy task, because the military defectors and general civilian revolutionaries, most of whom have shed blood, life, and limbs in the ousting of the Gaddafi Regime. Now wants to play a part in the new political administration nationally. This new awareness and voluntary involvement in the National Politics of Libya, will have to be seriously considered, and catered to.

Also any established military personnel should never be allowed to run for Political Office or Political Representation. Less we have a return to some form of military rule or dictatorship, hitherto experienced in Libya.

The Significance Of Labor Day Celebrations!

The Significance Of Labor Day Celebrations!

In most countries where there is a vibrant Labor Movement, Labor Day is celebrated for reasons like the following.

* Trade Unions historically are the representatives of workers and worker's rights in the work place.

* Trade Unions are supposed to be allowed to recruit members (without coercion or threats), in any work environment where there is more that twenty five members employed.

* Trade Unions are allowed on most societies where there is freedom to petition the government, and your employer for better wages, working conditions, disability benefits, health insurance, and the right to strike.

The Trade Union Movement In The USA:

Today, most trade unions that are still around here struggle to maintain their membership rolls, or to recruit new members, because most employers use every means necessary to prevent voluntary membership in the Unions that are operating in that work place.

Trade Unions generally are supportive of Democratic principles of government, and worker participation in the decisions in the work place, at all levels.

This attitude and desire often encounters serious bottlenecks and resentment from employers, who feel they are not supposed to listen to, or allow workers to tell them how to manage their businesses.

The Internationale:

This song is sung by Trade Union Movements/Worker's Organizations globally on Labor Day. It was first introduced in the former Soviet Union during the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution therein.

It also highlights the 1905, the Bloody Sunday massacremassacre of hundreds of demonstrators in St. Petersburg Square, renamed Leningrad, whom were murdered by the Czarist Palace Guards during the national insurrections prior to the fall of the Czar, and Czarist rule in Russia.
