The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
From the safety and sanctitude of my home (or rather my parents' home), I read about and hear about a world, only about 15 or so minutes drive away from where we live (of course with no traffic!) where the things that go on there seem so foreign.
Am I living in the same Jamaica? How come when I moved in, I didn't have to be introduced to the people who run the area, so that they would know that it's ok to let me in? How come I don't have to rush home before it's dark, so that those who patrol illegally with their guns don't mistake me and put two in my back?
Why the great divide in this land of wood and water (that we all can't enjoy)? Why bother have elected leaders? Why don't we just do as we want? That's pretty much how it is now anyway. Law and order has no control.
