One Don or Many Dons
When a country is rebellious, it has many rulers
- The Bible(NIV), Prov 28 v 2
Under the Seaga regime Jamaica was under the 'one don' governance. Under the PNP regime we were set free from the dictator. But now there is a vast proliferation of dons on every street corner and community.
The contrasting styles of both leaders manifests itself in the fruits we now see. Patterson though known to be architect of an expert PR machinery, is too silent at times. Turning what seems to be a blind eye to what tribal politics has done to the country.

Zeeks is now in jail. (I suppose the government no longer has any use for him) and the Phangs are undergoing their own battles in Arnett.
I don't believe in obeah. But I believe in the power of God.
Prayer alone however will not solve our country's crime problem. Launching missile and air strikes by prayer will result in temporary disruptions of the enemy's works, but the true occupation and claiming of territory can only be done by sending in ground troops (ie evangelism and a consant presence of the people of God). What if the elimination of these dons only results in more popping up all over the place to fill the void left?
Both political parties have both sown the seeds of political tribalism during the 70s and 80s. We are now reaping the fruits. Eliminating these weeds of destruction will take a long constant and concerted effort.
A truth commission as what they had in South Africa is probably what is needed.
The truth is that there are still many unresolved issues in our country's past that our politicians have yet to confront. Even presently there is still the thread that binds the MP of an area very closely with the 'area leader'.

Do we really expect crime to be solved in this environment?
By way, in my last post I said that at the end of the year the murder toll was around 1500. Its actually 1650.
Bless.

People of God I know since mid 2005 have been waging war spiritually against this very spirit of donmanship.
Now we see whole eap a di don dem a drop out.
