Actually most Jamaicans dont listen to much Reggae. Thats like assuming All Americans listen to old Elvis records. They listen to a Reggae/Rap infusion along the lines of "Shaggy." Secondly, the closest I came to that *ucked up corporate mockery of Carib culture known as Margaritaville was walking by one at Sangster Intl. and noticing all the fat ass Texans and thier bratty kids and wondering to ourselves why anyone would eat such shyit when there is so much better food to be had all around. Jimmy Buffet is an asshole that has done as much to destroy his paradise as United Fruit Inc. We spent our trip in the Jamaican Backwater in Westmoreland Parish. The nearest airport was three hours drive away. The nearest bank was an 45 minutes away and had 2 M-16 toting guards out front. If you had any clue about Reggae, you'd know that one of Bob Marley's songs was about "kill da white people" and even he was a fruitcake of the highest order who would starve himself into hallucination in a remote cave to come up with songs that would make him more money, and he refused medical treatment for infection which cost him his ass.
lastly, I should clarify that my comments weren't directed at Jamaicans as a whole, just that segment of thier society that is causing the lot of them so much anguish.

Rastafarianism is right up there with Mormonism and Islam in thier militant dogma. What do you expect out of a group of illiterates that think Haile Sellasie (Thier "Lion of Judah") the dead, deposed king of Ethiopia is god incarnate?

Irie, mon, It's alright.
