I have been doing some reflecting rcently, while listening to a CD I found. The CD was Renaissance Culture Mix (I am unsure of the year, or if another CD like it has been released since), however it got me thinking about the state of the world. How much a little posititve music can do... The world is grossly unfair as we would all have found out already. The person who yearns for work is usually the person that is least likely to get it. The world is full of three types of people, the rich ones, who can get anything they desire, the ambitious ones that want to achieve much in life and the ones who are not ambitious and do not seek to "jump" at opportunities. Which ones of these persons do you want to be?

The world is going crazy due to the spread of the threat of recession. However, i firmly believe that recession is only a concept developed by the capitalists of the world, to further deprive the poor and feed the rich. If we really think about it, the problem is not the availability of resources, but the distribution and the use of these resources. In Jamaica, the saying, " donkey say di worl' nuh level " goes to show that the balances of the world are almost always tipped towards the wealthy and the powerful.

April 21, 2008. (AP) New forms of synthetically sweetened cocaine has been discovered in California by federal drug agents who hope to stop its development before it becomes available to other parts of the nation. Drug agents said the new product was more sophisticated than previous forms that attempted to mix cocaine with powdered candy. The previous form was cut with extra flavoring, thus making it less potent, but the amount seized last week was full-strength, investigators say. Flavors included strawberry, coconut, lemon and cinnamon.Drug Enforcement Agents discovered the 1.5 pounds of synthetically sweetened cocaine in two homes in Modesto, Calif. The drugs would earn $1,100 to $1,400 an ounce on the street, compared to regular cocaine, which sells for $600 to $700 an ounce, they said.Gordon Taylor, the DEA’s assistant special agent in charge of the investigation, said the possibility of a candy-flavored cocaine epidemic would be extremely dangerous to children and teenagers....

It has been mentioned several times on the news about the JUTC (Jamaica Urban Transit Company) wanting to take over the UWI and UTECH chartered bus routes. As they declare that the UWI and UTECH buses are infringing on their routes and as such they have the right to take them (the routes) back.

Driving home from school today was really depressing. The amount of mad (schizophrenic) people or homeless people that I pass on my way home, really got me today. I am not sure why it was today of all days that it affected me, but it did. Sometimes the things they say are funny, but their existence, their meagre existence, is not only pitiful, but heart-breaking. What can we do for these people? I want to live a life of purpose, one that will change people's lives. I don't want to be another observer I want to do something, to change something, to be something.....
