RichD, you said "you go to jamaica and in no way does it appear to be a place on the brink of civil war."

I think the passengers on the Titanic felt the same way.

Anway Rich, is it your opinion that the money that is running through "unofficial channels" can sustain us in the long run ?

Errol, help mi out here man. I see your sinking fund calls for "money" to be "set aside". Are you in touch with what is going on at home my friend ? What money ? Are you aware that all our government Ministries owe billion upon billions of dollars to various providers of goods and services on the island and don't know how they are going to pay ? Read about the hush hush meeting the Minister of Finance held with the Permanent Secretaries the other day and tell me if this sounds like a Government that has what to "set aside".
