Remove the Human Infestation

 

Portland Rock Expedition, Pedro Cays, Jamaica 

Pedro Cays, are four small, flat (2 to 5 metres high), low-lying and mostly uninhabited cays, lie about midway along the southern edge of the eastern half of Pedro Bank. The Middle Cay was captured by 400 to 500 people as a fishing outpost, of which about 150 are “women”. I have been told the place have a make shift bar and a Go-Go club, in one interview a man describe the place as being filled with prostitutes and nightly merriment. These people are just the nastiest most disgusting set of people I have ever seen, they have converted a once beautiful island into a shanty town, filled with shacks as they live and eat among their own waste and filth, they pay no taxes, most are not licensed fishermen but demand that the Government spend tax payers money to improve their living conditions. Among the health and environment issues at the Pedro Cays are the absence of running water, a lack of toilet facilities and a rapidly increasing garbage dump but they have bars, Go-Go club, whores and nightly merriment? WTF!!!

Garbage and Filth!

I read that during a conversation between the Jamaica Environment Trust and the representatives of the squatters, the trust outline some possible solution with involves new Rules and Regulations as to how Pedro cays should be used. The poor and downtrodden hates Rules and Regulation, they do not like it and are not afraid to tell anyone who dare propose any Rules and Regulation where they can stick it.

Disgusting Animals!!

If the people who live over there have no sense of decency, not even the basic concept of picking up after themselves, much less making sure their surroundings are clean and tidy then throwing money at it, is like throwing pearls before nasty disgusting swines, It will only become a sink hole for money. Yes basic service is required but I would prefer to remove the Human Infestation, they are like a virus and remove their shacks and return the area to the wild as wild animals have more respect for nature, themselves and their surroundings.

Poor Masked Booby bird trying to hatch her eggs amid them filth!!

When people discuss "Invasive Species" they typically mean plants and animals that are introduced to an area and wipe out resident species and upset the ecosystem. It never occurs to people that HUMANS are also an invasive species and it does not get any more invasive than them nasty people!

"I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure."

Might as well the sea level rise and reclaim the Cays

This is how I think this small Island should look:

Miskito Cays Nicaragua

Instead this is how Middle Cay look today:

People who created the filthy conditions and living amongst it!!!

"And Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries Roger Clarke returned from their visit to the Pedro Cays said he was buoyed by the residents' apparent willingness to help solve the problem…

In addition to the absence of running water, residents have had to contend with poor and inadequate toilet facilities that have prompted them to designate an area on the tiny island to pass urine and faeces. At the same time, they have also done battle with an increasing garbage dump, which some among them have said has to be burnt each night to prevent it reaching their doors."

......By Agent86


Let’s be clear on three things first.

• I've only refereed one match. It was an U-12 game in 1990-something 
• I only saw the last 15 minutes of the Liverpool vs. Manchester United match yesterday 
• Players win or lose games but referee decisions matter

Broadcasters should put up some indication of when a team is playing a man short because of a red card. With modern graphics/technology, how difficult would that be? Mind, just from the flow of the match at the point I started watching, it was a little hard to tell that the teams were not even numbers-wise. That is typical of a match where the home team is down, attacking, and playing with more urgency than the team that is trying to “kill off” the game.

Very late into added time, Luis Suarez was fouled near the United penalty area, maybe five meters wide of the box and certainly not close enough to pose a significant threat to the United goal. Nevertheless, he was fouled. Liverpool kept possession but in doing so, the ball was now back farther up-field. Yes, the advantage rule is designed to keep the fouled team from losing momentum, position, and/or the attack potential that may be thwarted if the game is stopped for a free kick – and even for issuing a yellow card since that can be done the next time play is stopped.

When Mark Halsey chose not to blow the whistle for the foul on Suarez, he invoked the advantage rule. Fine! However, when he failed to consider that the ball had been played away from the United goal, he allowed the team already with an advantage to reposition itself and edge closer to the final whistle. When Halsey did not consider that Liverpool were down not just Jonjo Shelvey for the red but also the injured Martin Kelly, he was NOT playing the advantage rule.

Mark Halsey The Twelfth Man!

Unless the ball was heading into United’s net or unless a Liverpool player was in a clear position to put the ball into the net from the next pass after the foul, then what advantage is there in allowing the team with two more players to reshape itself and let more time to pass? Once again a referee failed to make the appropriate decision. Which is common enough, but the beneficiaries are once again the team from the red side of Manchester.

What is wrong with this statement?

"Do you have the support of your prime minister in securing the IMF deal," Holness asked as he noted that any delay in inking a deal with the multilateral could be "detrimental to the very people that you are trying to protect".

A House Divided... 

I have never heard Republicans refer to the President as your president (even though they hate his guts and Rep. Joe Wilson Called Obama A Liar During State of Union Address) or members of the British Parliament refer to the Prime Minister as your Prime Minister even though during Prime Minister Question and Answer Time they can get pretty rowdy. It is The President, our President or The Prime Minister or Our Prime Minister…. The implication form the Hon. Andrew Holness is that The Prime Minister is only the Prime Minister of half the country but not his half, it clearly sends the wrong message to an already fractured and divided society. It is a statement I expect from old, past them prime, gray back, politicians, old dogs that cannot be thought new tricks and tribal, partisan, diehards but not from the young, vibrant, up and coming 21 century politicians/leaders who should represents hope for the future and will lead the country one day.

Must Fall!!!

Sometimes it would be nice if the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader would deliver a common statement together, showing a unified front for example against external attacks, instead of nip picking at each others every word like kids in a school yard, it gets boring and predictable. I have seen this done in a number of countries with positive effects, it sends the message that yes we might have our differences but make no mistake we are Jamaicans and will close ranks if Jamaica is attacked. We all understand that part of the job of being in politics is to go at each others throats like mad rabid dogs but it should not be the entire job.

I did not even see a bipartisan display of togetherness during the Jamaica 50 celebration, yes both parties were represented at various functions but they were there in body not in the spirit of Jamaica’s 50 year Anniversary of Independence. Nothing happened between them that would make me walk away from the celebrations feeling secure in the knowledge that our future looked promising. Before the start of the celebration various members of the Government and opposition was constantly at each other’s throat, cursing loudly and disgustingly like people living in a low class ghetto tenement yard on capture land. One would think that they would have buried the hatchet (though not in each other’s back) for the grand celebration showing the people some form of Nationalistic and Patriotic Solidarity and Pride.

I continue to be deeply disappointed at the members of the political class. They have let us down in the past, are letting us down now and will no doubt continue to let us down in the future. They make no attempt to raise the level of discourse within our society and continue to send the wrong message to the younger generation, that this is a dog eat dog world, every man for himself, go get yours any which way you can world.

"Left to themselves, political parties will quickly degenerate into machines for votes, attacking opponents, distributing the spoils of office and electing candidate....MM"

Small Examples of Bipartisan Behaviour I have read about:

• -Romney gets bipartisan scolding over his criticism of Obama administration
• -Hoyer Remarks at Bicameral, Bipartisan Press Conference Urging Joint Select Committee to "Go Big"
• -Senate Bipartisan Press Conference on Climate Change Legislation
• -Rep. Dold's Bipartisan Press Conference on the Looming Fiscal Cliff
• -Rep. Dold at a Bipartisan Transportation Press Conference

I remember How proud I was watching the event that took place

A Short Blurb about Customer Service

Some time ago I stopped in the supermarket in Barbican to pick up a few items, while in the line I noticed the cashier with the most miserable grumpy look on her face… I started wondering why is customer service so bad in Jamaica, what could possibly make this woman so unhappy and upset.

Then I started to observe the customers and I quickly realized why this woman was so upset and unhappy. Jamaican Customer service providers and customers are locked in a vicious circle of dislike, the poor girl had to suffer one disrespect and abuse after another and it did not matter the economic status of the customers. So it seems customer service providers go to work and before they face the customers put on the “do not mess today face” to combat the onslaught of verbal and physical abuse that they must deal with on a daily basis. On this particular day I decided to do the opposite, when it was my turn I walked up to her with a big “Good morning my love, how are you today” and a smile. The animated change in her face and mannerism was amazing, priceless, first it was shock as she was taken aback, then realization, after which she had the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, as she responded “I am fine thank you, how are you doing?”. We chatted a bit about the day while she rang me up and said our good byes while wishing each other a wonderful day.............

I went to a Government office downtown, it was pack, noisy and unruly as one man shouted at the girl behind the counter... “Hey dutty gal, yu foot dry so, yu naw come serve man!” … to the laughter and agreement of the crowd… I stood there in silence with a disapproving look on my face with my papers in hand. The girl walked up to the counter and called me forward... “How can I help you today” and before I could answer the same man unleashed a string of verbal attacks which she ignored like a true champion, I conducted my business and exited the office leaving him cussing like a drunken sailor..........

My first job on leaving school was working for the Government dealing with customers so trust me when I say that Jamaicans are not the easiest people to deal with. Most have a master/slave relationship with customer service providers in which they are the masters and the provider are the slaves who should take any amount of abuse, because they think the customer is always right. Then there is everyday common manners and courtesy which most lack, no pleasantries, just rude, papers thrown on desk or at the person. One of my co-workers at the time got spat on, flush right in her face simply because she dared to tell a customer to wait a bit.

APOPHIS
Goa'uld System Lord
Apep, The Serpent God
Brother of Ra

Evil Bad Guy!

Think of Customers Service Providers and Customers like a “Goa'uld” (pronounced “go-AH-oold”) from my favorite science fiction TV show Stargate SG1 (Yes I am a Geek), with each person having two different individuals sharing the same body, one aggressive and rude the other passive, kind and polite. Then just before they interact with customers, they consciously gives control over to their aggressive “Goa'uld” personality as a mean of self-preservation, a kind of fright or flight response mechanism. Customers must put on their game face thus hulking out to deal with service providers and service providers do the same before they approach the counter. I saw it first hand with my co-workers, they are nice and normal in the back room and before they exit to start their shift of Customer servicing they tranforrm!!! Like Mumm-Ra in the Thunder Cats or Dr. Bruce Banner into the Hulk…

It does not take much to change the customer service experience and customers must realize that they are just as responsible for the kind of service they get and the kind of service we are given and service providers must try harder to be indifferent to aggression, like water off a ducks back stick to the script of being nice, polite and attentive to customers and try to defuse any tension that may build up between both of you....Jah know the alternative is not worth the bother.

Thank you for visiting, please do come again and have a wonderful day.

The Pursuit for True Freedom and Authentic Long Lasting Happiness for All

As we laugh, party, dance, build new relationships, watch television, enjoy the Olympics, live on Facebook and twitter, send our kids to school, worry about GSAT, CXC, SATs, GMAT, MCATs, etc, strive to move up the corporate and social ladder, go to job interviews and so as we human beings on this planet participate in these and our myriad other rituals

I wonder...

As a curious observer of life on this planet today I wonder how many others notice...

Notice that the institutions of politics, finance, energy, education, health care, and most importantly the ecosystem are headed toward near-certain collapse.

Notice the amount of trees that are destroyed daily, notice the amount of topsoil erosion, habitat destruction, irreversible loss of biodiversity, disappearing rainforests, the dead rivers, lakes and seas, the imminent water crisis,

Notice our almost, total dependence on fossil fuels and the corruption that drives the industry.

Who notices the political trend toward fascism and a surveillance state, brought on by the patriot act and 9/11?

Who notices that our health is being destroyed by our food, that our natural god given right to sow and reap unadulterated crops from the earth is under attack?

Who notices that we are spoon-fed information through the concentrated media and educational system that we regard as truth and reality instead of investigating the truth for ourselves using our own ability to read, reason and draw our own conclusions?.

Who notices that the majority of us spend most of our day to day lives unhappy, slaving for money in the belief that exploring our talents to find something that we could be more happy at is a waste of time?

Who notices that most conflict in this world are brought about because we believe that we are different…separate?

I wonder how many others notice...


Well we may THINK that we are different because we share different belief systems, different ideologies, different skin colour, different language, different social backgrounds and academic experiences.

But we only THINK that we are different because we are shallow and we don’t see beyond the surface.

Even if you don’t understand things unseen, it is clear that we are ALL materially dependent on a couple of things:

Air, Food, Water, Energy sources and the Environment as a totality and Human connection.

ALL of these resources are under obvious threat due simply to greed and ignorance.

This is a time of great jeopardy but also a time of wonder.

A wondrous time due to our awakening consciousness, more and more people are uniting, coming together, it is a time of growing activism and curiosity about the roots of the modern situation. It is also a time of unveiling the knowledge.

So, dive in…know that your more conscious choices will change the world:

• Pursue sustainable living make it known to the “powers that be”
• Love and accept people without trying to aggressively change them, instead be patient and lead by example
• Follow your passion
• Ignite your creative spark
• Understand why nature is the key
• Think about what you want for yourself and want for your world and walk that way.
• Immerse yourself in the positive (people, books, music, images, etc)
• Read more, get informed understand that the most informed of us really understand very little.
• Understand math, science, astronomy,history, philosophy, spirituality, you wouldn't BELIEVE the connections, you wouldn't BELIEVE the developments…
• Release fear and worry, these result from ignorance.
• Do the work, transform yourselves little by little, we evolve if we want to.

Good luck
Have a great week
