All these people that are crying about government , they capture the government unused lands that are known to disaster repeatedly and when the disaster struck and distroy there shocks they call on government to assist them in places that not even animal nore insects should be. I think both and all government try to help these people to help but as you know jamaican people full of pride They just like to sit all day and listen to the talk show like wilmot dutty perkins sitting there cursing goverments . All the people want free lands but them dont want to buy it .I am asking whitch ever government that take powers monday to bulldose them off there lands and let them sign up at the NHT office for an house and a back yard and must produce a land title and it must be approved ,to place an house on that piece of land .Land must be inspected before by the NHT and the government agency before the owner can even think of putting a bag of sand on that piece of land. These people are living in some difficult places that the NWA, NWC JPS and C&W cant reach but yet still they want fast service like they living on the side of washinton blvd. Come on people get yourself together and your act Blame yourself to be living in difficult places and cant get the speedy help that you are to get and entitle to and stop blame the government for your nasty act . Sign up for for an NHT house so you can blame the government if your home has a fault .I cant be ,nore no one can be sorry for you all for your little hide out shock and your poorness , But if stone love is playing in your area you will be wearing a $100 000 shoes and cloth to that show and get up in the morning cursing government to give you freeness.

Like cutting down the trees will lead to deforestation and that it was the government fall the trees fell down on your houses. Let me tell you all something, nothing is the government's fault because the government don't live at your house so therefore they shouldn't have to cut down your trees for you. You should be smart enough to know that hurricane comes with lot of wind and that means danger. So if you want to protect yourselves and your families what do you do? Wait on the government? See this is one of the main reason why Jamaica is the way it is today, because you people depend on the government too much. Now this issue about cutting down the trees is a cause of deforestation. Can I ask you a question? Aren't most of the trees gone now? So what point were you trying to make because cutting down the trees is a way to prevent anything fatal from happening. Even though I am living in the States now, I witnessed both Ivan, Denis and Lilly and every damaged that was caused couldn't be prevented by the government because they cannot stop mother nature from working. This is God's work. "MAN A REIGN EVERYDAY SUH NOW A GOD TIME FI REIGN" All I have to say to my fellow Jamaicans is to be safe, may God bless and keep you all and STOP DEPEND PAN DI GOVERNMENT" What is all this nonsense I hear some of you people talking about?

Blaming the government for the devastation of the Island, that happened by the hands of God. If everyone could remember, how bless the land of Jamaica was. It's time we all wake up and see that God is not pleased with his people's behaviour. There is too much blood shed, the earth is crying out with all the innocent blood. Let us give thanks unto God, that the eye of "Hurrican Dean" did not hit the Island. For the lives that are saved, you have a second chance to rebuild, what has been lost. It's going to take time and money. Many don't have a job, but you are still bless. Where there is life, there is hope. Thank God for small mercies.

Marsha & Sybrandt, IF you cut down trees you are contributing to deforestation which has it's own devastating weather effects. Consider that the poor tree was there possibly hundreds of years before that man came and decided to put his house close to it. We Jamaicans have a way of putting ourselves in the path of danger and a large percent of the time it is always a "me, me, me" attitude then when something happens we tend to want to blame someone else. Look at how many houses, shacks and mansions that are right next to a main road, not even sidewalk can build or widening the road so people can walk safe ..... can take place.., or built on the beach where we KNOW it's going to flood ..... and we WON'T move after it mash up one or two time either, or pon de sid a hill top that defies gravity ... see it? Good point on maintenance too ... light poles falling over because they are rotten in the bases. We have all these youths walking around getting into trouble .... Maybe we could make inspectors out of them for things like these so we improve the infrastructure. Proactive, not Reactive ....... that is what it will take. But people helping people, not government, will be the way get it going and government WILL notice. On love! We do need to stand up and take action but it’s not a political thing.

Here, in the travel agency, they say nothing about what have happened there and I'm not sure of going or not. I go to Negril for a week. Could anyone tell me anything about? Thanks very much.
