YES and more yes! I have said it too and is a firm believer. Look at it this way, Jamaica has gained its independence since August 1962 right, how indepedent are we really? We are still nuff money in debt, the cost of living is high, crime rate is ridiculous, the stock market is marginal, majority are poverty stricken and to make ends meet is a hard struggle. Then how independent are we? We depend on the foriegn exchange to increase our economy. Yes I understand what is done is done, however, I think if the government see another way in which things can be done, then why not do it for the betterment of the country.

Again, this is my 2cent in the matter.
