Are We Really Independent?

Today Jamaica celebrates its Independence of 44 years. The question is are we really independent? With everything outsourced, infrastructure sold out, production almost now non-existent and imports at its highest ... can we really say that we are an independent nation?

I don't think we are but I am still proud to be a Jamaican. Happy Birthday Jamaica!

Well if you gonna put it like that then there really is in no country that can truly claim independence. Trade, specialization naturally leads to interdependent societies.

I'm also proud to be a Jamaican. I hope that the challenges faced by Jamaica today can be effectively tackled for a positive future.
