It is about time the Dons in Jamaica were asked their opinion. The garrison Dons are the same men and women who have cared for their communities purchasing among other things water, food, shelter, clothing, and medicine. They are the same leaders that community members look to when afraid or anxious. Several of the Dons are more reliable than the often ludicrous and dishonest Jamaican Police. One is hesitant to contact the police, after all probabilities indicate involvement in engineering Jamaica’s internationally noted crime levels. The Police are also unreliable. They may or may not turn up when called for assistance. It is easier to contact the Don in the village; his allegiance is more loyal, more predictable. He tells the thieves to bring back your things. If your family member is murdered you legally contact the Police, for fairness, you contact the Don. For payment, the police will ‘handle’ the matter. The Don will handle the matter for justice and allegiance.
A brief look at the individuals that built respectability for Scotland shows the same fiefdoms, civil war, civil disobedience, and eventual meeting of the minds. We are coming out of a British system, look at the history, and understand why Jamaica is in a state of unrest. We have worthy tropical judges in British powdered wigs, dockets that disappear for payment and although the law says no, prisoners deemed guilty will face execution in prison. Who is responsible? The Dons have proven to be unafraid, tenacious, determined, and clear thinkers with allies. Jamaica, whether we like it or not, is in social upheaval, poised for revolution of literally stupid and unrewarding governmental systems.
Not all Dons are good. Some are just the usual strain of corruption visible in any field. Some just think they are Dons. There are some however, that are well educated. They understand international relations and diplomacy, economics, income production and the all-important security and well-being of their communities. Forget the soft, bigmouth microphone-waving politician. They have proved puffy and self-indulgent, money begging incompetents, shouting Colonial “Order” and sowing the disorder of unreliable rusty water, not enough food, poor shelters, sewage lined and bloody drainage bad roads, dust bunny attacked electrical systems, and inadequate education.
After you ask the Dons about security issues, ask them about agriculture, ask them about global marketing, transportation, and economic development. Discuss low rates of productivity, inadequate investment capital, regional free trade groups, inadequate communication systems, and Jamaica’s dependency, and vulnerability to foreign forces. The Dons are a separatist movement with the same concerns that face us all, health, education, and welfare of Jamaica’s citizens. Many of them will face disgrace and die in their efforts, but who knows maybe one day, they will get a statue in Emancipation Park, a government holiday in their name, and their faces on more worthy coinage of our homeland. It is time for Jamaicans to take back Jamaica and rebuild our name as decent people with active, well-thought out, implemented, enforced, and sustainable interests. Listen to the Dons, they understand much more than credited. This is a solution to some of Jamaica’s embarrassing difficulties.
