Andrew Holness Visits the Diaspora and Anancy Comes to Town

“I am not a politician..I only suffer the consequences” 

Peter Tosh


In a departure from my usual sabbath activities, I traveled some 20 miles from home to listen, or maybe just to hear, the new Jamaican Prime Minister(PM) Andrew Holness, speak at a church in Miramar, Fl.  I motivated myself to be there out of an unanswered curiosity as to the mission of this new PM in these very uneasy days, in Jamaica and ever increasingly worldwide.  With all curiosity and tepid enthusiasm, you'd think I would have arrived at the scheduled event time.  But my lateness would prove to pale in comparison to that of the PM, who himself had, as of 5 pm, only just gotten on the plane for a scheduled 3 o'clock event.
