Where I live.

For those of you who are ignorant of Jamaican politics, a garrison constituency is one intentionally filled with specific voters to ensure homogeneous voting. This is to guarantee that the seat will be won by a particular party. I live in a constituency fiercely loyal to the JLP . It's Central St. Catherine and is "governed" (officially) by Olivia Grange. I live in a middle-class neighbourhood so it's not so obvious but the evidence is there as the neighbouring communities are "depressed" (euphemism). It's convenient as we don't have political violence here and all the criminals know each other so there's less violence to contend with. Also, you don't need to go & vote on election day as someone, more often than not, has already voted for you! Yes guys, life in Jamaica is interesting. But I'll stay here. Nowhere is better than home no matter what is said about foreign. Security is still a concern abut God has said His angels encamp around those who fear Him. I choose to rest in the security of that promise. Just a thought.
