When
people ask me what is Jamaica like? I tell them Jamaica is like a farm that
grow lemons, yet the people don’t know how to use the lemons. But they invite
friends from foreign countries to the lemon farm who buy the lemons at a very
cheap price, then they go to their country use the lemons to make lemonade,
place it in a fancy looking bottle, place a label on the lemonade bottle that
says “Made In ForeignLand”, then resell the lemonade (made from the same lemons the
Jamaicans originally sold to them) to the Jamaicans. The Jamaicans then happily
buy the lemonade at a price ten times the price they sold the lemons, not
because it is better than anything they are able to make themselves, but
because it has the label, “Made in ForeignLand”. Then the Jamaicans complain about the
high the price of the lemonade.
